I can't do it

Bro I'm going to start with this. I feel your pain as this is exactly whats happening to me except im in my early twenties. Ive had days when I wanted to break down on the train. But listen to this. There is nothing that is going to make you feel worse than becoming depressed and letting it consume you.

What happened to me? I've become a bitter and resentful mother f and thats how I cope with it. But one thing you cannot do is let it affect your future as you will make things worse for yourself. As much as it hurts, go to college, go to university, get a good degree and get a good job. Once you have a good job you will be in a position to be able to afford to have treatment in the future if still wish to. I hope you make it bro, we are in this together.

I appreciate it man, I really do. No one understands how this feels, and it's not something we can be open about. It's not until you go through this like we have that one can fathom how much it sucks. I'll listen to your advice since I trust your judgement; I can't trust people with full heads of hair talking down on me for being bothered though lol

I feel for you man. This forum is a great place to vent, use it

Are you on meds?

Yes, currently on Fin and Minox, which sucks because it's already at the point where maintaining won't be enough to keep a decent look. It's ridiculous that even taking the meds at the earliest possible point (18) won't preserve a normal hairline.

At least you can take meds, geez.

But nah I feel you, fvck it all.

Yeah, no one who isn't balding can understand what it's like.

I think anyone who comes here seeking advice on treatment should be warned (and usually is) that your hairline is done, son. We can only really hope to keep enough in the NW2-3 formation to rock the power forehead. Once you're in your early to mid twenties, I think that is a plenty acceptable look.

Yeup. Unless you take dut at the first sings of hairloss, your hairline is gonzo.

I was a solid nw2 a year ago and have since become a nw2.8 with major loss in density.....and major temple recession.

With the right conditions, i can come off as if i am not a bald bastard, maybe just a big fore headed asymmetrical muhfcka...

*MPB LIFE HACK**

What i do now is wear a hat, so when ppl first see me subconciously register me at my best ie symetrical ie no recession ie normal forehead etcc (symetrical features a big attraction subconcikously..) then when i take off my hat, obvoisly i look worse but it doens't conciously register #oh shit this bozo is hiding his hairloss with a hat'...its more of, 'hey that guy looks good in a hat'

PS ****** hats bro
