Discussion Anyone else losing hair from stress ?

[Meatismoz]

The last year my hair has gone to absolute shit, usually after a stressful event or randomly I'll have a large amount fall out. It actually looks ridiculous

and it always takes a super long time to grow back to how it used to be. My hairline has pretty much stayed the same and im on finasteride and min to try and stabilize it

I had a friend on one of these things who suffered from dwarfism and passed away about a year after he started going bald because it pushed him off the edge combined with everything else

Losing your hair is a really traumatizing thing men aren't able to talk about. Especially if you already have a bad face to not make up for

Yes but kinda my own fault

Stress can cause hair loss. When I was at lows (and stressed a lot) I combed out lots of hair almost everyday. It will take years to grow thick again.

I think I am lucky. I don't have that much hair lose. Or I simply don't notice it. But I get many grey hairs for my age. I will even more look like George Clooney. The last sentence is a joke.

Might be the same with me. Hair loss only started when I started using Kratom but it's the only thing keeping me alive for now

 

[FoxSauce]

Oh damn. No for me i just pull it out from stress lol

Also what's Kratom

Also what's Kratom

this caffeine type plant that people use to reduce fatigue, anxiety, and get off opioids but it's not studied well and has a lot of unexplained side effects

 

[FoxSauce]

Wow! I've never heard of it
And like you have to order it or you can find in in a grocery store?

I think hair (and hair loss) is mostly about genetics.

As long as you're not in like 4 states / countries where It's banned you can just order it online usually.

I would use caution if you try it though and take periodic breaks + take diet supplements since it depletes nutrients like alcohol. I took it every day for a year and had the bad side effects with hair

Yeah but there's also nutritional deficiencies that can cause the thinning I believe

True, i was bullied for my looks growing up, then had surgery and now i'm slowly losing hair. I'm on minoxidil rn and will try fin soon, i am never going to live while being bald. Either i find a solution or i hope it pushes me off the edge.

 

[FoxSauce]

Is like a normal coffee? Or different if so can you make different coffees with it like expresso, lattes and stuff?

Yeah I'm on finasteride now after doing a lot of research into it, not as bad as a lot of internet people claim it is. I would definitely get some you can get a prescription online most of the time

I have topical minoxidil but I'm working up the courage to use it cuz I know I'm gonna shed like crazy and look horrible for a good couple months

Oh it's not really like literally coffee. It comes in the form of a powder so you can make tea or what I do is mix it into my shake since it's gross asf

Good to know, did u get any side effects from fin? I have been on min for 3 months now, i have small results, but nothing very dense yet. I hope it keeps improving.

Nah the only side effect I got from finasteride was the shedding. A lot of people get themselves worked up reading possible side effects online when it's like than 2-15%of people who really experience it without nocebo

Fin causes shedding too? For how long?

My shedding was like a couple weeks but it was a few months before my hair was looking normal again.

Sadly, yeah, my ponytail is getting thinner and thinner. Last year I used to have a gorgeous, long, jet-black mane. I've had long hair since I was 18 and didn't know how to properly take care of it for years, but women always were envious whenever I walked into a salon. They asked what sort of products I used and I just chuckled and told them my secret was engine oil. When I was abroad I had an Uzbek friend who loved my hair and taught me how to take good care of it, which products to buy, how to wash it properly, etc. After that I met my ex and I really REALLY took good care of my hair, man, it was beautiful: strong, shiny, slightly wavy. I'd never taken so much care of myself and cared about my looks than when I was with her, clean shaven with imported aftershave all time and Versace perfume.

Now I just don't give a fuck. I can't even take a shower sometimes, too depressed, too afraid to look at my own naked body after I was finally comfortable with it again thanks to being able to share my nudity with somebody I loved and trusted. I'm not eating well, not getting a lot of sun, feel like shit most of the time I'm awake...it's only natural my hair would follow suit. It's

I started losing hair as a 16 year old and didnt really care. Got the hair ring so decided to just shave it off, been 2 years now. It isn't one of my reasons to ctb.
