I am uglier than you, especially when I shave my head, which I've done for years. It is not easy, it is not pretty, but hair loss is not as bad as you are making it out to be. You are not doomed to be ugly/disfigured if you're bald, but you will need to alter other aspects of your appearance, it is a big deal.
Additionally, why not let the meds do their job and get a transplant when the time comes? Many people here fight hair loss effectively. Follow their lead, do what you can, and stop torturing yourself. I am not trying to sugarcoat anything for you.
I am hoping the meds do their job but I do not have much faith because hair loss is so aggressive in my genetics. So far I have been on finasteride for 8 month with no improvement ( I believe it is getting slightly worse) but hard to tell. I am thinking of switching to duta because I don't want to take any chances. Sure the side affects suck, but it beats killing myself. I would love to do a transplant but I am mostly a diffuse thinner, and my hair loss is not advanced enough for a transplant yet
