Hair has been falling out like crazy! help!

Soo.... a month or two ago i had a lot of hair. Everything was fine.. I colored and bleached it no problem there as i was taking care of it. Camping came and new shampoo tresemme botanics damage therapy i used since then .. I hate the shampoo so i stopped using like 5 days ago... And i also had to be on antibiotics for a uti. I guess i need more water in my system. I may do 1 gallon a day from now on..
But my hair has been Drastically falling out like all day.. everyday.. Not in large clumps as if it were cancer but.. strands of my hair.. falling from its roots!
Its freaking me out because im noticing how thing my hair is getting. And it is too fast!
I bleached my front hair almost rouge xmen hair but its blonde and already i can see that most of my hair i had there is now Gone! I'm freaking out cause i don't know if its internal? or if I have to much radiation around me? or not enough water or poor diet? or allergy to mold and my cat? shoot. Im freaking out here!

okay.. so i saw a dermatologist who specializes with hair and he told me.. Because of my UTI my body was expierencing stress and because of that my hair was the first thing to be affected. It had been about 3 weeks ago since my uti attacked me he said it'd take up to 4 to 6 weeks to see the damage from the uti. Well he prescribed me a topical solution that will stop the alopecia from continuing, stop the hormones that are affecting the hair follicles ugh.. so much hair keeps falling out though.. haha to think of it when i bleached the front of my hair i had a lot of hair there... now i barely have strands..:( Im not bald but i can see my scalp.. but anyway he also gave me a zinc shampoo and another prescription shampoo, supposed to see hair again In like 6 months... Maybe i should trim my hair. I dont want to cause its so long.. i guess i have to. But I have a followup appt in Dec I pray this will stop soon. In the meantime im gonna stuff my face with Greens aka vitamin K!
