Looking at OLD PHOTOS....truly depressing experience

[vipergts]

Never thought I'd be jealous of myself but I went through some family photos takes 1.5 years back and my hair looked perfect - pretty much a norwood 1 with virtually no diffuse loss! Of course I lost around "the usual" 60-100 hairs this morning and looking at these pics was like rubbing salt on my wounds!

I do feel disgusted at myself for being so vein. I missed what the pics truly reprseneted - our last family reunion and some great times that we had together. No matter what I just couldn't take my eyes off my perfect hairline and dense mane. Oh well, times change. I feel like I am fighting a fight I am destined to loose. What *really hurts* is why this happened SO FAST. Why couldn't this happen over 5-10 years! I bet in 2 years I would kill to have the hair I have now - it is all relative! I just want to stop the F***in loss in it's tracks and that seems impossible.

Yeah it's me. So you think that my head isn't big? So I'm the only one who thinks that way. Cute. Nice BDD.

I was looking at a pic that was taken 2 years ago and I was actually shocked at how bad my hair was. Back then I thought it wasn't that noticeable, but I was really a nw2+. Got me wishing I had started the meds about 5 years ago. Maybe then I wouldn't have to resort to using minoxidil so soon.

It was also reassuring to know that these meds are actually working.

Mine deteriorates on a weekly basis its been disappearing so fast since being on finasteride. Every week I say to myself I hope next week my hair is the same as this week and it never is. I'm always praying for the loss to stop and next week hope the dutasteride arrives and it is the answer cos finasteride certainly hasn;t been..trying to keep faith in these treatments even though nothing seems to work so far for a year now. Had my haircut Friday and its so short now cos of recession and thinning I look years older than my photos from last year when I had long hair and when i'm out playing with the band i'm in I feel so self concious...Hairloss really knocks your confidence.

Same here, it is getting worse and worse. When my hairloss started I was devastated because of my receding hairline and the huge forehead. This doesn´t bother me that much anymore since the rest of my hair has become so ridiculously thin. Understandable I think. Some people are telling others that we should enjoy our current state of hair because we would wish to have it back in future. But how can I enjoy it when I know that it will be worse in the near future? It is like dying from a slow painful disease.
