ok..I'm 21 years old and I'm an Indian.I joined alopecia world long ago..but didn't really have the courage to log in after that. I have not been diagnosed with FPB as such, but I know I have it. The tricho I visit keeps saying it's just 'thin-hair' condition. But I don't believe it. Because I have an aunt who has it..and my hair is just getting worse. I never had awesome thick hair..but it never was so bad. I feel like I'm depressed throughout the day. I'm away from home and family and I miss them so much...I feel like I should leave my studies and run home. The other day, a good friend noticed my thinning of hair and said it aloud when we were with a few friends! I wanted to run away and hide myself. I couldn't stop crying for over 2 hours. He later came an apologised but the damage was done. Now I feel everyone who talks to me doesn't look at my face but at my hair. I don't know what to do. I hate to go to Uni everyday..I already have plans to shave my head when it gets too bad and go to some remote village in India and teach at a rural school..where nobody can come to me, point fingers and ask "Hey, are you going bald?"
I am single..and now that I'm balding..have hardly any chance at finding love. Uhhhh I'm so angry and frustrated inside. I don't know if I can stop it, change my diet or continue using the same stuff that don't really work.
It's still so funny here in India..people just don't understand. I keep thinking I'll shave my head, look cool and maybe start a trend. But I don't really have that kinda courage. One day I might just get up, go to my salon and get it shaved. But I love my hair so much..and it's still so nice at the back of my head...it's just the stupid top part that's making my life hell. I'm in so much agony! What can I do to make it go away???

Srikanth, this thread is from 2011 so I'm not sure if Mini is around anymore but I wanted to say hi and that I'm sorry about your hair loss. I know firsthand how traumatic it can be. I'm grateful that we have this place where we can talk about it. My first thought reading your story was that I don't think you should alter your career ambitions because of hair loss, but then, I've avoided certain professional situations because of my hair since suffering my own loss too. It's such a blow to one's self image and even more so when we're female.
