Hi guys!
I wrote my story in the introduce yourself forum, however it was a real novel and I didn't got many answers. I want to share my story with you guys so instead I'll create a few topics (interesting ones) to get to talk with you.
Ok so before suffering hair loss, I was suffering from a severe depression. I think it started around march 2010. It was really the worst time of my life. I had no motivation, feel hopeless and basically lost fun in everything. I always had dark thoughts in my mind. One day in october 2010, I look at myself in the mirror and saw that my hairline was thinng a bit. (I caught it early because my hair was long in the summer and almost shaved in september and I can testify that everything was fine at that time) As days went by, It really got severe. My crown was starting to thin and I was seeing a lot of scalp through my hairline. I probably lost in two-three months what some people would have lost in half a decade.
I got to see a dermatologist in mid-january and see gave me a finasteride/minoxidil prescription. I've been taking Propecia since that day (It's almost been three months)
However what might look weird is that my mental state has improved a lot since then. I think a lot about my hairloss and a lot less about my depression. Don't get me wrong, I hate suffering from hair loss and I worry a lot about it but for the first time in about one year, I am living for something, the hope that one day I'll get my hair back (at least some of it)
If I get most of my hair back (I haven't lost a tone of hair but enough to have to worry about constantly styling it) I'll be more than happy and my depression will be far behind me.
I'm about to start Month 4 on Finasteride, so we'll see how it goes.
