What Do You Want/how Do You Define Success/a Good Life? How Does Hairloss Stop You Achieving It?

[Baldingat188]

really hard to answer the "goal in life" because Im still trying to figure that out. I think success/ good life is a very personal question. for me a good life would be to be able to support myself doing something I enjoy and living somewhere I want to be ( location is very important to me , I hate winter and big cities) . I really think that sounds cliche but thats about as simple as I can sum it up.

Hairloss makes me feel like nothing is worth it. It kills my self worth and confidence. Im still not at the point where I would be considered "bald" so I cant say for sure , but in general I just feel like once my hairloss progresses I will lose motivation for everything. I know if anything severe hairloss will make me even less willing to talk to other people then I am now. I feel like I am not doing a good job conveying why hairloss would stop me from reaching my goal , the answer is it kind of just ruins everything.

what is your norwood now?

I don't know to be honest , I am more worried about crown thinning though at this point . I feel as if I have always had a high hair line but I would guess Norwood 2? I don't keep my hair line exposed though .

Losing my hair, more and more each month, month after month, is like walking around feeling like you have to go to a funeral that day. Life is never the same. Yes, you get up and go to work, etc. But you still have to go to a funeral that day.
Happiness is perspective. Reality is if I could improve what I have by 20-30 percent, and KNOW it's never going to get worse, I could "adjust" mentally and do what I gotta do (conceal, drugs) and at least know that the slow death spiral is over.
