Understandable, but I worked my *** off to become "good-looking". I felt so inferior when I had to lose so much weight in my early 20s when basically everybody at this age is doing nothing but eating junk food, playing video games and getting laid while staying skinny at the same time. Now imagine how I must have felt, when hair loss set in literally a few weeks after I finished my diet.....

So how would you call losing a lot of weight?

Then I should get few. Finally, something positive about being depressed!
Also I can't crease my forehead if I tried for some reason (no botox). No wrinkles here! I know a girl who is one year older than me and she literally has the wrinkles of a 45 year old.
Well, that´s just some broscience I came up with
. Depression ages you very fast when it occurs, but in the long run (I am talking about decades!!)it seems to cause few wrinkles. Of course, it also depends on your genetics.For me, living with hair loss is a day to day struggle. Oftentimes, I just scrap, claw, and fight to make it through the day. I get emotional more easily, I've become more needy, and my anxiety has skyrocketed. Working out does help my moods though. I really do believe that exercise does release endorphins that make you feel better. When I am in the gym, I do indeed feel better, and since I rarely get complimented on my looks anymore, at least getting complimented on muscles helps to sustain me. My previous gym was about 20 minutes away from my apartment and closed all the time. I recently joined a gym that is like 3 minutes away and has the most flexible hours, so it makes it harder for me to cheat and skip a workout. And when I get depressed (which is often), cheating is the easiest thing to do. Unfortunately though, the "high" from working out is temporary (since I am not in the gym all day), especially when I get constant reminders in day-to-day life of how much better my life would be if I wasn't suffering from hair loss.

Sad, very sad. I'm sorry baldness has done this to you...
I, too, think depression is making me even uglier, and I didn't think it was even possibvle at this point. It never rains, it pours.
Absolutly, depression makes you ugly. Part of the reason why I "became" good-looking in my 30s was, because I suddenly wasn´t depressed anymore. Depression is stress for yourself and stress makes you ugly, a bit like when you have only slept 3 hours at night.

Dante, my sympathies go out to you man. Nobody should have to endure the depression that goes along with hair loss. I feel bad for you whenever you post those green creature photos.
