Hey you guys. My hairloss has brought me to a point where I don't even know what to say.
I'm 23 years old. I started losing around 17ish. I always had extremely thick blonde hair. That was my defining factor.
I was always the blond kid who would "never go bald"
Now the thing about me is... I was good looking before I started losing my hair. I used to be able to get girls and was just a pretty confident guy (never cocky or anything like that)
I just don't look right now. It has gotten awful. My hair is really really blond. I have white skin, blond eyebrows.. you get the picture. My hairline is heavily receded and front is really thin. Crown has been thinning for years also, but not as bad as the front. It's just like a puff of whitish blonde hairs now.
The sides of my hair, in front of my ears, has moved back giving me that wide forehead look. I just look like a freak.
I had (have I guess) everything to be happy about. I'm young, graduated college last year and got a real job at a major company, moved into a new place, good friends good family... But now I am slowly destroying it all.
My mind has been consumed with my hair. I was always a really happy guy. Hairloss is slowly ruining my life.
I can't look in the mirror without tearing up. It is seriously like looking at a stranger in the mirror. I catch glances of my reflection and I want to die. My forehead wrinkles are getting worse and my face mixed with hairloss is making me look OLD. ITS TERRIBLE. I ACTUALLY LOOK OLD AT 23.
My job revolves around constantly talking to a bunch of people and I'm having trouble even being comfortable around people because of my hair. I feel lost.
I will never leave my place or let anyone see me without toppik. Even with a ton of toppik I still look bad.
I was on propecia for a year and a half awhile back and quit. I'm back on it now for 6 months and have been on rogaine for 2 years... i dont think its helping at all though. It would take a miracle to get my hair back to a place where I can be content
Guys, I dont know what to do. I feel like im just waiting for my hair to come back. I avoid everything now, things I used to love. People will say the common "oh hairloss just triggered it. It's more than that" , but its not. It is the only thing keeping me down. Everything else in my life is beyond awesome.. I should be enjoying myself more than ever right now.
I can't do the shave thing. My head is huge and shaped weird. I shaved last year just to test it out and it was awful. Everyone told me how bad it looked and I needed to grow my hair asap. I looked even worse than with it grown out, especially with my forehead that sticks out, blonde eyebrows, and longish head. So that is out of the question.
What do I do????? I'm beyond the word desperate.
If you read this and even give me some input, thank you so much. It really does mean a lot. This is the only place I can talk about this
