The Psychology Of Wearing - All Past & Current Wearers

[UpAway]

Obviously we all have a choice when we are bald on what course of action to take to try and feel as good about ourselves as we can.

I took the choice of a hair transplant and it went miserably wrong. Already a NW6 at 22 I am now a NW7 at 24 with out the possibility to shave my head and go out of the house without a hat on because of the donor and recipient scaring due to serious anxiety.

Part of me is excited to wear hair again not only to cover up my mistakes but feel like a 24 year old again. A large part of me however is worried. Worried about the psychological side of wearing.

I couldn't handle going bald very well but I still had a group of friends, socialised, went to work, had relationships. Since my hair transplant I've none of the above. I've taken the results of the hair transplant even worse and become a 'hermit'.

For all past and current wearers out there do you have any advice on how to cope with the psychological side of wearing. I have another 2 months until my system arrives and would like to prepare myself as best as possible.

Thanks!

It's a great question, Up.

Frankly, I have no idea how wearers can deal with the constant maintenance, anxiety, paranoia, etc. (that comes with the territory when you have a rug glued to your bald head) without eventually losing their minds.

My man shook couldn't handle it ... and that "mdk" dude was on here a few weeks ago trying to unload his piece.

Perhaps this is the answer...

I understand it will take hard work and commitment everyday until either:

1. Tsuji comes through
2. I become comfortable with my mistake and scarred head
3. I die

A lot of my family and friends will know I will be wearing, they actually recommended it to me and I will be starting a new job where no one knew me before so that's great as well.

I am already losing my mind due anxiety over leaving the house with out a hat on. I don't want wearing to be the same.

I have been diagnosed with having depression and BDD. Going through therapy now and hoping that will help.

I guess it would be handy to have a wearing buddy.

if you have little to no friends why worry? nobody cares then. nw7=death anyway, so why worry? i am also fucked anyway and can't imagine myself moving around with my nw3-4 in public places. if you take good care of it, you can worry less. you can get on antidepressants and use other drugs to lessen anxiety, also go to a psychotherapist.
