Do I have Telogen Effluvium? How long will it last? 19 year old male experiencing hair shedding for the past 7 months (Photo)

My hair feels and looks thinner to me even though its not apparent to others. I do see white bulbs on end of my hairs. My family's hair genetics are good. My hairline is also NOT receding in the slightest. Im not under an immense amount of stress besides tests and exams which do put medium amounts of stress on me but when first noticed i was very stressed for a period of two weeks. Blood test was good. Could this possibly be TE ? Will it only end once i am not under any stress at all? thank you!
