Odd hairloss at 23: Extremely depressed and suicidal. (PICS)

[TimJermaine]

For the record, assuming you're straight, you can have all the hair in the world and still not get a single girl. Chicks dig confidence, looks come second.

But back to the original point, I've looked at every picture you posted and theres no real hair loss. MAYBE like 3 hairs miniaturized in the front? Take propecia and you probably won't have to worry about it for 10 years.

I have mentioned this before, we have a friend who looks kind of like Bill Gates and has a full head of hair. He is going on 60 and has had one girlfriend his entire life... He has a negative, pity poor me attitude. Any conversation with him moves toward a discussion of his personal problems. Women love that!... NOT! He used to make fun of my hair loss. I've been married to a wonderful lady for 25 years and nearly always had a girlfriend before I got married. Another friend of mine is a Norwood 6 and has no shortage of interested women whatsoever. We indeed need a cure for MPB but alongside that, a solution to men obsessing over their hair is needed and would be very welcome. Working at Dr. Cole's office, sometimes wives and girlfriends accompany their men for consultations or come in on surgery days. It seems that 99% of the time, women tell me hair restoration is their husband's or boyfriend's thing. In other words, women seem care a lot less about hair loss than men. Some women find bald men more attractive because in their experience they're more masculine. Google it. It is true that younger women seem to like the hair better, but life usually goes on, way beyond the twenties. Nothing wrong with a guy wanting to look younger and I do agree that men do look better with hair in the front in particular, but try not to get so depressed about it. There are things you can do about hair loss.

Wrong.

This cant be serious. I guess you cant really tell because how long your hair is. Maybe if you cut it short we could tell very light diffuse thinning, but from the pictures, it seems you only have like 4 thinning strands of hair on you hairline lol. You're also overreacting, you've got people here in way worse situations and aren't suicidal. And for christ sakes you cant be considering suicide over your situation its not like your 13.

[tommyboy12]

You can't seriously be that upset about your "hairloss". I'm a year older than you and been at it for too long and have much worse thinning. It depresses me at times, never to the suicidal point, but if you're freaking out like this right now with that head of hair, when you actually start to lose your hair, I can't imagine what you'll be like. There's a reason why everyone on here thinks you're trolling, because your hair is fine

Guys, stop it. This dude caught it early. And he has more than 4 miniaturized hairs on his hairline. I also posted some threads on ************ and everybody said that I was trolling and I have no hair loss. But come on. I went to a HT doctor and he confirmed my miniaturization and I'm getting on my regimen soon. There is a reason a guy notices his hair is different.
OP, I would reccommend to see a Hait Transplant doctor to see if there is any miniaturization. I know your pain, also had great hair, but it is in the early stages of dissappearing. Just cant style it anymore the way I used to. Sooooo depressing.

You have no idea of what true hair loss feels like.

Try being a full-blown bald NW5 at 23 years and you'll know what depressing means.

Guys like OP and you don't need treatments, you need perspective.

Will must be Toms. Which hair transplant doctor diagnosed you with MPB? I am curious. I wouldn't be surprised if he was just trying to line you us as a potential patient.

Finally someone who understands! Thanks man, I appreciate your input. Oddly in the city that I live there's no specialized hair transplant surgeon, none that are certified by the American Hair Loss Association to be exact. I don't care what anyone says I KNOW my hair has has thinning unfortunately, like before the wind would blow and my hair would barely move, now I feel like all the miniaturized hairs wanna fly everywhere. I also started using hair concealer (Toppik) to make my hair look fuller, its been working great but its kind of like a soursweet feeling...Sometimes I feel like I'm cheating by using it and it's addicting! :-/

In a similar position to OP. Got tons of abuse when I posted my story as my hairloss isn't severe (yet). Even though most male members of my family are completely bald, I apparently don't have MPB. Nursedude22, the haters on this site seem to think that you're not suffering from hair loss until you're a NW3. Clearly they can't grasp that the best course of action is catching it early.

Minoxidil, finasteride and RU will serve you well.

Not true. Which one of his pics actually shows any recession or thinning? When I started losing hair, I could clearly see thinning at my hairline. Unless there is something going on that his pics aren't capturing, there is no noticeable thinning anywhere. All I see is thick hair at the hairline and beyond. People that read my posts know that I am pro treatment, but taking fin or any AA unnecessarily is just ridiculous. If you or anybody else wants to jump on fin or dut without cause, well good luck with that.

Btw guys, does thinning on the sides and nape of neck automatically means I have the dreaded DUPA ��?

How'd you respond to RU bro? Took miboxidil already for two weeks but started giving me raccoon dark circles, s discontinued it. And I don't know if I should still keep on taking propecia, what if I have DUPA?? That mean la propecia will only make it worst :-/ ugh this is srs causing me so much distress, I can't take it anymore.
