Man what I would give to go back a year ago in time to where I never noticed anything wrong with my hair.
2 years ago I went through bootcamp and realized my how far my hairline was receding
I’ve had a receding hairline since the beginning of highschool but my barber could always make it unnoticeable to the point where I paid no attention to it.
After bootcamp my hair grew back and because it was so thick covered my hairline and looked good.
I got stationed in a very small town and the barbers suck.
In November of 2018 I saw hair on the shower floor and my life genuinely changed. I became obsessed with constantly checking to see if my hair is shedding. I’ve developed anxiety when ever I have to go to the bathroom because I have to look at a mirror. So fast forward I go home for leave. I explained to my barber what happened and he says my hair was always like that. Since I began highschool. So he cut it and to my dismay it looked like it always did.
I was shocked but my hair remained shedding. Hundreds of hairs every f*****g day. As if to constantly remind me that something isn’t right. I get it. Humans shed. But not like this. The weirdest part is that there’s no thinning. After I came back to my duty station a couple months passed and my hair started to look odd again. The hairs covering my hairline seemed to curl and lock up together causing for spaces of forehead in between hairs. My crown is fine. My dad has a perfect hairline and is 43 My grandfather is in his 70s and has basically lost his hair.
My moms dad had hair loss
That’s it
Today I was trying to fix my hair mimicking what my barber at home used to do but nothing looked like how he did it. I got upset and ran my hands through my damp hair and there was at least 50 hairs in each hand. I’m always stressed
I’m losing my mind
My life revolves around my hair
I find it hard to be happy
What’s going on with me
