I realized I had slow balding somewhere around 5 months ago. Minor diffusing but in atleast a norwood 6 pattern. Even though family and friends told me I wasn’t balding and couldn’t notice it, it was all I could think about. Didn’t care anymore about things that used to be important to me like my job or lifts at the gym. I was hugely anxious about my hair and honestly was pretty closely bordering major depression disorder...
2 months ago I started propecia and rogaine and I’ve pretty much reverse any thinning... I’ve been so happy lately. It doesn’t matter to me that my bench press dropped almost 70 pounds or that I’m much less knowledgible than I was previous. Having hair=happy.
The problem is I realize I’m on borrowed time. I have a 92% chance of having this much hair next year and around a 70% chance in 10 years. Beyond that who knows... I’ll almost certainly jump to avodart if things get worse but EVENTUALLY this will catch up to me. And when it does I can’t let my entire happiness come crashing down again.
How should I prepare for the inevitable? How the heck does one cope with balding? I have to figure it out
