new guy feel so unhappy

[zero_confidence_balder]

i read ur story (every last post) and I feel for you. if it makes you feel any better, I'd think the scar on ur head looks badass, not just the ones on ur shoulder



Now that I think about it, I remember being at a party at my friend's brother's house (this was while I was in college) and there was a guy there in his late 20s/early 30s with a shaved head and a massive scar in back, ear to ear. Well, being the insensitive douche that I am when drunk, I bluntly asked him how he got it and he got really really upset. Obviously I felt bad...I really don't know what I was expecting him to say...its not like he could've gotten it from anything "cool". I suppose, like I said, I thought it was badass...

I doubt it, but I hope that guy wasn't you

I'm having one of those weeks now

I probbaly sleep two or three hrs a night and then wake up at 4 am and then toss and turn until 8 am

I'm exhausted when I get into work and can't wait for the day to end so I can go home and pass out due to being so f'n tired

I look forward to the week end when I don't have to get up and face the world

I think I need to visit the shrink again so he can put me on depression pills or something

Like you, I hate what my hair loss has done to me mentally and I wish I could be like other people an dnot give a rat's *ss .

Some of us just take it a lot harder, as the values in society a rated hihger amounst us. just counting the days till they bring out a cure, have been saving my money for that.

............ just counting the days till they bring out a cure, have been saving my money for that.

You really think they want to find a cure
If they do think of how many docs will have nothing to do
Think about the manufacurters of all these uselss so-called hair remedies all goign bellyup

Not this silly conspiracy theory claptrap again!

Let's think of some examples shall we? Just because dial up internet made companies a lot of money from people racking up huge phone bills, it didn't stop someone introducing cheaper, faster broadband did it?

Just because large oil companies rely on the automotive industry, it hasn't stopped the continuing development of electric cars and cars that run on hydrogen has it?

Just because Microsoft dominated the market for well over a decade, it didn't stop Apple breaking through did it?

That's the point; sure, there are those who don't want a cure to come out. But the reality is that the returns from a cure and all the things above will be far too great for any company, regardless of size, to stop it. Also, you simply cannot silence that many people.

Oh, and of course, the returns from Propecia are pathetic compared to what Merck could make from a drug which is more effective and has less side effects.

People ask me all the time what the scar is and they're 100% sober. Don't feel bad. I simply say that I had surgery and would prefer not to get into the details. I can't see the scar unless I look at the back of my head with another mirror so I pretty much just don't look at it unless I'm cutting my hair. Out of sight, out of mind I guess. I get a bit of a shock every time I see it, but then realize that most people see me the way I see myself in the mirror and don't walk around me to look at the back. I don't know. I just try to deal with it.

The difference between this product is that you'll have an endless supply of people losing their hair, people will lose there hair 100 of years in the future, but a product that stops and regrowns you hair well your looking at returns that will last hundreds of years and massive profits.
So those that dont want to find cure will lose out of some major profits to be made, its increasing returns to scale if they bring out a cure.

Look right now only a very small proportion of people >4% are seeking hair lose help, because its a risk and not 100%, you bring out a product that is 100% to give all your hair back you'll most likely see 90% or more customers.

The Demand is there, just need to fill it in, teeth hair regeneration will be the 2 biggest products that this capital system will ever see, we arnt talking about million we are talking about billions even trillions to be made in profits.

OK so they find a cure .

What is it .... a pill you have to take for the rest of your life with side effects

Maybe I'm jaded but by the time they fiund a cure I'll be long gone

The best cure is to shave your head and embrace it
