Seriously, ive been obsessing over my hair for more then a year now, and in that time ive lost prolly about 50% or more of the volume from it. I have receaded about 1/2 - 1cm in that time and that bit in between my temples has gotten thinner in width (i started life as a nw2 i think). the last 5-6 months of last year were pretty bad with shedding, and the whole propecia thing at the start of this year really set me back a bit.
But yeah, even though ive been visiting this forum (and others) since i started noticing some thinning. in the past 3-4 months ive become so obsesed.
I read this forum EVERY day, i trawl through posts going back as far as i can find. Ive got like, loads of topicals and refuse to go out in the evening as my hair obv looks rubbish with half a ton of RU, minoxidil, etc... in it. I wake up EXTRA early just so i can apply minoxidil to my hairline in the morning, and have that bit of extra time to let it dry and style it best i can for work.
On weekends i avoid going outsite atm as its far too hot to wear a beanie, and to bright to be walking around with my naff flippin hair. Completely stopped thinking about trying to get a gf as i failed when i had hair, and 3 years of being single, ive pretty much given up hope now untill i get this sorted, and then the rest.
I am changing my whole lifestyle (for the better in terms of health) but have become very recluse, i probobly only go out for a few hours on thursdays round a friends house, and even then i wait untill it starts getting dark so i dont blind people with my scalp. I used to go out drinking and being social etc.... not anymore, i quite literally cant walk into a club, or a pub that has young happy *hairy* people in it, and avoid chicks at ALL costs. I just go down the local i have, and even then its only really on saturdays, as there is none of that there (and iv'e started scoping out all the norwoods there too, as its a bit of an old persons pub).
Every single time i come into contact or interact with ANYONE, i check out their hair, crown, density etc etc... the second they are not looking. I count hairs that fall on my desk at home and and work, checking them for length, tapered or not, width, density, pigmentation, whether the last 1" or so is white/unpigmented. Whether it's vellus, intermediate, or terminal. ill even put them to one side on my desk so at the end of the day i can tally how many hairs, and of what sort have fallen from my head.
.......have i got a problem here? or are there actually other people who are as bad as me?
