Want to shoot myself in the head

[Recedingcrew]

I wouldn't wish balding on my worst enemy.

Its really horrible to observe such posts in the various forums

Why don't you believe in the nature as much as you believe in the medicines and surgeries

Getting hair back is a very normal and easy process. Don't make it more complicated, don't get confused.

I posted the procedure in my own thread. Just give a try and Im telling you that you will get back your hair for sure.

I've been thinking about your original post a bit and I have to say that it's pretty fcked up that she said that to you. Imagine if you went up to a girl and said "Oh, you are so fat and have all those wrinkles around your eyes. It must be hard to meet a man carrying around all that extra weight and looking so old." If you said that to her she would probably have a mental breakdown. It's easy to tear someone down. I'm also glad to hear that you are in the same age range as some of us. I'm in my late 30's and most of the guys I know have some degree of hair loss. All I know is that women who judge men by those very unrealistic standards end with a few cats and a lot of regrets. Anyway, I want to also let you know that I take Dutasteride on a daily basis and have been on that for several years now. Prior to that I was taking Propecia. Neither of these medications has affected my libido in the slightest and I've basically stopped losing hair. I can even gain hair depending on my Dutasteride dosing. The cost of this medication keeps me in the .5 to 1.5mg range as a daily regiment.
Also, I've been losing hair since I was 15, so the process for me has been a lifelong adventure. But it's totally ok! The only time it's ever affected me is when I let it affect me. So I definitely don't want anyone here to feel like the dread of hairloss stays with you forever. Especially for guys! I find it weird if you don't lose any hair!

I gotta say this isn't helpful. It's not easy to tear someone down it's easy to lack perception and allow people to tear you down. Some of the most confident people in the world would be considered extremely ugly by today's standards. The fact is we emphasize looks too much when we all die we decompose the same and we will miss life being overly focused on or short comings. For Christ sake people are born without legs, people are porn worn physical deformities and they carry through life. The key is to find your niche in life chase it not vanity Or women and you will meet the right person along the way. I'm not saying we all wouldn't have looked better with a full head of hair but I don't think this women was trying to hurt you. I joke about my grey hairs and thin hair and I'm not even 30. If someone mentions it doesn't bother me in the slightest. It did when I was 19 but that was 10 years ago and I focus on my positive attributes instead. Anyways hair loss does suck I doubt about it but so many things suck more like cancer, which I had at 23 and really made me let go of hair loss bothering me. I do my best to maintain it. If a cure really came I would use it but In the mean time I do things I love to do.

I would just buzz it short, and save your $$ for something worthwhile... like retirement or charity.

Bro you 40yrs Old thats so calm - its an expected look for a guy your age . I hope I still have some hair at 40

[sayian]

Shave it, even if you look odd as bald, you will look younger.

Funny you should ask that. I've actually tried Susan Mernsteins formula. She used to be Dr. Klein's pharmacist. And I'm using thirty percent Minoxidil, combined with .1% Finasteride and .5% Progesterone. And I have pictures. This was from medicalwellnesscenter.

Also, I have a friend who is using Dr. Klein's formula, and is happy with that as well. Although he has been using it for less than a month now.

FYI: I am in my mid/late forties. Been balding since my twenties.

Hi Borntosoon. I see I'm quite late to this party. I signed up to this forum myself only 30 minutes ago and wanted to start a topic, but yours caught my attention and I've read every comment in detail. I find your post very entriguing. You made an interesting point about confidence and personality and I believe you have both. Both shine through in your post, you seem like a funny guy. I believe there is a common misconception that not liking something about yourself means you have no confidence. I can honestly say I have never had any problems with attracting girls or achieving my work goals, but I hated my hairline and wanted to do something about it. My point is that while it is probably all in your head that the girl was checking out your hair - your paranoia is not likely to go away until you are feeling right/good about it. There are some great people on here commenting, offering support and advice. I like them really wish you well and hope you get the results you are looking for one day.

Hey.. That's wack man. I'm sorry to hear. But in my opinion you got jipped.. :-/ My surgeon did 2200 with FUE and in 1 day. And it was less than 15k (in Beverly Hills!!) I suggest doing a TON of research. Don't lose hope, just go for Round 2!! Play your cards wisely. Good luck!

Also realized you may not have been replying to me, my bad my browser notified me strangely.

Seems like you are saying you are confident but in reality you have doubts which contribute to low self-esteem. There are so many procedures you can try today and the best thing to do is talk to your doctor for now to give you proper advises on which kind of procedure is just right for you in the future.

Where do you see the doubts? I posted a question to which I knew the answer to, I told them when I first noticed my hair was going (from shock slope is mind you my body lost hair as well luckily kept eyebrows so no, no treatment) I was nervous yes, but when I shaved my head and seen how well I looked bald? I didn't care, I was free and the best part is now that I know I look young shaved bald I'll stay looking 21-22 unless I wrinkle early or something. Point is; my hair doesn't bug me and I posted to try to get some hope to those guys here who are young losing hair, telling them not to buy into the garbage that many of these guys slew about hair loss being the end all etc. also you replied to something else about my age compared to women's? I don't get that as I'm 20 myself and look 22 ish so I don't look old but I didn't understand your point there. Anyway I came on here to give other young guys hope and show them bald is nowhere near what so many defeatists here say. True I only log on once a year but hey, haha so if I don't reply that's why, I don't have time for pity parties some guys like Fred cry about on here. Not saying you do I don't know you but you get my point, my non responsiveness is not because of a lack of confidence haha. Believe me you don't become one of the youngest skydivers in your state by being meek and self conscious.
