new guy feel so unhappy

[Jack21]

wow! For years I thought that there was something SERIOUSLY wrong with me for feeling so depressed about hair loss. I can't believe how many other people are so affected by it. I am not saying that I have learned to accept it b/c I haven't, but I see dozens of bald men everyday going about their lives - at the grocery store, at work, even on television (well really just 1 or 2 out of the hundreds of faces I see on the TV/ every week but still there are some). The custodian of my apartment complex has a prosthetic leg and he wears shorts everyday. If someone can lose a leg and wear shorts in public everyday SURELY we can all learn to accept losing our hair.

I disagree. If there was no hope or prospect of an effective treatment, I wouldn't be here by now. I'd have given up on life long ago and either be dead or living rough.

I do think the army shaped your current views, but by no means is that a bad thing. The army has clearly shaped you into someone with a robust psychological mindset. Nor is collectivist thinking a weakness; unlike individualism, working as a group is something which must be taught and is an inherently stronger trait.

However, where baldness is concerned I don't want to accept it, I want to fight it. There are some things in life, like cancer and, worse, Simon Cowell which must never be accepted or they will spread and become more prominent.

So, my regimen ensures baldness is curtailed. Not only do I take medication to slow my own loss, I will also ensure I never father a child in order to keep the bald gene under lock and key.

............. There are days that i can't stop crying i just want to die today is one of them, i have watery eyes as i type this, i can't work because i dont want to stress my hair any longer i want to work but iam scared thet it will get faster. Every night i dream and hope that the cure will be around the corner dreaming that histogen and folica will release their product in the UK soon, i try and aviod the sun, i just hate my life really, sometimes i wonder why was i bless with such bad luck all i want is to have hair like beckham or brad pitt.

I'm having one of those weeks now

I probbaly sleep two or three hrs a night and then wake up at 4 am and then toss and turn until 8 am

I'm exhausted when I get into work and can't wait for the day to end so I can go home and pass out due to being so f'n tired

I look forward to the week end when I don't have to get up and face the world

I think I need to visit the shrink again so he can put me on depression pills or something

Like you, I hate what my hair loss has done to me mentally and I wish I could be like other people an dnot give a rat's *ss .

Some of us just take it a lot harder, as the values in society a rated hihger amounst us. just counting the days till they bring out a cure, have been saving my money for that.

Not this silly conspiracy theory claptrap again!

Let's think of some examples shall we? Just because dial up internet made companies a lot of money from people racking up huge phone bills, it didn't stop someone introducing cheaper, faster broadband did it?

Just because large oil companies rely on the automotive industry, it hasn't stopped the continuing development of electric cars and cars that run on hydrogen has it?

Just because Microsoft dominated the market for well over a decade, it didn't stop Apple breaking through did it?

That's the point; sure, there are those who don't want a cure to come out. But the reality is that the returns from a cure and all the things above will be far too great for any company, regardless of size, to stop it. Also, you simply cannot silence that many people.

Oh, and of course, the returns from Propecia are pathetic compared to what Merck could make from a drug which is more effective and has less side effects.

The difference between this product is that you'll have an endless supply of people losing their hair, people will lose there hair 100 of years in the future, but a product that stops and regrowns you hair well your looking at returns that will last hundreds of years and massive profits.
So those that dont want to find cure will lose out of some major profits to be made, its increasing returns to scale if they bring out a cure.

Look right now only a very small proportion of people >4% are seeking hair lose help, because its a risk and not 100%, you bring out a product that is 100% to give all your hair back you'll most likely see 90% or more customers.

The Demand is there, just need to fill it in, teeth hair regeneration will be the 2 biggest products that this capital system will ever see, we arnt talking about million we are talking about billions even trillions to be made in profits.
