I'm an 18 almost 19 year old dude with a borderline NW3 hairline. Throughout my whole teenagehood I've been extremely stressed and have experienced a few bouts of depression. This is mainly dude to my dysfunctional family as well as school. When I was in the 10th grade, I experienced my first bout of depression even though I didn't know i was depressed at the time. My new best friends who I met in the 9th grade transferred to a different school making me close to a loner and I was dealing with family problems. I KID YOU NOT! my hair has not grown since the 10th grade. Ever since then my hair has been shedding in excessive quantities but I always just brushed it off (no pun intended) .
It was not until the second semester of the 12th grade that I noticed my hairline was jacked the f*** up. The turning point began when a friend asked me why my hairline looked the way it did. He traced how my hairline looked from a sideways view in the air (zigzags) then compared it to his own hairline. I replied with "That's how it's always been" because until then I never f*****g noticed how bad it really was. Ever since then its been added to my list of insecurities and has made my depression so much worse.
Now fast forward to today. My bald temples are a bit higher up and the crown has started to thin just a little bit. BUT THATs NOT THE ONLY THING! the hair on the sides of my head are noticeably thinning too along with the hair around the nape of the neck/around the ears and although the hair on the back of my head is still thick i can still spot and pull on some thin, straight, and wispy hairs. Oh yeah, I'm a black guy by the way so my hair is very curly.
I finally got off my *** and went to the family doctor so she could send me to a dermatologist but I KID YOU NOT my derm appointment is on MOTHERFUCKING NOVEMBER 3RD 2016. I have to wait months to finally figure out what the f*** is going on. So In conclusion, My hair is thinning all over but more on the sides and crown and I have a BAD hairline. I've only been dealing with the bad hairline for about a year and a half. I'm pretty sure I have chronic Telogen Effluvium and not male pattern baldness but maybe its both. The most important question is... if once i eliminate the trigger (stress/depression) which i plan on doing by moving out of my parents house by the end of the summer; will my hair including my fucked up hairline grow back? Also, out of all of my close relatives that I know, NO ONE has a fucked up hairline like mine. PLEASE HELP ME. This in addition to other more real problems in my life has made me suicidal. Keep in mind that my hair looks better in the pictures because I took them right after I took a shower and moisturised my hair with coconut oil. ANY advice is appreciated.
