my hair used to be the thing that made people notice me. now, I am scared bc I feel ugly all the time. I am also becoming neurotic and feeling caught because I am in canada right now going to school and am a united states citizen. I feel like my hairloss is not being addressed correctly, and I don't have the finances to wing on down to NYC and get an endochronologist (sp?) to tell me what the f is going on. Also, the dermatologist I went to the other day SUCKED and basically pushed me out of the room and when I then realized that I had more questions, he would not see me again bc he was behind schedule...
within the past 2 years I have lost @ 50 lbs and have been getting healthier. However, my iron count seems to be fine, and I have started to eat more meat. I'm just not sure what to do next. My aunt said that she lost hair at one point, and that a doctor prescribed her some kind of estrogen....

Yeah. So I'd have to say that the way it has changed me is that I:
1) feel ugly, even when I was beginning to feel better looking and more in shape
2) I feel paralyzed
3) I am afraid to go after men because I think they may notice I am balding
4) I dont talk to friends about this issue

also, an old long standing boyfriend of mine called me the other day to say that he missed me and that one of the things that he missed was my hair - that it was the one of the first things he noticed about me. Poor guy; here he thinks he's giving me a compliment.

Little does he know that this was a stab to my heart, and made me not want to see him again.
Basically, I am struggling.
