as im comming up on my 4th year of NOT living to my full potential as a human being, largely due to hairloss and a couple other phycological issues, i wonder if i'll be able to break free from this self induced hell ive fueled for so long and actually be able to practice what im preeching.

i really dont have a choice in the matter, because each passing year the weight of a failed life grows bigger and bigger..i cant allow this to be my legacy and my life..

im in my mid 20s now and, and years seem to be going so fast... ive grown an awful lot since this started at age 21 and im about fed up with my waisted life... 4 fu*king years.. its gotta stop and i believe it will very soon.. i can feel myself getting closer and closer
I'm not a psychiatrist, or psychologist, or whatever, but you might run the risk of putting TOO MUCH faith in the ability of an HT, or even hair in general to change a persons life. It won't change who you are. As an example look at all the really sucky people with hair. For that matter look at all the really successful and happy bald people. You need to just be more accepting of who you are. Stop worrying about 'failing at life'. Just STOP worrying about crap like that. That will probably be your turning point. Not to be overly philosophical, but you only 'fail' as much as you make it out to be. I have been very down and out for long periods of time. VERY poor. Destitute, really. Friendless in strange unfamiliar cities. That was the theme of my early 30's. Those days are gone now, but I SWEAR those years built my character. I know that sounds cheesy, but I would not trade those days in if I could. They are a part of who I am. I am such a firm believer that adversity builds character. If it doesn't kill you that is. Anyhow, good luck with things, and for Gods sake, stop worrying so much about who you *aren't*, and start being happy as who you *are*. Good things will follow.

Regards, Stimpy

"stimpy" what you have said is true however Im not sure "lost my swagger" means that we need hair or we need to be attractive to reach our potential. The bottom line is most of us aren't destined to be movie stars or date models or anything like that but if there is something that consumes us so much that it affects the decisions we make, and our enjoyment of life than absolutly, we are not living up to our potential.

As a fully restored N4 or so , I can tell you i no longer worry about my hairloss..

HOWEVER, life always seems to present you will challenges which can really kick your @ss if you let them..

My point is , if it is not one thing it is another. We need to find coping strategies and proactive solutions to stop the worrying..

Fill your mind with positive things because if not, the negative will!!!
