venting and ranting.. sorry, bad day.

[jeffsss]

damn...

havent ranted in a while.. but my hair is really taking a shitward spiral down..

just out of curiosity I decided to use gel in my hair..

looks like absolute total crap.. :sigh:

and to make matters worse.. i noticed that it's like NW5 pattern diffuse...

just when i though propecia was going to hlep..

 

[jeffsss]

uggg it's horrible.
my oily skin is becoming more and more noticable with my hair loss..
my scalp feels like it has been beaten and left to die..
i'm going to be one ugly bald dude.

You're going to look just fine, man.

Keep takin' that Propecia!

jeff you need to get a grip, man. you have to accept that your hair will never look the way it did before you started losing it. it might get marginally better with propecia but most likely it will not make a huge difference. be glad that you still have pretty good coverage and that it will be a long time before you are completely bald. get out and enjoy your life while you still have hair! stop counting hairs, stop looking in mirrors, and stop letting this control you. take propecia for another 6 months and then decide if it is working or not. but until then, relax. you are engaged right? you have a lot to be happy about. there are so many more important things to life other than hair. good luck.


also, if your scalp is in bad condition that could be the reason you are not seeing growth.

hey jeff,
i think that you should have buzzed your hair like brad pitt in mr and mrs smith. NOT to show the world you are losing hair and your proud, but to ease your mind and at the same time look stylish.

Shave it on a number 3 all around like pitt did...that look is cool..if not now, do it for the summer..you have enough hair on your head(i saw ur pics) to look like you do it for style and not because of a receding hairline or anything.

I think this would ease up your anxiety as well and it would be relieving to no longer see long hairs in the shower. It would give the meds sometime to work as well, and by the winter time, you could grow it back and see how the meds have worked for you.

You really should consider this option.

You could pull this off. Regardless of how awful your makin it seem, you still have a nice hairline.

Jay. thank you for taking the time to input your thoughts...

the only reason why i havent buzzed myhead yet is because of my head size and oily skin.

I'm not sure how I will look with extremely short hair because I've never done it before. who knows if my head is misshaped.

I can tell you this though.. My hair will not stick up like that with a number 3. I have very whispy hair, so if i cut it to a 3, it's going to lay flat.. which sucks..

meh.. hair loss sucks.. i looked like i've aged 10 years in 6 months..

I hate to add to the sadness of this post, but I feel the same as you Jeff, extremely depressed. This balding thing is not for the weak of heart. My scalp gets tender too man. Only, I use nothing. I have a clean slate. I guess I'm waiting on the cure, which isn't likely. My life is worse. No job, can't go to school, all because of hair loss. One day I'll be homeless... and still balding!!! It's all downhill. Who knows, maybe before my 30th birthday I'll buy myself a brand spanking new Smith and Wesson and put one in my scalp... or maybe not. Got 4 years to ponder that.

 

[Aplunk1]

What's a Smith and Wesson?

Why do you have only 4 years?

 

[ColtraneisGod]

a smith

thread necromancy should be a bannable offence

Its incredible to me how hairloss can bend over so many people who arent even remotely aware of lookism.

I think lookism still existed back then but it was different. Back then a shaved head was associated with thug / nazi and getting a job was considerably harder. Dating was still harder too but not like today because there was no online dating presence or social media presence in dating. Now balding has taken a shift. It is not stigmatized for employment (as much) but it is much worse for dating.

Thing is that the stuff that I read here could literally ve found on the so called "incel forums" that everybody likes to diss here. So at the end of the day you guys are not different tbh, that's something I already knew though lol.

I've been reading the posts you grave dig. It's amazing how nothing has changed. I think the only difference is less talk about side effects from propecia (generics probably were not available yet).

But reading about losing gf/wife/love over hair loss is so brutal. The one that hit me hard was the one post of the girlfriend saying their son would end up bald. It just validates my suspicion that women have their kids in mind when they choose a partner.
