I'm not feeling down, I was making a joke
I have mood swings and at the moment I feel great. I think I am finally coming to terms with being bald actually. No one else I know has ever really cared and I look ok as bald men go (obviously nowhere not as good as with hair but not terrible at all), albeit older and less virile.
For me the main issue has always been simply a loss of identity, just looking completely different than I did with hair. It freaked me out and made me have an identity crisis and also a kind of early mid life crisis. I am finally getting used to seeing the bald me in the mirror and am becoming relaxed again. I'm still depressed a lot (about the futility of life in general, baldness was a catalyst for this and I'm stuck with it) but it isn't constant anymore.
This forum is great for just talking about anything, the kind of things you can't say offline (without risking consequences). Real conversations. Even if baldness is cured in the near future I'll be glad I've "met" all of you and had these conversations.
I had to put that sig in because people were complaining my posts were depressing them until a few months ago.
