Anyone drug themselves with TV?

[CaptainForehead]

I have a problem when I will binge on a TV series'...I like to escape to a fantasy world where I am handsome, and have a life which I do not hate. Usually these "episodes" last for a week where I shun all contact with the real world.

Not really since I don't watch TV or movies, I like to day dream and use my imagination which I do a lot like when going to sleep.

 

[bald29]

I do the same thing, but with movies usually, although I do it with some series. I don't binge though, maybe watch around 2-3 hours a day on average of movies+TV. You could say I consume responsibly

Since I became bald, I have watched a lot of romantic movies, something that I had never done before, at least not by myself. I like trying to imagine I'm part of it. I usually like love stories that involve people my age (late 20s), who are working on a relationship while they struggle with life and their careers, since I can feel more identified with the characters --with the exception of their perfect hairlines and relationships, but I can just daydream about that.

I'm currently watching the Soprano's for the first time.

Angry depressed balding mafia boss who will not hesitate to crush the skulls of people who do him wrong, I like it.

Hopefully your hair transplant works for the best... We don't want to hear about a new wave of organized crime originating from Belgium

Bald Mafia? I'm in!

 

[slipy]

i've done the same except in my case i'd immerse in video game world, pretending to be one of the characters and living indirectly through them.

that's as much of happiness as i've had in recent years. That and drinking and taking drugs. Escapism is all i have.

Breaking bad?

I am currently (re)watching Smallville. Tom Welling - what a god. Those cheekbones, height, hair, deepish voice.

 

[uncomfortable man]

Why watch TV as a means to escape my reality when it is so quick to remind me of how much of a looser I am because I'm bald and everything I'm missing out on because of it? Why? I play FPS shooters online, that way I can still be bald and kill other people who aren't bald.

 

[uncomfortable man]

Sluthate yeah!!

 

[VeprSuper]

No tv for me. We haven't had the cable hooked up in over three years. Read alot, though.

You and me, the same, CaptainForehead. I like your nickname by the way! I should've made mine "MsFivehead" ...
I do what you are saying EVERY SINGLE DAY ALL DAY.
I try to make my hair look half decent with a bucket of Toppik and some carefully calculated styling, then pretend like I still have a full head.
I will slip into this fantasy world where I am once again a beautiful, young female with a full head of hair,
and pretend I am still with my ex which I still love, still doing my education, still having a job, still going out of the house, still dressing up etc.
I even catch myself smiling sometimes because I get so deep into my own fantasy I almost belive it.
But then reality snaps in and I am back in my miserable life, stuck in this genetic trainwreck which is my stupid body.
I mean if I could have any problem besides this, I would! Except for blindness, wheelchair or 3rd degree burn.
I would trade anything for a full head basically, even my family (!!!Don't shoot me for this!!!).
Call me vain, call me pathetic, call me egoistic, call me evil or whatever you want.
All I know is that I'm 22 years old and my life is already over. All I can do is sit by and watch other people's bliss or pretending I have my own...
BALDNESS SUCKS MORE THAN ANYTHING.

Ms EvilLocks,

My sincere advice to you: GET A WIG!!!
Hairloss is not nice wig or no wig, but with regards to attracting the opposite gender, you have the option of wearing wigs.
I don't understand why you have not gone that route. Forget Toppik and related crap. Shave your head, and wear wigs openly.

You were complaining in an earlier post that men have high standards. As a dude who likes pretty girls, I am telling you, I would not mind a bald girl who wears a wig.

These are the best years of your life. Keep in shape, wear a wig, and enjoy life.

You WILL lose a few of your female friends though.

I usually just sit in my room and rot when I get off work. Sadly I work as a cashier so I have to deal with people for 8 hours a day/5 days a week and I get a few balding related comments per day regularly. Sometimes I'll get none but at other times I may get three or four, it depends on the customers.

Most of the people mention how I look "old/mature for my age" yet my skin looks okay as does my complexion (for whatever reason, I have no idea how) so it's obvious as to what they are referring to.

Thankfully a liquor store is just across the street from my job and is open late so I can pick up a few 40's after work and drink until I pass out while hibernating in my free time. I honestly haven't even seen a single friend of mine in the last 8 months I'm guessing nor do I want to. I don't even own a phone anymore.

So yeah, I'm hiding and drugging myself with whatever I can get a hold of that let's me escape this terrible life. I've had severe anxiety attacks after working and have drank so much alcohol on such occasions that I'm surprised that I even wake up and wouldn't even care if I didn't as I have nothing to live for and nothing will ever improve nor get worse if the last decade is any indication. I'm still making the same money I was earning as a teenager (if not less) and I haven't been on any dates and have no money in savings nor any debt.

So the only thing keeping me from drugging myself and tying a weight to my leg then jumping/falling into a lake is the technology that keeps my brain occupied most of the time.

You need to see someone... Alcohol will ruin your life faster than you think.

 

[gravesen]

How can you do that since most of tv is just bald-guys bashing ?

Real drugs, video games, that i'll understand.

But escaping into mainstream tv (i'd understand if you're talking about some polanski movies) is weird, that's like suffering from eating disorders and escaping into Mcdonalds.

I would never trade anyone(even a person that i dont even know) for a full head of hair.

Unfortunately there are worse genetic diseases than baldness. Story of John Kennedy (Do not watch if you are sensitive). A cure ? No, as always.

By the way, world total military expenditure is 1.7 trillion $, and 2-3 clinics try to find a solution to humanity's baldness problem spending only few million dollars. The worst thing is %90 of these military weapons are totally useless in an asymmetric warfare and will be thrown away in a few years. It seems like we will have to live in our fantasy worlds for a very long time. I'd rather trust Steve Wilkos about baldness than modern medicine.

 

[Muzzle]

Name one genetic disease that is worse AND as common as baldness.

In my opinion a person should feel worse if he/she has a rare genetic disease that destroys his/her both mental and physical health

If your disease is common(and only destroys your mental health), what is the problem ?

 

[Muzzle]

The more common, the more it's seen as a joke.

You're more likely to get the comment: "You think you're the only one? Man up!"

It's seen as a joke because baldness does not affect your physical health and people simply do not care about other people's mental problems.

Imagine if you had a traffic accident and you have to spend your life in a wheelchair(or something like losing one of your arm), this time people will say : "Don't give up fighting, life is still beautiful etc.."

Which i think sounds worse.

Either way, its like a lottery there are worse things than baldness(doesnt have to be genetic problems),this is my opinion though.

 

[Muzzle]

I'm tired of repeating myself over and over again.

I'll just state what I know to be the truth without explanations:

1) People don't care about other people, ever, period.
2) Being bald is worse than being in a wheelchair or losing a limb.
3) There is nothing worse in life than baldness at a young age.

I'd like to add that these are not my opinion, but the absolute truth.

Relax champion, whatever you say
