Sandra Bullock and Brad Pitt starred in the film Bullet Train together after Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum appeared together in the action comedy The Lost City. The movie’s trailer was recently made public. Bullock, 57, previously spoke of a period in her life when she was under stress, suffered from anxiety, and went bald.
The actress, who is currently appearing in the ITV4 remake of the 1994 movie Speed, acknowledged a few years ago that she had once thought she would die due to a spate of stressful life events that had a detrimental effect on her body.
In an interview with Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith, and Adrienne Banfield Norris, Bullock admitted that she “wasn’t the same” after a stalker broke into her house, the conclusion of a series of catastrophic incidents.
Bullock claimed that her son Louis’ grand mal seizure in the days before the break-in was the first stressful incident, which made her worried for his safety.
Some people confuse an epileptic fit with a grand mal, tonic-clonic seizure. Several medical disorders, such as the following, might occasionally cause this type of seizure:
Low blood sugar and a high body temperature both contribute to stroke.
These seizures typically progress through the “tonic” stage and the “clonic” stage. Most people usually pass out during the initial period. People might become rigid and collapse to the ground.
Bullock was concerned for her young son’s wellbeing. A few days later, she was bitten by a deadly spider, and things only got worse when her hair started to fall out in clumps.
When she looked at that, the actress recalled, “I thought my body was going to break.” It wasn’t responding to what was going on all that well.
“I’ve noticed my hair is thinning. I have alopecia patches all over my body. I’m arranging my hair in front of the bathtub.
If I can’t get myself together, I’ll die. Despite the fact that I typically have virtually complete control, occasionally my body will experience something I am unable to control.
In addition to being bald, the home invasion Bullock experienced while hiding in the closet caused her to experience “extreme anxiety” and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The actress wrote an impassioned note about how her house was broken into while she was at home. “While I’m in the closet, I’m contemplating how this won’t turn out well. It won’t help that I’ll be hiding in the closet. Louis stayed with me for only one night.
After the incident, the actress sought counseling and, in particular, underwent eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy, which she described as her “unraveling” process (EMDR).
With regard to traumatic experiences, which can lead to a variety of mental health conditions, EMDR assists patients in coping with the images, feelings, beliefs, and bodily sensations associated with such experiences. Talk therapy and side-to-side eye movements are both used in EMDR.
“There may be a tremendous change from someone who is continually reminded of a traumatic occurrence and all of the unpleasant symptoms to feeling like it is behind them and no longer of concern,” says Dr. Justin Havens, an expert on EMDR.
“Using EMDR expedites the body’s healing and recovery processes following trauma. Your therapist is by your side as you heal internally.
Bullock discovered that this therapy assisted her in controlling her PTSD and reducing the agonizing tension that led to her alopecia.
PTSD patients’ physiological reactions to high stress or terror last for a lengthy time as opposed to being rapid in response to an impending threat or sensation of dread.
In other words, the body produces hormones even when there is no threat to halt essential processes (including digestion, skin healing, and hair growth) so that energy can be used to react to our innate reactions to danger. This may help some people understand why they begin losing their hair after being given a PTSD diagnosis.
When treating PTSD in persons who are losing their hair, it is crucial to massage the scalp softly and avoid scorching the hair with tools or strong chemicals. The best scalp treatments might be recommended by a dermatologist if you have unsightly and bothersome bald areas.
