Very self-conscience... I find my in self pity for a majority of the day.

I am 27 years old and have been married for about 3 years now to my college sweetheart. I love reading and just hanging out my my buds.

So I don't know when my hair started to thin because it is always been relatively thin when I was growing up. It wasn't until I just started to see my scalp more and more that I realized something was wrong. It has become obvious that when some people were speaking to me their eyes would wonder to my thinning hair.

I never thought I would have to care about this. And to think I made fun of my dad because for as long as I have known he has been bald.

It has affected my entire life. If I hang out with my friends for over 2 hours, and I realize my hair getting really stringy and oily I just want to go home. I don't have anymore fun. I just am looking at their beautiful hair.

When I'm at work I am constantly looking in the mirror trying to make sure that I don't look completely bald.

I'm constantly putting my fingers through my hair, or combing my hair; just trying to fluff it but to no avail.

I do have a caring husband who is supporting me in whatever I do whether hair transplant, laser light therapy, etc. I do have to note though that he has an incredible amount of hair. Actually, his entire family has an incredible amount of hair. Just beautiful, black, thick hair. So I just don't think he gets it at all. How embarrassing is it that your husband has more hair than you?

I feel like I'm helpless because their is no "cure." No way to fix what seems to be an easy problem. I don't know if it's just me but it seems that hair makes the girl. Everywhere I turn I just see girls that have so much hair I want to cry. And then I just go back to feeling sorry for myself.

I never have been one to care about vanity - but I don't want to end up bald. Sorry I am loathing in my self-pity - I really shouldn't be - healthy, happy marriage, good family- but it's so hard when society judges you on your looks.
