Please Read and please help........
I have yet to start into a serious regiment but already I'm exhausted when it comes to maintaining this whole losing hair thing!
I wish I could just accept it, but I can't. When I found this website a few days ago, I was so excited that there was hope for me but I'm not really sure about it now.
It's like a rollercoaster of emotion. Sometimes I feel like I might be ok, and other times I feel like just giving up. It's bad feeling when you can't control a major aspect of your appearance.
The worst part, right now, is that I'm still waiting to get into see my doctor. It's 5 days away and it seems like a lifetime. Then I expect a long wait to get into a dermotologist, which will drive me crazy. I need to combat this now b4 it becomes too noticable! I don't have it in me to deal with real baldness.
I have nobody I can turn to, to talk about this. My girlfriend is so sick of hearing about it that she just ignores me when I bring it up.
It seems like most of my friends are keeping all their hair just fine, so they get off on teasing me about my problem(which again is not that bad) I have already started seperating myself from them.
Money is definetly an issue. I was on Life brand Rogaine for about 8 months and had to give it up because I couldn't afford the $50.00 a month, on top of all my other bills. Why in the hell doesn't insurance cover this crap? There would be a lot more happy people out there if they did.
I was on meds for anxiety and depression for about 6 years. I am happy that I finally had the strength to come off them about a year ago. I hate the thought of taking any pills ever again, even vitamins because I have a very low tolerance to medication. I seem to get every side effect listed. I have considered these last couple of weeks to go back on them so I don't feel so damn bad. I don't want to depend on pills for anything.
I'm so worried about what these hair meds will do to me. I can't handle the shedding part(that is if I understood what I've read), and the possibility of having a foggy head scares the hell out of me, if it happens it will trigger an anxiety attack and I can't handle taking them anymore.
I don't sleep anymore. Maybe 4 hours a day. As soon my head hits the pillow, no matter how tired, I start worrying, mostly about going bald, and I don't fall asleep for 6-7 hours.
I'm so goddamned confused about what to do, and what to try. I'm at the end of my rope here and literally ready to hang myself with it. Honestly if I lose my hair I think I'm done with this life!
