What Was Your Life Like Before Hair Loss?

[sunchyme1]

plus alcoholism is in the blood, my dad used to pick me up when I was a kid and I've have stella in my lap open for when he was ready to sip and more in the foot well in the car.... as earlier as 10 I remember that.... my grandad got done for drinking driving and said his name was Mickey Mouse. being 25 also helps....

I wish i could of been raised by a normal non balding family

how it going on finasteride? any sides?

I've had sides since I was born so who knows...It seems to being good so far but I was on 8 months and went to visit my Dad in Spain for 16 days and couldn't get it and it's definitely lost density but I needed the mental break and I'm guessing It will come back. just need a fue or 2 now

6 ciders deep one rum coke and just cracked open a budweiser, The nights only just started. Having this last sesh then full gymcel mode, I'm about month deep with gym but gonna go sober mode all winter.

We're in the same boat then, I had several drinks this evening before coming home, now drinking vodka alone, not something I normally do (but when I do, I'm for sure logging on this forum) but tomorrow night I'm drinking again and apart from a few events I have to attend and drink socially, I'm sobering up and committing to the gym until Christmas.

Good luck with pure sober mode for 3 or so months, I was incredibly committed when I started gymcelling this time last year, and made it about 6 weeks I think. But I did stick to cutting down my drinking.

My advice is, if you can stick to it, then fantastic, but don't build up this idea in your head that your idealised 100% sober and in control logic is everything. Because it's not, if you wreck the run of sobriety for a night then it's not a big deal. It's not a big deal physically, it shouldn't be a big deal mentally.

I came back from a holiday about a month ago and before my holiday I had set up in my head "go nuts, drink, drugs, eat 4 gallons of fried food daily, whatever, let loose, then as soon as you're back from that flight and your feet touch the ground, it's hardcore beast mode".

But when my feet touched the ground, I met friends, drank, which should be no big deal, but because I set up this militant regime in my head and this disciplined warrior I'll be- when I didn't live up to that and caved easily at the first chance, I felt like a joke. Not to anyone else, nobody really knew or cared what I intended with an extreme fitness program when I got back, but I felt foolish, and this lead to 4 weeks of barely training at all. I set my expectations too concretely, and couldn't live up to them, and if I hadn't had set such ideal standards for myself, it wouldn't have been such a self-appointed walk of shame to get back in the gym.

So I've learned not to make it an all-or-nothing scenario. I'm back in the gym this week and sore, but after initially wanting to puke the first few workouts, I feel great now.

But lesson learned, I had it scheduled that next week I was supposed to try this ridiculously hard circuit training workout with a lot of HIIT, and I realised that this is too optimistic. Instead I am getting into another workout program, not as high intensity, to warm me up, and if I feel ready then I'll hit it the hard sh*t the week after, but then the week after that is a definite.

Good luck! But don't let a bad day from what you were planning f*** it up for you.

f*** it I know who and what I am, It isn't a strict thing but I'm addict whether thats drink or drugs or gaming and I'm already getting addicted to the gym even though I actually kinda dislike the work out part (but as a sicko but I do like the pain ) so I'm do It proper but I'm still gonna live just not binge 3 days week and currys cake pizzas all week.

@Rudiger Is the voddie taking to you to good place so far? also what do you think of Antonio Rüdiger ?

When I committed myself to being sober and drug free for 3 months, I was definitely no candidate to do it. And I lasted half that amount of that time before drinking again, and didn't drink much after that, and then didn't take drugs for the full 3 months until I tried them again.

So as I say, I was probably the worst example of someone who could do such a thing, and I pretty much did it. So I fully believe you can go the whole run drink-free, and get addicted to working out.

Though I have to wonder about disliking the work out part? To me that's the fun part, and even when I started. I loved the freedom of working out, doing what I wanted to do. For most people the other 15 hours a day (minus sleeping) of not eating crap food or drinking is the problem, working out is supposed to be the greatest part of it.

Do you get bored? Do you not enjoy the rush of finishing a set?

I'm being presumptuous here but a friend of mine who started about 6 months ago hated the working out part, and I noticed he was so bored between sets etc.

I always have headphones on, usually podcasts, sometimes music, but the point being, do you actively attempt some form of stimulation while working out? That's really important for most people.

I've been using a trainer so far and I think that's part of the problem because last night I worked out alone and enjoyed It more and could breath better, I think because I like the pt on a personal level and having been depressed and on a ldar mode it's almost like hanging out with a friend so I can't get fully in to it but I have 1 session left then I go solo

I guess it is taking me to a good place so far, I got home and watched the rest of the Jordan B Peterson on Joe Rogan podcast, I'm in love with the idea that a centrist future is a possibility. Because people like Peterson and Sam Harris are capturing people's imaginations, that the left and right is dominated by media. This will take a lot of time and a lot of social transition, but these guys do not realise the building blocks they are creating.

And Rudiger can f*** off because he wasn't famous before I changed to this name (at least not to me). Very talented player though.

The new one with Bret Weinstein ? I was hour in then got caught up in house music

That's the one. Bret was great too, I saw what happened to him but didn't realise he was podcasting about it (is this his first?).

I'm stuck on the era of Minimal Techno, although it's done, there's still some off-cuts that are available.

His second on Rogan. Joe deserves major respect also a guy that get's respect from intellectual heavyweights and can talk about farts for 20 minutes straight with joey diaz and talking about f*****g animals with his day 1 greg fitzsimmons, to remain humble with his bald fut scared head(good shape tho lucky bastard )at 1.2 billion d/l a year is inspiring.

[Baldingat188]

As good as the internet is for are balding struggle, having a "safe place", how many of you as I do regret wasting your young teenage years on the internet, gaming and fapping and things of that nature ?

Internet and gaming was the only escape growing up . I had so much anxiety I couldn't even talk to people hardly. Now that I beat my anxiety I'm afraid hairloss will put me back right where I was 3-4 years ago

 

[bilboswaggins]

That 3-4 months just before I discovered hairloss was the best part of my life. Just started uni and didn't have a care in the world

 

[sisenegonan]

Well I balded after 14 so didnt really have much of a life. I was aparently a good speaker, however till 9th grade I was with the same folks, we grew like a big happy family together.

The first start was 10th grade when people found it odd why I have so much body hair. Then in the same year I went from a nw1 to nw3 which quickly became everyone's attention. Thats when I earned the nickname uncle. Then I went into diffuse thinning mode last two years, my nickname was upgraded to papa.

When I went to college I got teased with the 'I thought you're the father of two children' joke. However people never really went beyond baldie, in terms of name calling.

So yep, baldness has been my life ever since I can remember. I was harassed in my first job to marry quickly for some odd reason. That changed in my new job where nobody gave any fucks. Only one guy used to think there is some cure, I'm not doing anything and my future wiife will suffer because of it (wtf???).
