Bald Dave's story - (My Story)

[Bald Dave]

Hi everyone,

I am a 24 year old man who is losing his hair in a big way!!! For years I used to wash my hair everyday and it would fall out in big chuncks!!!

Since 2002 I have been suffering from depression and stress and this hasn't helped my hair loss. I was bullied at work which caused the depression - people were getting me down and I felt so helpless!!! I lost many friends as result of the bullying and thus haven't got much of a social life!!!

I also suffer from insomnia and even when I am really tired it takes me a long time to get to sleep!

I hear that my hair loss is the cause of depression, stress and insomnia because noone in family suffers from it!!!

Is there anyone else out there in a similar situation?

life is just part of who you are , there is more to you then this life , follow your dreams and god will reward you trust me., you will be very happy someday believe me , once you start treatment for your hair loss that is a huge first step , do all you can for that and leave the rest in gods hands.

what the hell do u mean u got bullied at work? you said that you are 24...bullying should cease after graduating high school. you need to learn to stand up for yourself.

Exercise will help with insomnia, it will also help with your self esteem and depression.

I am not saying it is a cure all, but possibly a major assist to your issues. Being a shut in will only make matters worse!

Good luck to you, keep your chin up. Your problems won't solve themselves, work at your problems and you will turn things around.

Look man I am a 17 year old kid going through the same thing and even I am learning to cope with it... I am gonna go to college soon and gonna follow my dreams, stand up for yourself dude, balding doesn't make you less of a man. If anyone makes fun of you for that they are just plain a**holes, my advice to you is go out and get some girls 8) !

In the last couple of months my life has become alot better!!! I have been going out to bars/clubs and meeting people!!! Last Saturday I went out to this bar and I had a great time! I met this girl and we talked for hours! Unfortunately she already has a boyfriend but we could stay friends!

I still suffer from depression even though the bullying has stopped and I've started to get my life together! I have now left the job where I was being bullied and the reason why I couldn't stand up for myself was because the bully was good friends with my boss!!!

I totally agree with you Ray777 I am going to find some girls because I think this will make me more happy! I have never had a girlfriend because my hairloss made me lose confidence but I don't care about what people think of me I am just going to have an awesome time and enjoy my life! I am going to stop worrying about stupid things and not let people get me down!

Hey Bald Dave,

I am in the same situation as you. I am also 24 years old and during all my life I got teased by other people. In my soccer club, in my tennis club, in my school,...... I was always the fool who would allow others to treat him like sh*t. But this has stopped. Nobody is mistreating me anymore, nobody!
