Emotionally nothing will be good enough as my beautiful thick hair use to be. I try and get over it and accept what it is now. I usually do pretty well and always seem to be able to have hope for the future. Blech |
I sympathise a lot with what you're saying. At present my hair loss is at the temples -- when the wind blows it's very obvious that I've got male-pattern hair loss, but otherwise it's not yet too obvious. However, I think that it's an enormous help to have predictability where possible and face up to the fact that real-life situations are rarely what we would wish, but we've got to get on with life and make the best of it.
Like most girls, I longed to be feminine. Being flat-chested and having to shave my moustache every day even as a teenager put paid to that. But I reckoned that the side-effects of the drugs that might have controlled the hair growth and increased my breast development might be worse than the benefit they'd give me, so I steered clear of them. And in the event I can now see that though my life has been rather different from what I'd hoped for, it certainly hasn't been any worse. I got so used to shaving that it's now a part of my life that I certainly don't think of in a negative way. If eventually I have to start wearing a wig I hope it'll become at least something similar in that I'll get used to it.
