Depressed with hair loss, so I killed an entire extra large pizza and 3 cokes.

[greatjob!]

Do I have to be a NW4 with crown thinning to be taken seriously?

I'll break it down for you...

If you came on this forum as a NW 1/2 who wanted to stay up to date on future developments or ways to maintain the hair you have, that would be fine and no one would have a problem with you. However that is not what you have done. You have made 1500+ posts in a little over a year, most of which are highly emotional post claiming that baldness is terrible and is ruining your life. For people like me who's life has been severely impacted by baldness, and based on your perfect head of hair, I want to punch you in the face for your ridiculous comments.

Its like if you had a mild 1st degree burn on a small portion of your right thigh and you went onto a forum for severe burn victims and made 1500+ posts about how your mild burn was ruining your life. No one on that forum would take you seriously and they would all hate you.

To show you what it means to suffer from mpb I will detail my story for you. I started losing my hair right after puberty. I noticed it around 12 years old. When I graduated from high school I was a diffused NW 3. By the time I was 21 I was a very diffused NW 6. At 24 I had a strip transplant by a doctor who is very respected, I was very naive and he lied to me and told me that the small amount of grafts I received, a little over 800, would change my life and my baldness problems would be solved. I was put in a position were I looked ridiculous not shaving down, but I couldn't because of the scars, so I resorted to concealers for 4 years. It ruined my life, I lost the only girl I ever loved, began drinking heavily and contemplated suicide on a daily biases. Less than a year ago I had a transplant with Dr. Rahal of 3340 grafts and it has grown in great, but I still need more work to fill in the 2/3rds and be some what content with the way I look .

So please forgive me if I want to stab you when I see you post comments about how terrible mpb is when you have a perfect head of hair. Stop being a little bitch and acting like your life is ruined when you have zero problems with hairloss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
