I've Started Supplements. Not For Hair Loss, For Anxiety

[buckthorn]

I don't know what part of this is hardest for you, physically losing your hair, or the intense anxiety caused by it. Obviously one causes the other, but for me, the anxiety was overwhelming, and most of it was unnecessary. My mind would be consumed every minute of every day with every aspect of this f*cking crap.

Anyways, I started a relatively potent, natural anti anxiety supplement a few weeks ago. No placebo, my mind is way too f*cked up to be persuaded by sugar pills. It does help. I care just a little bit less and my focus can be redirected to other things a little bit easier. Yo b**ch, it's science.

I am writing this in an attempt to possibly help. This sh*t is f*cking terrible and no one should ever have to experience it. Do what you can to alleviate SOME of the horrendous stress it causes. Even if you have to take klonapen or other mind altering crap. If you're living in hell, please survive.

Hmm. What are you taking?

The things I found helpful are:
-valerian root
-kava kava
-taurine
-phenibut
-pregnenolone

Although none are entirely as effective as I'd like.

I also used clonidine which lowers adrenaline in the body. It made me almost like a Terminator walking around where I didn't care about what I did or said, but it also completely sapped any and all motivation and will to do anything. That was the first time I understood how depressed people feel like.

P.S. My anxiety issues are unrelated to hair loss as I've been dealing with low grade anxiety even as NW1. Hair loss just made it that bit worse.

For me I have to take prescription medication for my anxiety. Mine wasn't caused by hair loss though, but cannabis abuse (no longer take it). I take EFEXOR-XR 150mg for the anxiety and panic attack. I also take Olanzapoine 5mg for my racing negative thoughts and to prevent schizophrenia . Now Im happy but I have to keep taking the medication. The olanzapine makes me put weight on so I have to exercise every day and do karate 1-2 times a week

I think if your anxiety is really bad then get a doctor to prescribe you medication. I was worried about getting prescription medication but if just got worse and worse to the point I didn't care anymore, so I went to see a doctor

Honestly, try giving yourself a 14-day moratorium from message boards and social media.

I did, I went camping for two weeks. It doesn't help. The top of my head looks disfigured and this is a hair loss forum, so.. it's the only place I can find a bit of solace.

Buckthorn, I totally know what you're saying. I had mild anxiety issues previously, but when hair loss started, I started getting terrible anxiety attacks. Heart flutters, knees get weak, mind gets anxious, and you feel like a giant weight is driving you into the ground. It is no joke.

I've tried some kind of moratorium and done other things to try to take my mind off of hair loss. Stuff like weightlifting or jogging. And I do feel good, but that feeling is only temporary. Then it's back to the same old hair loss worries.

I know. Occasionally, I will get invited to go to large gatherings and just the thought of it makes me sick. I used to love it. I don't understand how it wouldn't make ANY ONE in my position cringe. Imagine having what looks like a burnt pile of thin hay on your head instead of the thick black hair people have known you for for years. Then, of course, every f*cking place has to have beaming f*cking head lights hanging from the f*cking ceiling to show off every flaw a person has. It looks sickly. It's f*cking terrible.

I am not sure if you run but I will really recommend it. I went through a really hard time in the past, worse than hair loss. In fact, all my anxiety about hair loss disappeared because I was facing something worse. I started running about half an hour 4-5 days a week and would walk for another half an hour after jogging. It does help. The effect is not permanent but you do feel better and think more clearly for the amount of time you run and walk at least. I will also recommend weight training. Exercise along with your supplements should help you feel better.

At least doping yourself up with Clonazepam you get some relief from this living hell.

I've had a drug problem in the past before hair loss.

But I can tell you i'd love to start taking as much pills as I can again to numb myself from the emotional pain.

I am not proud to admit it, but hair loss has led me to somewhat hardcore substance abuse. And before hair loss, all I had was basically Budweiser and weed once in a blue moon. Regarding your last sentence, I've been doing that a lot lately. Matter of fact, I just did so today to numb myself during the entire day. That is why I am typing this post at 3:45 AM. The sunshine really depresses me now.

After committing a cardinal sin at my work (I said f*** you to a customer). I realized I had to do something to curb my very much warranted anger, anxiety and depression. I'm suprised I wasnt fired, honestley. So Im taking measures to make sure that doesnt happen again. Taking Zoloft now, 100 mg. Its helping take the edge off, but I told my psychiatrist that medication and behavioral cognitave therapy are no substitute for a full head of hjair and the social acceptance it would grant me.

Antidepressants and even cognitive therapy DO NOT work. All it does is try to help you accept it and deal with it.

How many hair loss sufferers want to accept it? None.

We want to fix this sh*t.

Fix this sh*t and we are happy with our lives again.

If my life was focused solely on my hair loss I woud have probably suicided by now. Things that make me feel better are going to the gym making gains, at least build yourself a solid physiue and a decent strength level. Buying nice casual clothes that compliment you can also boost your mood. Perhaps having some sort of skin regime for a clearer skin.

What I'm saying is I look doing things that I can improve and work on, even if they are vain. And if I'm losing my hair loss battle then at least do other vain things that improve your looks.

I've had anxiety issues my whole life. Nothing has really helped in terms of medication or even a healthy diet and running two to three times a week. But the one thing that has helped in the past is psilocybin. Magic mushrooms. I'm too much of a coward to take a full dose because it's not entirely safe if your not of a stable mind. But if you do your research and you micro dose it does help and it can be done safely.

Just recently there was some kind of study done that was heavily reported on in the media that showed that controlled doses of psilocybin in a safe environment can actually cure depression and anxiety and turn peoples life around. Of course, shroom users knew this already.

In honesty I haven’t done it in years but I'm about to make some major life changes. My hair loss is only been an issue this last 3 years but I'm already speeding along towards a NW4 and it's really kicking my *** so I'm tempted to go mushroom hunting again.
