My Hair Loss Rant.. Just Another Rant

[MrBald]

I don't know how much longer I have the strength for living this life.

My first signs of hair loss was when I was 14 years old. So I lost most of my hair early in life, in a diffuse thinning way. I am 32 now and a full blown nw6. I thought it would become easier with time to cope with this, but its the other way for me, I just become more and more bitter.

The last years I have more or less given up. I haven't been able to work because of the depression, social phobia and anxiety this is creating. My biggest interest is music, but I am also beginning to give up that now, because I have come to the point where I don't even want to be seen on a video or on a stage. I saw myself on video the other day and its so disgusting to see what this hair loss has done to my appearance. I totally lose all motivation.

I have a girlfriend though, I guess thats my only big light I got in my life thats keeping me going up from bed. I don't want to meet other people nowadays. I feel like a walking dead. I don't want to commit suicide though because I believe in hinduism and buddhism, so I think I can't escape my misery that easy. If I commit suicide I will suffer even more in the next life. The other reason I don't want to commit suicide is because I don't want to do that to my girlfriend and my brother, I know they would suffer very much.

So the question is, what shall one do when one don't want to live no more?? This life is mostly suffering for me. It would have been better for everybody if I just died when I was younger.

Hello man. You're just another victim of the virtue signalling cope train.

To all the young lower Norwoods lurkers reading: act now and get on treatment, and save for a transplant.

It won't become easier, it won't be better, at least until you're 60 or something.
There's no such thing as acceptance: only bitterness stemmed from defeat.
All those who say to shave it and embrace it are either oblivious virtue signalling women or naive fullheads.

Once you hit NW4-5 it's over, so get on treatment and try to slow the process!
Give your identity a chance!

Look at OP, poor bloke, I feel him. No one told him what was the best way to address the problem.
He chose to not act, now look at him, 32 and grieving because of his hideous appearance in the entertainment industry, when fullheads at 32 are out there making money just because they look good while singing and playing the guitar!!

Act now. Finasteride can't be advertised because law prevents making ads for many prescription medicines. This poor bloke will advertise it for you.

Man, I will be frank with you. At NW6 there's really not much to do as treatment unless you go the MtF route and start the nuclear hormone treatment with power antiandrogens.
This will give you a big chance of sides.
It's your decision.

Consult a hair transplant surgeon and ask if anything can be done surgically. Have no expectations.

I will be here for you together with the other members of the forum.
You're among friends. We understand.

Exactly!!!!.. I tell you one thing you younger guys thats losing your hair. Dont pick the entertainment industry as a carrier.. You will be devastated.

 

[MrBald]

One more thing. No one gives a sh*t about you hair loss. You family and friends/girlsfriend they might go "Ah I feel sorry you feel that way", or "come on, its just hair, its normal for men blah blah", or "..but you look good even though you have lost your hair, it suits you!!" ... But no one will do a sh*t to actually practically help you solve the problem, with for example money. No one will raise a f*****g finger.

 

[MrBald]

Instead of being realistic and save for a transplant in my early twenties, I "escaped" reality by playing the guitar and wearing a cap. Instead of saving my money for treatment, i bought a guitar every time I had some money. Don't do that, it will catch you big time later.

A carrier? A driver, you mean? Or a drug carrier?

Career.

How's your donor hair? You should visit a hair transplant surgeon. if you settle for a higher hairline and be prepared to use body hair they should be able to give you a much better head of hair than you currently have.

Do you have much savings? If not you should travel to Turkey and consult a lot of the doctors there. Have a game plan and while your there have your first transplant.

You will probably need 3 or maybe 4 transplants so it will probably take a few years to attain a reasonable density from Norwood 6.But if you can stick with this plan you will end up happy with your hair and a new life begins for you.

I was in your exact same position and managed some good results.There is hope don't give up man.Make it your mission to recover your life and start living again.

The sentiment of this post needs to be on billboards and the sides of double decker buses everywhere.

But seriously though I used to find the whole slybald "just shave it breh" movement hilarious and fun to parody, but now it just f*****g boils my blood. It's gone from laughable to full blown hatred. Those f*****g guys happy to ruin other men's lives because they were too ignorant and lazy themselves to think of treatment's, now they want to cope and pretend you actually look BETTER like this??! Sickening.

It hurts more when every other day you read a suicidal thread like this one from OP, and you know that in their shoes you could feel exactly the same. You want to find an answer to dealing with it yourself as not only do you empathise but this could soon be your reality, and there is no answer to dealing with young baldness, the only true answer is to keep it.

Apart from that if you're truly fucked, treatments didn't do sh*t, hair transplant (or even hair transplants) were a disaster and butchered your donor, and now you've resigned yourself to this fate, then stop coming on here really. We all know the truth and will only make it worse.

Of course you'll always know that truth too but at least we won't compound the misery, give up on here and pray for Tsuji.

But anyway back to OP, reading stuff like this is like being in the trenches with fallen soldiers, and then slybald movement is like the media glamorising it and poking fun.

You don't know what I've seen, you don't know what I see every day, and how it affects people.
