Postpartum hair loss

Dear fellow parents I'm 6 months post partum and feeling so damn disgusted by myself because of the amount of hair I'm dropping. My hair line is receding and I literally have a terrible bald spot (diagnosed with Alopecia areata) cause of the immense stress I'm under (working from home and caring for my baby alone). Hoping some of you fellow parents or mommies can comfort me or reassure me that my hair will get back in a year or two 😭. Am so so depressed about the amount of hair that is dropping. Also I'm already using hair loss products but still very upset at how much is dropping and how I just don't look the way I used to anymore :( am gonna get treatment next month. But in the meantime please help a fellow mama who is very upset :( many thanks in advance and hoping all of you are doing better than I am :(
