I was really not going to post anything here, I was like.. meh, I don't think I need to post it, but maybe it helps someone, I see so many desperate people because of it, that I decided to post it... First:
My story, I started noticing hair loss on the front sides of my hair near 20 years old, I freaked out like a little girl, I was going to do dreadlocks and I eventually and slowly started dealing with it, it was nothing majorly noticeable but I noticed it, and it affected me.
Years later, at age 25, it didn't bother me at all, I was even shaving my hair and not hiding it anymore with combs... it was cool, and then the hair loss hit me again, this time in a dread spot, on the middle and back of my head, I freaked out again, because this time it was noticeable.
How I fixed it: I went to a doctor, a dermatologist doctor, so I advice you to STOP surfing on the net for a answer for your hair loss, you aren't going to find any, see all these people 24/7 wasting their life on these and other hair loss forums? If there was a cure found by the regular, uneducated mortal in the science of skin and hair, it would have been found by the said users by now.
Anyway, go to a doctor, I did and he prescribed(sp?) me some drugs, minoxidil, avodart and after avodart some cistitone (vitamins that fight hair loss) and later on, finasteride.
Avodart made HUGE changes, I started seeing the front hairs growing back, those that I did not see in YEARS, it felt amazing, my confidence was back again and stronger than ever... I stopped taking these drugs because, meh, I didn't think I needed them... and I started having hair loss again.
Confidence hits: Again, my confidence was brought down, I went to a doctor again and I slowly came to realize, that it's just hair, and if there is nothing I can be doing for it, then that's a relief, that this routine of mine was just a stupid people pleasing habit, I noticed it in what I do and how I act, that I constantly craved for acceptance... I didn't use to be like this at all, well, not anymore man.
How I got over it: Learn to be bald, seriously, there is a bald lifestyle, only because you are bald, you don't need to give up, don't get fat, needy and stupid, continue working out, don't sit your *** in front of tv all day and stop taking care of yourself and be gross, like the cliche of the bald man. That's why no one likes them and thinks they are losers, because, bald men, in general, are losers, they give up, they freak out like if hair was some sort of happiness magnet, it's not, there are ugly dudes with hair just as there are without and vice versa.
Right now, I have still some prescriptions to go until I'm done with what the doctor told me to take, but meh, you know what? I'm just gonna grow a badass beard, hit the gym and ride my skateboard around still, and I think I'll be the happiest I ever was, because for the first time in a looooong time, my appearance will be my thing, not be conditioned by anyone else and what they think.
P.S. - Bruce Willis, Vin Diesel, etc, they are bald but they do it smart, use your internet searching skills to look up how to pull off a bald look instead of crying about a cure. When the cure comes, you'll buy it, use it and have hair again, while it doesn't, start living the moment now and stop worrying about what comes in the future or the past. The past is a memory, the future, an expectation.
I won't check these forums again, I'm too busy, but I felt like this was crucial
P.S 2 - I saw a dude and a doctor selling drugs on a tv show today and talking about hair loss causes, the dude was a client and was bragging about how a hair transplant saved his confidence and life, I was'nt going to do it, but I step away from the computer and did look at the TV... the dude was pathetic.
