I feel so much sympathy for you. Balding in your early ages is devastating because all your peers are rocking full heads of hairs and you don't want to stand out. I was in a somewhat similar situation like you are, started to lose my hear when I was 18 although not as rapidly as you are. But it greatly interfered with my life. It was always on the back of my mind and I never really felt happy. I thought only a hair transplant will could make me happy again and I jumped into one without proper research. Now I am in worse shape than before, I wish I could just shave my head and get on with my life. But I can not do that now, and probably will need some kind of repair.
I know this is probably not what you want to hear now but if you lose your hair this early in your life than it is probably so aggressive that no medication will help you get back what you lost. I strongly suggest you to at least try to shave your head and see what it feels like and how the people react to it. If you are not meant to have hair that show your middle finger to your hair and make the shaved head your style, I know it is easier said than done, but I think this is the only way to find relief and get on with your life. Don't make the same mistakes that I did. Talk to your friends about your problem, talk to as many people as you can. And do not jump into a hair transplant recklessly like I did. What they don't tell you is that those miraculous photos they show you are the minority. The average result is nowhere near that, and if you and up with a mediocre result that is far worse than naturally balding and shaving your head.
I don't know if I can post a link here but search for slybaldguys on google and you will find a support forum that I advise you to take a look at.

18 years old and and almost bald
hello this is my story, I am 18 years old and my hair is around norwood 4-5. I didnt think much of my hairloss once it started maybe because I was young and stupid or it wasnt all that bad. Once many of my family members died I fell into a pit of depression and then my dog died, I snaped I left my final year of high school which I could of finshed easily. I didnt have much self esteem to begin with due to the depression and then hairloss hit me BAM depression sky rocketed. I would look in the mirror everyday start to cry and just think to myself this isnt me. I slowly lost all my friends even my best friend left me. I never imagined at the age of 18 I would living this kind of life style, scared to take my beanie off, looking at hairtransplant video every ****ing day, constantly searching fourms for ways to save my hair and not leaving the house. Its build this social anxiety to a point I dont want to live anymore, I have no one to talk about my issues and its just building up to a point of having suicidal thoughts regularly. I dont wanna die but I dont want to live life like this, I want to travel the world, make friends, party, get in relationships. The only hope I have now is a hairtransplant but im very poor. EVEN IF IT TAKES all my money im doing it. Hairloss has ruined the last 2 years of my life.
ive been on finasteride for 6 months and just started monoxdil with ru58841 about a week ago. My hair looks llike it got abit worse over that time but might be due to shedding who knows
