How much did hairloss change your life?

[maher]

236 posts full of desperation and this is the stage of your hair loss? You should consult a psychologist.

That's not surprising, considering the insane level of misanthropy on this board.

Dude, Im not trying to give you a hard time at all but your hairline is in great shape for any age.

 

[resu]

I never had a good hairline in my life.

I think BDD is a sympton of society's, not ours. We're not the ones that have a problem with us being bald. Ask yourself: who's doing the hating, ridiculing, humiliation and rejection?

Bdd is a media driven disorder. They normalize perfection to the point where average people feel inferior, thus insecure...hence folks like toms thinking there is something wrong with them when there is
Not. Toms is fussing because he is not "perfect"not because he has legitimate hair loss that is causing him REAL torment. Wanting to look normal is well normal, while wanting to look perfect is just being vain and unreasonable.

THAT pisses me off. If you were to ever say you want your hair back, damn near everyone will call you vain. But those same people LAUGH at your hair loss too. So who the fvck is vain now? It's not like we're asking for something we never had anyway!

Fvcking society today is such scum.

When I see pics like this I wanna rip out whatever hair I have left really... YOU HAVE TONS OF HAIR, Toms! It's not "thin as f*ck" like you describe it, it looks like a completely normal full head of hair. I do not see any thinning, any receding, or any problem really. I'm not saying you aren't at the start of hair loss, because that might be. But I do not understand why you call your hair "thin as f*ck" or want a hair system at this stage of hair loss (if you have male pattern baldness at all). Fred is right, there should be a BDD section here because there are so many paranoid people here. If a hair system makes you happy again I say go for it, but to be honest I find it downright ridiculous that a guy with a full head of hair wants a system, which should be the last option. If you feel like your hair looks thin (which it doesn't, it really doesn't), why not try a concealer like Toppik? Not that you need it. Like UCman says, it seems like you want your hair to look absolutely perfect and even the slightest change in your hair sends you into depression. I agree that you need some help with a therapist, because I can't imagine how you'll feel when (IF) your hair "loss" gets to an actual loss, if you are this depressed over your hair now.

I've heard that crap countless time. Part of ageing really? I started to lose my hair at 17! People are so ignorant.

Yeah and I started losing my hair as a 20 yr old female, must be aging really.

I will never this hate on new guys that are balding here. Yes, toms hairloss isn't severe yet, but he knows that it is going to get worse and he tried medication but he thinks he has the boobie side effect. Of course you are then going to exaggerate things. He has no bdd, but he is just in a panic state because of this. I would be pretty depressed too if you first were a hot guy that could get any girl and suddenly become a ugly fellow that can't get anyone. All these people saying wait till you are a nw5 seriously need to stop saying that 24/7. As I said before you are first depressed because you know that the future isn't going to be nice, we get that if we are actually bald thing will be much worse. Going to a nw3 let me personally experience that. People here are acting like that you can only complain about hairloss when you are a nw5+.

Also getting a hairpiece now wouldn't be such a bad idea. People never noticed your hairloss so they won't ask question. Still I understand that if you are a nw2 it isn't really necessary to get one.

Before I forget, that guy is 20 and he is already around a nw2.4, that is not normal.

It's not "hating", why everyone keep bringing that term. We are helping users by showing the reality of things. I understand frustration and sadness because, of course, all of us have experienced it because of the hair loss, but having panic and to overblow it for discovering baldness in society's eyes is, bdd or not, irrational, specially when there's just no visible hair loss as of yet (how many times we have to say it really?).

If I had to quote uncomfortable man 100 times I would: "Toms is fussing because he is not "perfect"not because he has legitimate hair loss that is causing him REAL torment. Wanting to look normal is well normal, while wanting to look perfect is just being vain and unreasonable."

Just think of it, it's rather disrespectful to claim his hair is "thin as f*ck", like EvilLocks points out, when it clearly isn't to a bunch of people that have severe/tangible hair loss. Can someone please tell me I'm being unjust here? How do you come here and have balls to say this

needs hair concealer or a wig for crying out loud. Am I the one irrational? This is not rhetorical btw, someone please give me light because I'm not sure you are viewing the same panorama I am.

I'm also not kicking toms out of the forums because he really needs help, much more than emotional help that is...

I forgot to add, toms tried finasteride for one week to say he had gyno, thought this might add to my point.

I don't understand how it's "hating" telling a guy he has a great head of hair. If anything it's doing him a favor by telling him the truth, so he can hopefully take it in and stop being so depressed and down on himself.

okay, what would you do, if you popped one pill, felt a funky feeling in ONE breast and had a sensitive nipple, then pop 2 more pills the following days, still feeling it. then you stop finasteride for 10 days and the feeling is gone. then you try one more time, pop a pill and feel funky feeling in ONE breast again. and a few days later, you'd be driving a car and your ONE breast would bounce whereas the other doesn't. and you wouldn't have any other sexual related side effects, which you would have along with the breast feeling if it was placebo. Would you really continue taking the drug?

- - - Updated - - -

okay guys, I am seeing a psychiatrist then.

Good, you need it.

It's funny because everything else that I said got completely ignored but I will still follow suit.

I popped a pill and I felt a very bad kick in the balls. As I moved on with treatment it really got bad (and I mean, horribly bad) so I played with the doses and long story short, 2 months in all sides disappeared completely. It all took dedication and patience and not let myself being carried away by psychotic breakdown. I felt something in my right boob in ≈day 3 so I started taking zinc and worked out more and guess what? The feeling subsided a couple of days later. It's all physical and mental and you just got to know how to handle it.

Then again, I have will because I suffer from visible hair loss and I don't mind exposing myself to the drug. If you are against finasteride or don't have the will to persist fine, but don't say you have jumping boobs within a couple of days trying it because it makes you sound like a turd, on top of everything else you have said of course.

 

[maher]

Toms, **** them all.. Fred is mean as ****. Elocks is right- enjoy your "full" head of hair while you can. I undertand its a shock, you've lost some ground.. now its time to regroup and live to the fullest. You hope for the best, plan for the worst.

 

[maher]

I can't live to the fullest, because I need to put some extra work in studies now and I already barely tolerate the way I look, but I am going to try the finasteride one more time with zinc and I'll be ordering RU and see how it goes. Thanks for the support, man
I love how you put the word "full" in quotation marks, because I really am missing half a square inch at the temples

Work, studies.. college experience... Its all life- To the fullest. Just dont get stuck somewhere in between, like some of the guys in impact threads. I get it, male pattern baldness- its especiallly hard for good looking man to face it. Being a good-looking can be a burden.

Actually, thank you for sharing. I already tried zinc with finasteride, the boob feeling was slighter, but it was there, I might try it out one more time.

The thing with zinc is: you can't really know if it's the shedding from finasteride or the hairloss mentioned in the side effects of zinc supplements.

Note you already jump in and out off treatment but give it a try anyways.

I have experienced no shed (at least no different) since taking zinc.

I'm taking Zinc Gluconate 50 mg per day after having breakfast. I take finasteride before sleep. I also do push ups at least 4-5 times per week. There's reason behind what I'm doing but am too lazy to write it right now, PM me if you have questions and sh*t but give it time and dedication. If things persist after 20 days- or a month then yeah I wouldn't advice the risk of having permanent gyno.

My gf who is a pharmacist recommended me to take zinc as taking any other vitamin. 3 months, then 1 month stop, then 3 months... and so on.

This site is more for tom then it is for someone who is already bald. This isn't bald talk... If you're bald go get a hair transplant and move on. Or just move anyway. I don't get why Fred still lurks around here depressing everyone. He must feel good about himself everytime he puts down bald people

- - - Updated - - -



Are you still nocturnal erections and morning wood while on finasteride? Because mine stopped. And no it is not good or normal for those to away.

That is a combination of some of the worst and most ignorant advice I've read on the forums. Tell you what;

Try saying that a slick bald NW7. Let's see how far your advice gets them.:roll:

What does "If you're bald go get a hair transplant and move on" means really? That's a pretty dumb statement.

I think I addressed some of that in my story, but yeah I have morning woods and nocturnal erections. My libido is still on the roofs as well. I have to admit the morning wood does not feel as "hard" as before sometimes but I guess I expected that to happen.

You still have a full head of hair. You insult everyone on this board who's actually dealing with real hair loss, not just some minor temple recession. Wait until you're NW5+, then you can tell me all about what it's like not to be able to leave your house or not get sick when you see your own reflection.

dude is mentally unstable, it's worthless to keep saying that because the guy has no sympathy and no insight at this point... because of his "tragic" condition of course.

 

[Exodus2011]

yea i was referring to you

its significant hair loss in that it is visible but its not that bad id say.

meds shud stop it and hair transplants are realistic for you

I really don't mean this to insult or to personally attack you but, when you discovered that you had hair loss did you enjoy your life till it became noticeable? Yes, of course you are partly correct but please keep that in mind. It is not impossible to go from a thick nw1 to a nw4 in a couple of years.

Also tom it is impossible to get gyno in a week. Duta also gave me a tingling feeling in my breast but after a couple of months I still don't have boobs, your best bet is to take finasteride, minx ru or other prevention meds so your hair loss hopefully doesn't progress further and later take a hair transplant.

 

[EvilLocks]

No, but I enjoyed it a lot more than now. Back then I could still leave the house without feeling abnormal and that meant a lot. But I also wish I would've made more of the time I still had a decent head of hair, hence why I tell Toms he should too.

Uhm you made a good point there. The problem is more that it is a difficult situation. Once you realise you should have made more of the time that you had a decent amount of hair left, it is already too late.
