am i the only one?

as much as i hate hairloss sometimes i think i should just let it go and focus on other things in my life... but then after a day of that i realize how stupid it would be to not utilize our available treatments and hold on to it for as long as possible or at least till im passed my prime.

Even if id want to give up and go bald i think the fact that knowing i have alternative routes to take (propecia, minoxidil, hair transplant) would never let me do it. I feel as if id beat myself up every day when im slick bald and regret it for years to come.. does anyone else think this way?

Well I've realized that this site is a huge help and also a huge burden to me. The hair loss options it has made me aware of has changed my life and i'm grateful to be doing something about this total BS that I was dealt genetically. However I have a somewhat obsessive personality and tend to spend WAY too much time focusing on new treatments and research.

So I've came to the conclusion that I need to monitor the time I spend on this site and researching about hairloss in general. I'm going to do everything I can do to stop slow hairloss that I feel comfortable with but I'm also going to live life and not try and spend hours everyday researching. I try to avoid the sections of this site that aren't related to science/results/new methods as I find myself getting depressed and or discouraged by the social impact session a lot.

I know what you're saying for sure. I mean I've come to the realization that hairloss is a HUGE deal for me and likely will be until it's cured or I lose all hope in treatments. There's not really an option for me personally to just "not think about it" lol.

I think a lot of people feel this way, I mean I regret not getting on finasteride/dutasteride earlier, I can't help but think could I have retained my hairline better if I actively looked into this instead of waiting so long. I spend hours in a week analyzing my hair thinking about how good or bad it is. If I'm making any progress etc... Idk hair loss is honestly a horrible thing to experience. Based on local experience with people dealing with hair loss in the early 20's it really consumes you. Maybe try to spend sometime away from the forums or not as much time on it to try and cut back time there.

I keep checking back once in awhile to see if there are any new options for me to take that are proven to work. But sadly dutasteride and minoxidil still seem to be the best available treatments from what I can see. I think you should just view the time on your hair as time used on maintaining your appearance. Wish you the best though.

I want to do everything I can to keep my hair, but at the same time, it makes me so tired to constantly be thinking about it, looking for new treatments etc. And I'm not even sure I won't lose my hair anyway, even after doing so much about it.
