Still having a hard time accepting androgenetic alopecia :(

Its just hard, when I do my hair I can clearly see the side balding, now I have alot of hair in the back...but the front is what's looking scary atm.

Its just hard...why me? I had thick hair and I loved it to death ....now its going

I just, I don't know its too much..

It might push me over the edge. I hate my genetics, and my life.


Its getting to the point I can barely enjoy the hair I have left,

I hat3 I'm being tortured this way.

Alopecia is difficult to accept, but a good therapist -- a Ph.D. who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy - can give you tools and techniques to cope with it in a more positive and life-affirming manner.  Your alopecia is not your life; it's just one aspect of your life. It does not control or define your life.  Talk to your primary care physician or dermatologist as soon as possible and ask them for recommendations for psychologists.  You should also consider joining a support group so that you can hear how other people are coping and see if their strategies may work for you.

Don't ever give up. Please read the post by SeaN S . This is part of who you are now. But it's such a tiny part. You have to find the help you need . I agree with Stacie. Get a therapist who will help you see this realistically . It's not good to try and face it all by yourself. Find a therapist and work your way through it. Baby steps but keep moving ahead. Hang in there.
