It's only hairloss get over it.
Humans really don't like loss of anykind, saying goodbye is one of the hardest things to do.

About every once in a while everyone compares hairloss to a another health issue to put it into perspective. Health issues happen all the time, and may not kill us, but that doesn't stop the sting of male pattern hairloss. As it changes our appearances dramtically and for alot of us here that change is not good.

for some hairloss makes them depressed, socially withdrawn and affects their everyday live, bottom line it lowers their quality of life and that is medical condition.

A person in the ER waiting for the news of critical hurt loved one will not sit their and say will i least i have hair, nor will he sit their and think at least i don't thinks so, oh man i am losing hair.

Sure those who utimaetly get another disease and then have another worry, but for some it will just be compounded with the hairloss disease. For some it's the opposite.
As for example un natural hairloss through chemotherapy.
Just imagine a norwood 3 already devasted losing it all and the chemo.

It's not fair too call us a bunch of whining babies and make comparisons. because were are just human and having ourselves look and feel our best is one of the things that let us get up in the morning and deal with the world.

i mean there are many woman who are dissatisfied with their breast sizes and don't feel as femminin and they get surgical procedures done. In fact may people have plastic surgery to fix what they deem to be a downer to them, how is this any different from us. ARe there any comparison made to them and illness, i wouldn't know. However the procedure goes forward and if there a competent doctor the results are physchologically life altering. If there was a great solution to hariloss we would all be doing it.

Were just human, whether it be for breast implants, being overweight or underweight, wrinkles, short or too tall etc... for example say someone suffered thrid degree burns all over their face. OH it's okay you look like charred and burn but your alive. And that's great news, coz every humans main instinctive drive is survival. however that person may not be able to walk down the street without having people stare at her. Through not fault of her own like hairloss, let's say it was an arsonist. Yes she did live but she has to live to certain extent of being stared at or not feeling like the rest of society. Enter medical science and skin grafts and can repair alot of the damage and make her more confident and ready to face the world. Just like hair would do for many of us. Same with the kid who got the top quarter of his scalp blown off by a gun (Saw it Guiness Prime Time). He survived, but he couldn't walk down the street without being self concious, "sound familiar". He told his mom he thought he was a monster. Again enter a willing physicain who was able to fill in what he was missing and he's in college and most importantly of all happy and content, with his self eesteem though the roof. Try telling him to shut up and stop whining pre surgery on the streets. Moreover one of the worst things about hairloss is your doomed to have it get worse and worse until a norwood 7 is reached , there are never any good days like u see in some case of ances. Medication helps but only a temporary solution to a permanetn problem, and therin lies the problem, which each follicle we say fall off we step closer to a high norwood obvillion.

Bottom line as described in hairlosstalk......

losing hair is one of the most devasting things that can happen to an otherwise healthy male.

And yes sh*t happens but again were just humans and it doens't take away the pain for some of us or many of us.

Here is female description of hairloss and i feel for her

female


at 22 this is so depressing. everyday i see myself with little hair and remember the days when i could put my hair into ponytails or clips. now i can't do that without one of my bald spots showing. i have now purchased a wig and wear it when i am teaching or working. if i am casually out and about i wear knit hats or bandanas to cover up.

my doctor put me on anti-depressants to help me. i cry a lot. especially when i put the ointment on. i look and see just how much hair i have lost. somedays i feel it just isn't fair. i never had a perm or colored my hair and now i have hardly any hair to show.

is it fair to tell her, get over it, live your life. Stop whining. End of argument. No like anything loss it will take time and hairloss is a continued loss. Some do better then others. No two people are exactly the same. We all handle things differently. Hairloss sucks.

Wow, someone didn't read the post.

You make a great point Salazam. I fully agree with what you are saying. It's easy for big dollar businessmen and medical practitioners to pawn hairloss off as just a minor cosmetic issue because it's not life threatening, and it's not happening to them. I never really figured it a big deal until it started to happen to me. My dad is bald, and i just never thought anything about it until I knew what it felt like.

Yeah we'll get over it... but why do WE have to get over it, when someone with another cosmetic issue get full attention?

good point here. i enjoyed reading that post. it sums up a lot of the way i feel often. i get angry with society that balding is viewed the way it is... i get angry with myself for caring that i am balding... i get down on myself that i'm not as attractive as I once was... i worry that i'm not going to have hair in 5 years.... i'm not excited about my future social life because I probably wont be comfortable with myself

those are all unheathy thoughts... and just not good for the body or mind.

Put into a sensible perspective. Great post, aand definately how I feel way to often. I often think about how much more I would be living if I didnt have such a disabling look on myself. But its no wonder I feel this way everytime I turn on the tv there is guys the same age as me on lets say mtv with great heads of hair and yeah I am sitting in my house trying to figure out how to stop it...yep it sucks but I will try to move on...

When I'm a chrome dome, I'm going to wear a bucket on my head. I'm going to ask my friends to call me, "Bucket Head." Then if anyone makes fun of me for being bald, I'm going to ram them with my bucket head. They won't make fun of me a second time.

Cheers.

Before I started balding I never even thought about hairloss and had no clue what balding guys went through. Today this kid in my class made fun of my teacher who was bald and it really just made me sad that people do that. I looked at this kid and he had really thin hair at the temples and i think he will be going bald sooner than he thinks. I would really like to see how he reacts when he starts balding.

Some people will never understand.
