Today was the day I realised to the full extent how hairloss

[Wezz]

look at freddie ljunberg i mean he is totaly feeling good about himself, he he even have some sexy magazine cover pics with a hair like you. Just build your body like him and forget about your hair, look he even touches his male pattern baldness area in this pic im showing you below, does he care ? he makes money and gets girls i dont know if he have wife or not but still he is very happy with his life. Plus he is very famous too, think how many people in media talking about his hairloss he got on past years, but he is just happy and not depressing about it like you do right now.

remember you are not the only one out there...

You can have freddie ljunberg's look. Just don't ever wear underwear like that within ten feet of me, or I'll kill you.

He's a footballer earning £25,000 per week.

He has no right to be depressed.

Gunner,
I know you feel like you have made no progress, but your hair has not regressed much either. You're hair looks like it is maintaining and the extent of your hairloss really isn't that bad. Don't let this sh*t break you down. Keep your head up.

hey gunner,

I completely relate to your despair. I went through the same thing when i was 20, when my hair declined to about what you have now. I went from having a beautiful blonde gf to self-destructing and losing her.

I'm here to tell you that i'm 35 and have more hair than i had at 20, and there was no propecia back then. I realized that my depression and my attitude and my constant focus on my hair falling out was causing a self-fulfilling prophecy. To get rid of my depression i started running a few miles a day, working myself up to 3 miles a day. Research has shown that running cures depression and obsessive compulsiveness, and it can also lower testosterone by 80%-see below.

What I see more from your post is not so much male pattern baldness, but depression and obsessive compulsive disorder. I was in your exact situation, maybe worse and running saved my life and my hair. It might be worth a try, it worked for me.

Whatever you decide to do about your hair, I would strongly encourage you to do something about your depression and ocd.

Good advice, JesusFreak.

Gunner, your thinking is not rational. I don't mean to sound like an a**h**, I am trying to be blunt and honest and shake some sense into you.

You are not thinking straight. I hope you realize that although we all complain about our hairloss here, you are taking it to a completely inappropriate level and you are sounding very scary. Your thoughts about your hairloss are way too overwhelming, you do not sound healthy and you really need to talk to someone about it.

I heard what you said about your parents and I agree with you on that. What they said to you seemed to be bullshit, 100% bullshit. You need to talk to someone who can speak with you honestly about your hairloss and about how to deal with it in a healthy way. It is NOT the end of the world, despite the fact that, YES, you are very obviously receeding and thinning, you have a lot of hair left and you are a healthy looking and obviously very intelligent guy. You have a terrible perspective on your hairloss, it's not right to think as you are, it is unhealthy and I really think you should consult someone. This message board is a good start. But if you keep thinking like you are, it becomes habit, and soon starts snowballing into an endless cycle of self-pity which is hard to get out of.

Sorry to sound like an a**h**, I am not trying to be one. I am just someone who is calling it like I see it, and I know you can get to the point where you will feel better, more adjusted, and more positive about your hiar and your treatments.

I went through something similar, not quite as bad, but bad enough to make me go out and get a hairpiece for several months, which was one of the worst decisions of my life. My experience with my hairpiece, the secretiveness, etc, really taught me an INVALUABLE lesson about hairloss and vanity, and about insecurity. I learned it the hard way, but now I see my hairloss in a completely different light. Yes I hate it, but I have to keep on being the best person I can be and I have learned that a positive attitude is far more attractive to a woman in particular and society in general than to sit in the cave and be ashamed. Worst of all, the worst of the damage of being a cave-sitter is the damage you do to yourself.

Get out there. I think you will find people much more accepting of your hairloss than you are.

I hope I didn't offend you. I am just being honest, and hope that if I ever get down, you would do the same for me. Take care, bud, and PM me anytime you ever want to talk.

One should really not only care for his appearance. But even if you only consider your appearance, hairs are not everything.
Look at these guys, they have a head full of hairs!

I didn't read the replies to this thread.

Here's my advice: You must start lifting weights. Get big and strong. You'll have the confidence to shave your f*****g head. You'll walk around feeling invincible.

Now take that 600quid, and go buy a benchpress, dumbells etc. Buy the weights, seriously. Get some protien powder and some creatine. I guarantee you that if you start lifting, you'll see results immediately. You will transform. Your problems will be solved. Now go and take that money, and buy some good weights. That is your only solution.

hey, u said u have clear skin. well, i'm losing my hair plus i have had terrible acne as a teenager which left me with pitted scars. guess u're not the worst off anyways.

 

[nikeaddict]

dude, first off i just looked at the pics and 1) after looking for like a whole minute i dont see a mole, 2) your hairloss doesnt look f*****g bad at all. If you feel so horible about it, ask your parents for some money or get a credit card or finance it and get a hair transplant. i dont think you look like you need one but if you will be so damn miserble you either need to get one and pay back the money (which will be better than feeling like sh*t) or see a shrink. i got a nose job cause i was constantly thinking i had a bad nose for a few years and since then i dont think about it ever, to the point where it went from hours of waisting time and being pissed to it not even being an issue any more. i think most of this is in your head man. but do what you got to do. people told me i didnt need a nose job but i am very happy i got one. oh and the dude in that picure has a male model facial structure, not a great example but it does prov balding dudes can still look good. your not the only person in your situation. next time at a bar (or pub) most of the dudes with the hot girls dont have perfect hairlines. just confidence. peace.

i also want to add smthg to the original poster. this sounds ultra cheesy and corny, but here goes and i hope u don't have to learn it the hard way.

two weeks ago, i got a sore on my penis. it was a red line along the glans of my penis. i thought i had herpes. good thing i tested neghative on a blood test. it wasn't till then did i realize that hairloss is such small issue. it really is. go to healthboards.com and look at the HIV/AIDS and herpes boards. some of these ppl have blisters on their genitals each month which burn so bad they have to skip work cause they can't walk. some ppl HIV positive. imagine living in a time bomb and being infected real easily. and the funny thing is the ppl in those boards, esp. the herpes board are in general happy ppl. they go on with their lives and thank god they missed an outbreak of blisters before their periods or that they're blisters are less severe this month.

so relax. ok, u're not going to be model material. i've accepted that long ago. but chances are u'll live a normal IF ONLY u stop hindering urself from it by worrying. good luck and god bless.

LISTEN TO THAT MAN ^^

In my more evil moments I think people like Gunner should be INFECTED WITH SOMETHING BAD just so they can get a grip!

ok, no more gunner-bashing, sorry mate. I like you, I really do, but your whining and lack of motivation really p*** me off

 

[Deaner]

I think your situation is as bad as it is because you make it that bad. Suck it up, you're an embarrassment. I have no sympathy for you, because people fight through things one hundred times worse than this every single day, and put on a smile, and tell everybody everything's gonna be alright, and live life to the fullest. You have a simple hairloss affliction and all you do is shut yourself in, ruin your own life, and whine all day. Stop being such a friggin' baby.

 

[Guest]

thumbs up deaner

i think everyone tells gunner that... it doesn;'t really sink in tho

 

[Juan Carlos Mederra]

yeah dude, you have a well shaped head and the really short hair suits you. You are being too hard on yourself. You might not look like 3 years ago..but what the hell.
I have similar diffuse thinning. I am giving sohpora root and bayberry now a shot.
