Hi guys,
I've been struggling with hair loss since I was 19 years old (24 now), and it's become a horrible obsession. Some days I literally cannot leave the house, because I feel so depressed. A recent death in my family certainly hasn't helped this scenario.
So basically, I've always been told I have no thinning or balding, despite the fact I'm terrified to look in a mirror every morning. I've been on Fin since I was 19, and I went to my doctor to ask about rogaine foam. He told me I was seeing something that wasn't there, and that I didn't need any help for my hair, it was fine.
I went to the barber, who said the same thing. He says I have fine hair, which can look very bad in direct light or if you use too heavy of a styling product. I thanked him, went home, tried to style my hair again, and was depressed pretty quickly. Why do I see something that no one else can? It's awful, because I leave the house feeling like everyone can see my balding, but then every time I seek out help or advice, I'm told it's all in my head. To be honest, it feels like I'm going crazy. I've attached photos of what I believe are my problem spots. It's at the point now where I get my hair cut every two weeks because I'm terrified of what it will look like when it's grown out.
Can somebody please, please give me some advice? I've asked on other forums, and respondents have actually gotten quite angry with me.
I've always had a slightly mature hairline, but it looks to be receding more to me. The photos were taken in front of a window on a sunny day, and I have hairspray in my hair.
