sustance abuse/self medicating

[hiilikeyourbeard]

long story short: when i was in my early teens i was heavy into drugs and almost lost my life because of it, went to treatment when i was 18 and was sober for 7 years. hair loss changed that so fast it was unbelievable. since then i have been self medicating again with drugs. does anyone else struggle with this? it's just insane how fast it caused a relapse in me.

Drugs are one thing that I have never tried. Believe me I hate hair loss as much as the next guy, but will not go to the extremes because I can't deal with it.

that's great to hear. this has just weakened me like nothing else, and fast.

Rather than seeking comfort in substance abuse, why not seek a doctor to help steer you in the right direction to treat your hair loss? Seems like you are only 25. If so your chances of arresting your hair loss and possibly reversing some of it are excellent.

I'm not quite sure what you're exactly referring to with 'self-medicating' or why you're describing it that way. I understand you've had problems in the past with (presumably) hard drugs. So you're talking about a relapse, using the former drugs to forget your problems or self medicating drugs to counter your hair loss or using subscription marijuana to relief stress. Just to make sure.

yes that's what I'm referring to. anything to numb this pain
