I Need Some Adivice Please! Going Through Depression

[katalan33]

I have never had depression in my life.
I consider myself as always outgoing and positive person. But since I realized all of my hair on top of my head diffusing and shed I got into serious depression.
I avoid to meet my friends, always making excuses. I only told my balding to my two best friends and thats it. I have hair all over but under strong sunlight or bright light you can see through. But the problem is for me its just too horrible to see my scalp. (After shower my hair looks like sh*t).

I have been into the treatment (big3)for 70 days now and now I dont see any noticeble improvement. I know i need to wait at least 6 month to see if its working but now I feel paranoid of my hairloss. Taking 4-5 pictures of my head every day.

I want to get over this situation. I am just 25 and studying for law school. But now I can't study, dont wanna go out, life is freaking miserable.

What should I do my friends?
Should I work out regularly?
Should I Just shut up and take meds?
I really want to get over this.
Give me some positive energy

I am not a propecia use but I read a lot about it. It seems to be the most efficient ingredient in keeping hair loss at bay. It foes seek to come with risks, especially for some people. Since you've already started this road, you should probably continue it unless you have side effects. Working out is good no matter what.

Stop obsessing over your hair for now. It won't help you. Might actually do more harm.

Wait 6-8 months and then assess. In the mean time cut it short (or even shave it). This way you may be able to not obsess and will be able to keel better track of the progress. Good luck!

I feel you man, I’m exactly the same. I don’t know where you’re from and if that’s the ‘socially acceptable’ thing to do, but I just wear caps a lot. I can’t be asked to do my hair everyday due to the tons of shedding and it keeps me from worrying about my hair all the time. I still go to college so I can easily get away with wearing caps. I just wear my baseball caps backwards most of the time, kinda fits my style. I’m diffusing as well so sometimes when I’m just chilling, going to family gatherings or work I don’t wear them and for now since I’m diffusing I don’t think anyone would notice except for the Norwood spotters among us (Of course I don’t wear them at home or anything, just when going out I do that very often)

I know this is kind of sh*t advice, but it works for me and keeps me from stressing out about my hair throughout the day. So might be helpful to you as well while you’re waiting for the treatments to kick in!

Also working out and gaming keep me from stressing out and just keep my head clear. Though it doesnt necessarily have to be working out, just do whatever you feel comfortable with to keep your mind off things! Although working out and gaining some muscle might be good for your confidence so not a bad thing to do!
