Its so brutal. I cant recognize the guy i see in my old photos . Its like he is my long lost brother . Saddest part is that ,i used to be cute before, atleast that's what everyone used to say. So I took pride in my looks. And to lose those looks , damn !! It is shattering me inside ,it is all i ever think about 24/7 .
I wonder why no one has ever told me before how hard balding hits you mentally.
There were times when i thought of killing myself. How do I cope with it?
Im 24 currently and i'm thinking of getting hair transplant done . But i read so many threads saying that transplant at this age will have huge risk.
Any advice on how to deal with this will be appreciated great. This is me : imgur.com/a/crFErfd
It looks worse when i get out of shower. Currently im not on any medication. Should i start using finasteride or minoxidil?

Try balding when you’re 17. That’s brutal. Most people enjoy and develop experiences before their mid twenties. By their mid twenties, many have been in a serious relationship, others married. Try balding at 17 and go through having to “build” that foundation with a NW4 and above. THAT my friend is hell.

I just saw your picture. You’re not balding, you just have issues. Another one sigh :/

Hair piece, gym, computer games, weed, friends, more friends, trips, even living abroad for a while. That last part almost did the trick but it went bad because of other reasons. Truth is, I’d give my left nut for my hair back and I used to have amazing hair. If my hair was curly and sh*t, I probably wouldn’t care. Now I’ve more or less accepted this fate and it does help but there are times... there are times I’m out and I’m surrounded by people with the same god damn NW0 Brad Pitt Fury hairstyle. It hurts. So the more I chat, the less i think of it. I think once you accept you’re bald or like half bald, it takes away 50% of the problem, seriously. That other 50% IMO never goes away fully but it gets hit hard if you have a FULL day that you enjoy. So then the less you think about it, the less awkward you are, the less bad attention you draw, the better you are. They work synergistically. The only thing that really can’t be cured ever is the realization of how much this sh*t changed you and how many good things you missed already because of it. So when you consider that, it drives you nuts and you end up saying “f*** off” and you go normal. I’ve experienced all these and it’s more of a wave, sometimes you’re great sometimes you feel sad, I guess that’s how life is with or without hair.

Well I started balding at 18 (even though some symptoms were there even at 13!) and was nw3+ by 24.
I can testify too that balding in your (late) teens leaves a giant hole in your development, and that nothing will ever fill that hole. You will never be whole again.

Someone on this forum once proposed he would actually castrate himself in the hope he would regain hair. I hope he never actually did it. Sex is one of the few things that are better than hair.

I actually saw someone on this forumn who had orchiectomy for this purpose.. or at least he claimed that.

It stopped his hairloss but he still struggled to reverse it.

I love my nuts. I also have a big penis. The problem is how to stop hair from sabotaging things. I tell her I’m big down there and she looks at my appalling Norwood 5 and big *** forehead and she says in disgust: “Ehm no hun, I’ll pass”.

*looks down on flaccid penis* *sobbing in tears* *puts sad 1990s music* *opens TEDtalks playlist*

Dude I completely understand you, we are all in the same situation, start finasteride, minoxidil and nizoral 2% shampoo.
It's all we can do now wait until 30, at least with this you'll know that you are doing all you can to keep your hair.
they say medication at least is 90 % sure that you'll maintain you hair for 5 years, my advice start the medication and try to forget about it.
