    Hairline gone but it gets worse. Need advice QUICK.

    I have been suffering from major depression and anxiety from balding for about a year now. But the balding part is not what really depresses me, it is rather the shape of my head. I have an oddly shaped head and I get anxiety when I see myself. I don't like to go out in public anymore because of it. I am not overreacting either. First time I ever buzzed my head I was a teenager and first thing my friend said was that I was a peanut head. I was 14 then. Never did I do that again, until now. I have a receding hairline and it's around the Norwood 3. When I first noticed my hairline has receding greatly, I panicked. After deciding it was time to buzz it, I was hoping for relief and liberation. But that was not the case.

    I had a cousin of mine buzz my head with clipper guard 0 and first comment was, "You have a weird shaped head". After that I continued to buzz it until, more of the same comments were made to me by others. I sit here today in need of desperate help. My depression and anxiety is killing my motivation, and affecting my work performance. I don't know what to do. Asking for advice on a hair loss forum is my last resort. I still have a buzzed head, thinking of growing it out to maybe still have a couple years I can have a normal haircut. But don't know if that will work.

    The worst part about it is that I have wonderful life. Great parents, awesome career, 28 years old, single, no kids, and not to sound ****y but I've always been handsome my whole life, even without hair i'm still handsome but I have a weird shaped head and that's what ****s it up.

    PLEASE! My job is in jeopardy. I don't know what to do. It consumes my every thought and bit of energy. It leaves me with no motivation. I feel like lying down to sleep and praying I never wake up.

        Would like to in order to receive appropriate feedback and insight, but don't know if I can trust the internet with such embarrassing info.

            What treatments are you using? There are some good topical treatments and there is always Propecia. I really don't like using a drug everyday and recently i quit but if i get desperate I might go back on in micro doses or try it in a topical. Either way its poison but its the only thing that puts a pause in hair loss.

            https://www.medicalwellnesscenter.com you can order a good topical

            https://murrayavenueapothecary.vendecommerce.com go to the hair loss section.

                  Take Finasteride and Minoxidil. Put the Minoxidil foam on your hairline and vertex twice daily. It will make your hair grow faster.

                  It sucks, believe me I know. My hair is the same way.

                  If you really want to grow it fast, use medication, but use PRP therapy (Platelett Rich Plasma).

                  Your head isn't as weird shaped as mine is, but I know the feeling. Balding sucks, it just does.

                        So can you tell us more about the PRP? Did it really seem to help grow hair or what was your experience?
