I am ready to concede to my baldness. I have been on propecia for 16 months and the top of my head is the thinnest it has been. I have been on rogaine for 3 months and am tired of worrying about applications etc. I feel that it is best to shave it off and work on being confident in who I am and not what my hair looks like. In fact, I think people would respect me more if I shaved it rather than having a thick horseshoe in back with sparse hair with scalp showing through on top. The thinning look is not a good look to have at 23. My hair gets very flat throughout the day and my hairloss becomes very noticeable.
Although I cannot say for sure if propecia caused me to gain weight, I do have to say that I gained about 30lbs in 16 months since beginning. My diet has been typical of a college student but it was that way long before I began propecia. Since being fat AND thinning is not a good look for anyone, I am going to see if I can get back to a more normal weight.
I figure that I might as well become used to being bald now since it is inevitable for me. It has become somewhat of a cliche on here, but I plan on being more active, getting a tan (if i can), make my body look better and buy some clothes that I feel make me look good. There are a lot of ways to make yourself look good and I will do those that do not require hair. Concentrating so much on my hair has in many ways caused me to overlook my body, my style, and my attitude. It is time to change all of that.
Life is not be wasted and I feel like I waste alot of time thinking about my hair and wondering if people are staring at it. I have been interested in buying a mountain bike and going out riding on the weekends but have not done so because I worry how my hair will look all sweaty after a ride. I live in southern california and have not been to the beach because I worry what my hair might look like after swimming. I basically am not enjoying myself based upon hair. Since there will probably never be a time where I have enough hair to feel comfortable with it, I am going to make the choice to enjoy my 20's hair or no hair.
I can either be a balding,pale , depressed, fat ***, who is afraid to go out, eating like crap, and not excercising...OR...I can have a shaved head, go out and get some sun, excercise, eat right, dress well, look good and FEEL Good , and be confident that who I am is good enough despite not having hair...for some reason I feel that option 2 will have a better result for me in the end....
who's with me???
