Um, at the moment- a shampoo rotation of Nizoral, Carol's Daughter and Thin to Thick, Follicure conditioner, my own concoction of Megatek and eucalyptus oil which smells like pure garbage, and every other month Aphogee protein treatment.

My name is Lish, I'm 31. My hair has been thinning for a few years now. It didn't bother me much at first, my mom and aunt both have thin fine hair and I figured as I aged I would thin out also. In addition to the genetic component, I also have panic disorder for which I take an SSRI, and a beta blocker for anxiety-induced heart palpitations. The past year my hair loss has really started to bother me, and it all came to a head(ha) a few weeks ago. My boyfriend and his brother had come home from a night of drinking. His brother, unaware that I was in the room, began saying a lot of nasty things about my hair. How much I've lost, I looked ill, awful, etc. It nearly broke my heart. You always comfort yourself about your flaws with the old notion that you're always your worst enemy, and things never look as bad to others as they do to yourself, but now knowing others really do notice and how bad it looks it has upset me to a whole new level. Anyhow, I have really enjoyed reading thru posts here. It's great to know I'm not alone and maybe I can start to feel better about this someday.

I love photography, good movies, art and tattoos. I'm in a long term relationship which has been a rollercoaster ride from the start. I have 2 Maine Coon cats whom I adore. I deal with panic disorder and depression. I can be quite morose and negative, and I've never had much self esteem. I try really hard to keep myself busy, be there for others and work on improving my state of mind thru therapy and reading. Currently I'm trying to learn French, so I can watch Amelie without subtitles:)
