This disease.

Not saying my thoughts are rational. I guess hair loss is just hitting me with depression, nothing I can do about it... Seemingly.

They are rational. Fixed by 35 on this forum once said "Depression is a normal and healthy reaction to hair loss"

I get depressed every now and then because of this crap. For the most part, I just get pissed off.

I know how you guys feel, i've been thinking of HT for a while i a norwood 2 but have think hair, just have receding hair line. Sometimes I cry and just don't want to go out.

Yeah it's devastating for sure. I'm 19 and I have this small thin patch on my left temple that sometimes leads me to some real dark thoughts, for example, I sometimes wish I would have a freak accident that would end my life... Or wish that I had a terminal illness.

It weird to reminisce about myself as a 12 year old boy who pictured the future to be about what job I would have, what university I would go to... And now at 19 I'm more bothered about how to keep my hair. My 12 year old self was oblivious... Sad really

The even more upsetting thing about hair loss is you are basically forced into medication because it is a condition that worsens and something you really don't have much control over at all.. And if all fails you are left to live your life with a hairline that is constantly creeping back effecting your self esteem CONSTANTLY.

Hey, I have a thin patch on my left temple as well - it randomly appeared during my senior year at high school. I recently figured out out that it's called triangular alopecia. The good news is, if that's all you have, it may not be progressive and just end there for you, nothing a small FUE can't fix. Unfortunately for me, however, I got both Triangular Alopecia and MPB at the same time .. At 16.

Eating crap.. I do wonder if there's a connection?

Doubt it tho, as I see drunks with great heads of hair in town..

I wouldn't buy into that hair loss/diet crap. It may improve quality of existing hair if you have a good diet but it can't change genetics.
This shit is for life

Having no hair can affect your confidence but a lot of treatment are out there. The main treatment for Alopecia Totalis are therapies which focus on immunomodulation, such as glucocorticoid injections, anthralin, or glucocorticoids taken orally. We have heard reports from some that years of steroid therapy can put the condition into remission. Years of steroid therapy is not always enjoyable however, as there are side effects. It is important to comment that Rogaine (Minoxidil) is not effective for those with Alopecia Totalis. Some treatments which have been considered include Methotrexate, a treatment for autoimmune disorders, and corticosteroids have been proposed as treatments.

I understand how you feel, Clandestine. There is every chance that your hair will grow back, but it may fall out again. No one can tell you when it might fall out or grow back. You may lose more hair, or your hair loss may stop. The hair you have lost may or may not grow back. Even a person who has lost all of his hair may grow all of his hair back. The disease varies from person to person.

Losing my hair at 17 forced me to cultivate a good personality, a sense of humour and a sense of fashion.

Yes, the state of depression is possibly the most common for all of us.
I know, it is hard to accept the fact that you are balding especially at the age of 20s.
I agree with Fred that this 'hell' that is called hair loss can really encourage a man to become a strong person. The question is HOW?
