Wow! I used to look at these sites everyday! Recently I've been viewing what you guys have to say. It equals a lot of reading about Ryan Livingston and a whole lot of shit about paranoia and distaste. Coming to this site is like a ritual. I've been there-its hard. When I first realized I was going bald I flipped out. I had some very lonely and depressing days. I researched like the best of you-never responding to these sites however because I felt somehow that that would mean that I had joined a bunch of hopeless people. Not that any of you are hopeless- that was a falsehood - a paranoid thought brought on by a physical difference that I had encountered. Its weird you know? Hair falling out- what the fuck is that? Really? Its still weird when I think about it. Hair! What a random thing. Anyway, I had a plan. In '98 I started Propecia. In '99 I added Rogaine 5%. And I truly believe without that stuff I would have gone completely bald. I'm not bald now. I still have diffuse thinning on my head. When its grown out you can just barely tell- you all know- those lights- the ones that show all----flourescent and all. Basically I can still grow a head of hair. I'm only 23 but this has been going on since 17. However my head is shaved now. I decided at 21 when I was drinking and smoking and lost and doing drugs and ready to give up that I was going to take life back. Maybe it was seeing my best friend come down with a bad case of diabetes or seeing a high school friend die; but I started to feel real fucking selfish. Not to sound holier than thou because I'm not. I've seen those threads. It hurts to go bald. It hurts. Never underestimate that or let anyone make you feel bad for hurting. But I changed myself and now I cannot imagine any other way. Now I've changed for the best. There's a great possibilty that I will particpate in the Pan Am games. Maybe I can swim my way to 2004. I have three years now. I have found a passion. I am no longer depressed or obsessed. I am no longer an addict. I am. I am a corageous man. A lot of you will read this and be pissed off. Just like I was when I read some super dooper happy person who all of a sudden was OK with their baldness. That used to piss me off. How the fuck are you going to be happy and be bald?! Well I am. I dound something else. I'm happy and I'm sound and strong and one of the top swimmers in the country. All I have to say is onwards! Keep going and never feel bad for how you feel. You have every right to feel pissed the fuck off-selfish-happy-whatever. I guess the only advice I have is just don't let life pass you by while your sulking. Do something else and capitalize on what talents you do have. Some of the people I have raed on here are so intelligent-they have more knowledge on MPB than most Dermos. Take Care....Onwards....And fucking shit-by all means be pissed the fuck off-but just don't keep it to yourself!
