I Feel I Have Been Robbed Of My Humanity...

Thanks very much for the warm welcome! I've lurked here for a while and found this place to be much more understanding of the mental effects of hair loss than other forums.



Thanks for the welcome! And no need to grovel - just a hairless guy trying to cope with his dilemma just like all of you

That girl's story looks interesting and I can relate to a lot of what she says. She may have moved on to alopeciaworld.com or heralopecia, which is more suited for women with hair loss. I may have even spoken to her while I was on those forums without knowing it!



Thanks for the advice! I've been looking at full caps and deciding whether to get one or not. I guess it depends on whether I can keep up the maintenance or not (and not get busted for wearing one).

I have been looking at fake eyebrows too and might give them a go too.

Absolutely no one would mock a person with alopecia for wearing anything. At the very least use eye brows.

Beloved Doctor,
as I've iterated before, your astute powers of perception/intuition , self awareness, and moreover your genuine interest in the goodness of humanity may be unparalleled here at HairLossTalk.com.
In the future, you have my consent to speak more liberally on my behalf, whenever you deem it appropriate.

Thanks for the kind words, I.D. I love you too! You and Zircon are the masters of articulation. You need to step up your game because your post numbers have been low lately.

I'm considering seeing a therapist myself, specifically for my obsession with my hair loss, since I have no one to talk about it with in real life.

I'm concerned that they won't relate, or that I'll walk in and it'll be some dude balder than me, and it'll be awkward.

This is a very legitimate concern. It happened to me once; I walked in and the therapist was about 29/30 years old and in NW5 territory.
I was like, "Well, now I'm fucked!"

I think I'd just tell him, "sorry, this was a mistake," and leave immediately lol

I might try to see a female to minimize the risk of this scenerio

Have you ever thought of taking immunomodulatory compounds to treat it?

I asked my dermatologist if I can take corticosteroid injections / other drugs for the hair loss, but they declined because they were doubtful it would have any effect due to the advanced nature of my condition.

I'm seeing another dermatologist in the coming months to see if I can get a second opinion / other treatments.

I been looking at JAK inhibitors and I think they are the key to curing this disease. Hopefully they will become more accessible and affordable in the near future.

I think even if they say they don't like you, deep down inside they do. Its just how love-hate works. You are not an imposter. You have definitely proven to be a genuine person in my eyes. I am glad you and Joan are here. Right, ID?

Thank you
