Hi!
I am writing a post for the very first time. As I do so I am crying. I am 28 years old and my hair is thinning. I've always had thin hair, but now myy scalp is showing through on top. Also, it is thinning in the back/top. NO ONE in my life understands what this is doing to me. My mother gets upset because her hair is thin and she is balding (so she feels badly- because it appears to be hereditary) My fiance is great. He keeps telling me that I am beautiful and he'll love me even if I become bald. But none of this helps. It doesn't matter to me. I feel horribly depressed and alone. It is taking over my life. I've read some of the posts and I am glad that I am not alone, well not glad for all of you, just relieved that perhaps I can chat with some of you about this. I am constantly staring at other people's hair. I don't see anyone who has my problem. The thing is that it is not so bad right now- so people brush my concerns off as an insecurity. But I SEE how my hair has become thinner on top in the past few years and I am afraid of what is to come. Hair loss is progressive and I am devestated. I cannot belive that this is happening to me. I feel so unattractive. I cry all the time. I'm getting married next year and I am afraid that this depression over my hair loss will plague this wonderful time. I went to the derm. She was horrible. I waited an hour and half to see her. She looked at me for 3 minutes. Said Yep it's thinning and ordered me to take rogaine. I have problems with this because it is such a committment. Plus I am afraid what will happen if I go off it, as I will want to have kids some day. I don't think you can use rogaine while pregnant. She also told me to take biotin, a vitamin. Has anyone heard of it? Does anyone know about hair transplantation for women? I just feel so uneducated and hopeless about this whole situation. Also, alone. I am planning on calling a bunch of dermatoligists soon, to see if anyone specializes in hair loss. Then maybe I can get some help. But before I do this, can anyone give me any advice on my situation. I am sure someone out there is more educated than me in this area. Or JUST SOME WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT would be helpful. As I have said before I feel so alone in this whole ordeal. Thank you for your time!
