Im A New Member Around Here, Short Story Of Me.

[twelsh93]

I've been around stalking here for a while and decided to make a account. I'm currently living with the stages of hair loss. At a early age I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and one of the side effects is indeed hair loss. My mothers father was bald, and her brother ended up bald. Father, and his dad have a great head of hair but it looks like mine will eventually come to an end. Thankfully I can grow a beard. I joined the military 4yrs ago, which I know didn't help at all for my hairline given some of the weekly stressors I'll deal with from time to time. Early on I was depressed about eventually being bald but with the help of my wife who I've been married to for about a year I've learned to cope. I broke down one day to her, after being scared of what she'll think when I lose my hair. She said I've known you'll eventually lose it, but decided to never bring it up. She then went on to say hair or no hair she'll love me no matter what. I feel like a lot of us become scared of what others may think if we're bald. I've learned a lot of people could honestly care less if I have hair or not. In the end I think I worked myself up for no reason. I don't knock others trying all the options the market has to offer with hopes of saving their hair, but I've learned to just eventually accept my fate. If anyone needs to talk about coping I'm here to talk and hopefully can help! Who knows, maybe we'll get that cure one day and have big, beautiful, and luscious heads of hair once again!
