Hair loss ruining my physical health too

[doubleindemnity]

I am so sad that I have stopped eating with the same vigor. I lost almost 2kg in the last 6 weeks. My squat strength went down by 15kg and probably similar for the upper body too. I am just so miserable and everything, even eating to feed oneself or getting dressed in the morning, seems to take more effort than I want to give. The source of my misery comes down to hair loss. Keep in mind that a month or two ago I made a post on here about how I wanted to try shaving it, growing a beard and moving on. That hasn't happened.

I wish i can help you. But there's really no hope once you're bald. Nothing i say will ever matter

Nothing on the internet can help, let alone you or this website. I just come on here to post about my worries and complaints.

OP, if you don't mind sending me pictures of your hair, perhaps I can offer a surgeon to help. Even with DUPA, a skilled surgeon may be able to give you a decent hairline and greatly improve your confidence.

I've contacted over 10 clinics. Some of the most highly regarded surgeons because I saved up so that I can afford even a hair transplant in North America. But the best that I can get is to use my scalp and body donor but leave the crown bald. I'll send you photos but I don't know why I still have any hope. No sane person would.

He's posted his hair. Transplant is not an option. @doubleindemnity needs a high quality hair piece. They are pretty amazing these days

very sad indeed

I guess he’s anxious over the idea of people knowing/finding out that he’s wearing a system.
The thing is , life is short in the long run nobody will care

Hair pieces ARE misery

Hair pieces ARE misery

What’s stopping him from trying it then ditching it?

You can only remain in a state of learned helplessness for so long, it is a coping strategy with an expiration date. I am sorry you are going through this.

Do you know how long it lasts? It seems like myself and others such as @Feelsbadman have been going through it a long long time. To put it into perspective, we were making posts like this before the pandemic.

Your situation is quite different compared to @Feelsbadman. I obviously don’t know you guys personally but I think you are both totally different types of guys. The only common denominator is the pain of not having a partner and ineffective coping skills to deal with / change the situation.

These guys don't know how lucky they are to have a therapist online here who understands their situation better than most therapists. If only some would listen and apply it.

Even that isn't the worst case scenario. At least having a hairline + decent top coverage will get you out of the bald guy category, where it's no longer a factor when meeting someone.

What exactly are your real world approach percentages regarding women? I do not regard apps for anything so don't say I tried the apps and it didn't work out.

I agree with this. I'd rather have a buzz cut with a hairline and no / little hair in the back than have the horseshoe and slick bald. A hairline that shapes your face is a major importance for aesthetics. Without that or a very good head shape you make people feel uncomfortable addressing you because you look like a mutant.
