I am tempted to shave off my hair, accept myself as being someone who has a shaved/balding head and move on with my life.
I am 22 yrs. old and have found that since I started losing hair, I do not feel like myself and am positive that I do not portray who I really am in public. I often feel quiet and reserved to a fault. I almost sense people thinking I am not friendly or personable because I am more quiet and embarrased because of my hair. It seems that I am not only losing hair, I am losing my personality as well and that is what is more valuable and bothersome to me.
I also find that there are many things I want to do in life but I keep from doing it because of hairloss. I find myself not wanting to meet new people for fear of what they might think. I know that my true personality would lend itself to making friends, but I do not have access to that personality right now for some reason. I also find that I don't go to the beach or in the pool because of what my hair looks like when it is wet.
I feel that it is not the hair being gone but my enjoyment of life and my desire to fulfill dreams that I have that are being restricted. This is all mental of course and can be countered with some hard work. I just want to make sure that I enjoy myself while I am on this earth and do the things that I want. To put things into perspective, the husband of a girl at my work is 30 yrs old and is dying from a brain tumor. I am sure if given the choice, he would choose hairloss over brain tumor.
I am fully capable, healthy, with a world of possibility and I am letting some fuzz on my head get the best of me. I don't think it is what is on our heads that is the problem. It is what is IN our heads. And that is a much harder thing to conquer and there is no propecia for that.
