You know sometimes my self esteen goes back and forth according to the days too. Some days I feel as though I'm on top of the world and don't even realize that I have a receding hairline and then other days I see myself as this hideous beast that is just getting uglier and uglier everyday. I'm realizing that I'm having the bad days more and more often now. I know I'm still new to my treatment, I've onlybeen on Propecia for 2 weeks now, but feels like my hair is never gonna stop falling out. I've been shedding months before I started taking Propecia and I know it's stupid to think that Propecia would stop it this soon, I'm just depressed. Anyways, is anyone else starting to have more and more bad days? My good days are getting fewer and fewer inbetween now.

Consider this: Most celebrity or debutante men have a "mature hairline" if they are over 25. By mature hairline, think NW2-3 receding hairline. I can rap off several who are noticeably receding. The only exceptions are Tom Cruise and maybe some of the younger actors.

Many a cute girl I knew in college in the 90s (albeit literary and artsy types)
got their panties wet over Julian Sands and he has a very noticeable widows peak/forlock recession.


The journey into baldness sucks but hopefully we can have faith and perseverance and travel back from it to some degree.

I learned my hairloss lessons through stupidity and negligence. minoxidil was working for me but I wasn't consistent. Don't drop the treatments. The Hair Transplant results posted here are amazing. I want to take a second job (keep busy) and save up for a hair transplant. I may get several in small does
(1500 grafts).

Women -You have plenty of time. Women will date an older male who is fun, responsible and has something going for him. Older women have a tougher time. I'm dating a little older now, but up until I was 2004 at 34, I was still dating 21 year olds. You can still get a piece of that pie later on if you take care of yourself and turn out to be a younger, fitter looking 30 something. Body and facial/skin accounts for a lot too!

My life is really screwed up currently.
Weekends I just sit at home...reading hairloss forums..Its bright and sunny outside but I will just sit at home...I wanna go out and find a good lookin women and spend time with my friends..but I wont do that..I just sit hear and read and ready, How can I stop my hairloss. My head feels so heavy with all the stress due to hairloss.

Weekdays, I get up thinking I will not think about hairloss today and concentrate and work, but then I take a shower and see a whole lot of hair everywhere..and thats it..my whole day is screwed up...My work is getting badly affected.

I feel so helpless...I dont know what to do

I know how you feel. Sometimes I feel nothing can harm me, other times I want life to end.

I'm still kind of pissed off why we haven't found a cure in 2000. That's when my hair loss started! But hey, that's life. Funny thing is if time travel comes and a cure comes, I'm going to go back and give myself the cure. But alas, only in a dream world...

Hey guys,

I thought I'd chime in.

You've all read my legendary rants...

Anyway, I just thought I'd add that things are really getting a lot better with me.

I no longer pursue a self-destructive path because of my hairloss or personal issues. Instead, I'm learning to cope with my life.

One day, I just said f*** it. I'll let my hair shed all it wants. It's controlling me too much. I eventually had enough of the hairloss forums, and, although I frequent this forum for about an hour a day, I'm not as obsessed as I used to be.

My hair and crown look so much better than they did many months ago.

The hairline and temples are shedding and possibly receding, but f*** it. The top and crown look better, and that's all my expectations were... to keep those two.

Really, I've nearly off-ed myself a number of times, as many of you have read, but with patience, things eventually got better.

Sure, I'm not 100% happy, but who is?

I'm happy with myself.

I recently bought a new puppy for my girlfriend.

I also got accepted into the college of my dreams.

I'm still taking anti-depressants, but my anxiety level is MUCH lower than what it was.

I owe it to a lot of you guys.



You need to keep your chins up. There will be a cure for some of us, even if it's just psychological.

As bad as things might seem right now, they really aren't. They just aren't that bad.

I feel there is a greater power out there, and if you pray hard enough, and will it, then good things will come your way.

Goodluck everybody,

I promise you all that are suffering, it will get better.

terrible , terrible thing, baldness.

makes you want to cry, die and smash every flippin' thing you can get your hands on sometimes.

very, very underestimated as a cause of depression in young men....huh unless you happen to be a young man going norwood south....then you know only too well.

clearly everybody on this site needs some help, either anti deps or counselling...it's just so flamin' hard to deal with.

but then anything over which we have no control can be a source of frustration and send us on a journey of despair.

lord, give me the strength to accept what i cannot change, the courage to change what i can.....and the wisdom to know the difference.

amen

Bad days are all I've been having since I noticed that I'm balding. That was 2 months ago.

to the original poster

To the author of this thread:

I looked at your myspace pics, and you do not look like you are balding. You would probably think my hair is really bad if you are worried about yours. You are catching it early, so don't worry if propecia takes 6 months to kick in.

Though you did have your hair combed forwards, so I don't know how much futher back it goes. My transplants make me happy enough to keep my hair short and not do any comb overs, but they still are pretty thin -- only 30 follicular units per cm2 compared to the average which is 90.
