Constant negative/obsessive thoughts?

[Coppal]

anyone else get this? on a train looking at everyones hair, figuring out if some one has a transplant, counting how many balding guys there are and how may aren't, thinking about womens opinion on it, looking at the top 100 best looking men and seeing they ALL have good hair and not one bald guy is there.

its ****ed up, when I see a full thick hairline I get god damn jealous and just wish I had the same, or see a guy whos like 70 who has better hair than me and im 23...

i've shaved my head clean with a razor and quite liked it, some days I dont really care and others it really plays on my mind, i constantly think of alternatives like SMP/transplants, then some days I drop it and think forget all that ****, then others i'm thinking bout it again

if I wasn't ****-scared of propecia i'd jump on it, stabilize and transplant in the following years, but im so OCD about pills im the sorta guy that'll create placebo side effects even if i dont get ay real ones

It just never eeeennnddssss - ease my pain brothers <3

i feel you here man..... most of the time i'm outside or around other people (which is pretty much only for work), i check out everybody's hair. I can't help it.
While talking to other ppl i really need to focus on looking them into the eyes, instead of the hairline.

I can only speak for myself, but for me getting on Finasteride was the right move. I don't think i have any sides and it has helped maintaining/slowed down the hair loss dramatically.

I've been suffering from depression due to childhood **** and hair loss has just ****ed me over so much. If you need someone to talk too I am here. The best thing my therapist told me to due is to learn to identify these thoughts, understand that they don't help and to stop them by telling yourself "Hey this isn't helping me one bit so why am I wasting time thinking about it and try to move onto a more beneficial task"

NORMAL.


Negative thoughts, and anxiety is almost guaranteed with this disease

Yeah, I guess we all have some negative thoughts and anxiety, some of us more then others but I think it's one of the main reasons most of us are on here. We just need some people to talk to who might understand and emphasise with us because it's not exactly easy to talk to friends and family about it.

If the physical portion wasn't enough, it's almost guaranteed to **** with your head psychologically, and mentally.


What a disease. No wonder people with cancer always says the worst part of their journey is loosing their hair.

I've noticed that since I have started my treatments, I constantly look at guy's hairlines and crowns. Before, the first thing I would notice when talking to a guy is his teeth, now it's his hairline. I walked through campus and think to myself "Hmmm that guy is a Norwood 3 he should probably started Finasteride soon." I have also noticed that a lot of my friends are losing it (NW2-3s, thinning crowns, etc). Part of me wants to bring it up to them, but I feel like it would end badly.

This happens to me a lot. (Not sure what is wrong with mine) but ill go through a phase some days lookijg at everyones hair. EVERYONE. And in a way it makes me feel better. But also sometimes not. I wouldnt think about it too much

The mature hairline thing to me is complete BS. There are tons of guys that dont have them which invalidates the whole thing to me. It sounds like a made up term to excuse away the ability to actually do anything about. Well it happens most of the time so just accept it even when its the same exact process as normal male pattern baldness

Mature hairline is real, but it's over played.

A real mature hairline accentuates and forms a very slight v in the hairline after one matures, and is out of their juvenile phase.

U shaped recession is 100% male pattern baldness

I do that and can't believe how many bald heads are in the crowd at a football match, beer and pies diet lol
