Well it's 2018 now and my hairloss is still getting worse. I think it's almost been a year since I had my last mental breakdown and I think the only reason I've not had one sooner is because I'm on treatments at the moment but they're also part of my misery now. I've been on finasteride for nearly 5 months at 0.5mg and the only thing I've got from it so far is watery semen and weak erections (i'm still losing hair even after all this) and the only other treatment I'm on is minoxidil which pretty much does nothing for me.
I think the only thing that's kept me composed so far is that ''I'm doing something about it'', apart from that it's still distressing when I shed hairs in the shower. I should be on SSRI's right now but I'm on finasteride so I don't want to risk the intensity of side effects. It's a sh*t situation, at least depressed people that don't have hairloss can still try an ssri, but I can't bring myself to even do that, as i'd have to get off finasteride and lose all my hair which would make me more depressed in the long run. I've arranged for a therapist but I'm on the waiting list right now.
To add to all this I've got exams in a week and a half. I don't know what to do for my hairloss I'm at a dead end, it feels like I've exhausted all my options. The only thing I can hope for is shesido to come out this year, I think that's my last option but for the mean time I'm mentally incapable of tolerating this any further.
