Really Guys...

[ZLMsLookinUp]

I really feel sorry for some people on this board. Not in that i pity them, but i generally wish i could help them b/c they sound pretty bad. Im only 21 and just shaved my head and am doing fine with this male pattern baldness thing, but some guys here are having a really hard time. I wish everyone here the best of luck and mental health. A lot of guys here are suffering from real deal depression and if you are them i hope you can conquer it. I had bad depression for a few years, but decided to start therapy to work through my issues, including male pattern baldness. it was a great thing to do. never did any meds, just worked through my family issues and male pattern baldness. it took a little over a year, but it was the best thing i ever did. Best of luck again to everyone.

I'm glad the therapy helped you.

I'm interested in therapy for myself actually. I'm not depressed, on the contrary im usually a pretty happy guy, it's just I get anxious.

When i was little i had obsessive compulsive disorder and i beleive i still have it to a degree (mostly the obsessions, no real compulsions) and it's this that i'd like to go to therapy for. Does anyone know of a good way of treating OCD through therapy? I'm not going to take medication for it, as it's quite minor. (not meaning to hijack your thread, just chime in briefly people if you are in the know)

Im impressed that it bothers you so little. Before i let it get to me so much, I was pretty good at not letting things bother me and standing strong.

"The true beauty of the soul shines forth, when a man takes upon himself one heavy mischance after another with composure, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic character." Aristotle

This used to be one of my motos, but it's been a long time since i've remembered it. Thanks for your post, it's rekindled my old self

It just sucks,, that all!! Still optimistic in future treatments and I still get laid so I guess my biggest concern is that we never know for sure what future brings.. That life!! Will never know the outcome of tomorrow

re:

I have also felt a lot of pity for people on this board even as I deal with my own self image problems. What I have always tried to focus on is understanding that male pattern baldness does not define us and it is only prtions of our warped society that makes us feel ugly. Rememeber that the situation is never really as bad as you think and people who make judgements on appearance alone are useless and wrong. Appreciate life and make the best of whatever hand you have been dealt. Remember that a positive outlook is a big step towards happiness.
