Hair loss, layered nails and bruises?

Question

Hey guys! Hope you can help me with this...

In the last month I started to loose a lot of hair, my nails started to brake more (layering) and I started to get bruises very easlily. I'm really worried because although I always had a problem with my nails, I never lost so much hair daily. When I wash my hair a lot of it comes out and when I brush it after washing it about 100 strands come out. I never dyed it before and I dont use any chemicals. I just blow dry it, but lately i stoped even doing that. Now I try to braid it losely whenever i can. Also I get bruises very easly. I will bump into something and there will be a big bruise. Sometimes I get bruises the next day and i dont know from what. (no one is beating me hehe :D) Im 18 so this is the first for me.

Could stress like work and school be part of this.

Also food maybe?

What should I eat if its nutrition I'm lacking??

Thanks you for all the answers in advance!

It could be stress, it could be a vitamin B deficiency, it could be a medical condition. The best thing to do when you notice so much going on, is to make a Dr's appointment. They can do a test to see if your low on vitamins, minerals, check the balance of your endocrine system, too many things to list off. I would put it off for long, its something you should see your doctor about.
