Impact on your looks

[chrisis]

The other option is HTs, but even then, they are a short term fix and you will never get your original density back.

Life is a pinball machine. Some win; some lose. If you're living in a western country with shelter and regular meals, you've already won. I don't mean to sound patronising, but basically I mean to say there's no "bad guy", so stop chasing "him" and deal with the situation as best you can. Creating a fictional villain is not going to help.

It is natural you want to look good and there are options. I refer specifically to the part I quoted. HTs aren't a short term fix if you plan sensibly and you're lucky enough to have minor hair loss and a slow balding rate. Also, you can get your original density back, assuming once again your hair loss is relatively minor (which it seems to be) and you go to a skilled doctor that will pack grafts densely.

Hairloss is shit. Simple as. Its completely ruined my life.

Just think your lucky you did not start losing your hair as young as I did (16) and I am one year older than you now (27) and I have virtually nothing left on top. Got the shaved look going.

I personally can not deal with my hairloss at all it is on my mind 24/7, I even worry about it in my dreams.

As long as you can still go out and meet girls and still have enough confidence to ask them out then you should be fine. If your as unconfident as I am then we both need to snap out of it soon!

I worry about it in my dreams too mate. Which is in itself ridiculous; is my subconscious so permeated with thoughts of hairloss that I must dream about it too? I sometimes take comfort in knowing we're in this together; no one is alone, we feel similarly.

I have hairloss on my mind virtually constantly as you probably do which causes it to affect our dreams too. Which is not surprisingly really as we always feature in our own dreams and therefore we have to picture ourselves. We have to picture ourselves as we are (baldies) and I personally do not like seeing myself that way and in turn worry about it when I meet people in my dreams, I think my mind tries to force itself to put hair on my head in dreamworld and it sometimes works.

It truly sucks.

Worrying about your hairloss as your character inside your dreams, in a world that does not actually exist and there is no1 to judge you but your still there worrying.

Dreams.....more like nightmares.

Yeah I too have dreams that minoxidil has restored my hairline and I think I don't need to spend money and time with a HT anymore. Then I wake up and....

Ah, having hair again dreams. The biggest tease. Especially if it's just minoxidil.

The most frustrating part about hairloss is that there is so little we can do. I'm sure anyone here would gladly climb Everest if there was a cure for hairloss at the top. Of course I'm no mountain climber; so I wish someone would climb up there for me, bring the cure down, and sell it to me at whatever ridiculous price they want, as long as it works. Metaphorically, that is.

[chrisis]

Maybe that's where the cure is?

Check out these Everest mountaineers:



None of them exhibit any sign of balding.

Very true. That which we resist persists. We should try our best to count our blessings; as I'm sure there are many of them.
