I'm really struggling.

I'm glad that you have taken the step to join this group.  Being around positive people helps immensely.  I can relate, as can most members to your hairloss.  The advice that has been given to shave it is the only way to go.  Eliminate if from your list of distractions...BUT...it seems pretty evident that you have a lot of things to work out.  I really believe getting some professional help might be a benefit.  Best of luck and remember, you are among friends here!

Dome of Steele:
Welcome to the group,

I've been through some rough periods and I guarantee that you can come out of it.  It takes time and effort though. 
Also, about shaving, no one is good at it their first time.  The first time I razored my dome I didn't know what I was doing and there was blood everywhere.  You need to buzz it down first, exfoliate it or let the shaving cream sit on there a long time to soften up the hairs and you need a good razor.  Use a Mach 3/headblade or something like that, no bargain bin razors!  You might want to follow with lotion or something to soothe the skin. 

As far as how you feel, I can sympathize. But after being sly for years I don't even think about balding.  I love getting up and going out into the world, I love getting out there and doing things I am passionate about, I am excited about life and you can be too! 

Don't give up, shave your head and move on to worrying about other stuff!
I've got 99 problems and my dome ain't one.

Hi lads

  Well i have just joined and this site has just given me a huge boost.I have been shaving for 7 yrs and i personally love it and the girls do also.Yet i was terribly depressed for a few yrs and then.....no more!! I accepted it without any lady telling me it was ok but the confidence i adopted made me more attractive i guess.Look lad,forget how you look and i am quite sure you look great....you must concentrate on the positives.Woman or no woman,be happy.....it's only hair but as many will sure agree.....we're better off without it!!!!

WhiskeyHotel:
welcome man! i agree with the fellow members that said you should definitely talk to someone who cares or seek some professional help, as it does seem that some of the problems you mentioned go deeper than hair loss.

however, in the meantime, definitely pick up some better quality shaving supplies, and give it another go. take your time. check up on some of the shaving routines members have posted up in this forum.

i just want to add, i was in your spot for a while as well. i used to try and cover up or cut my hair in ways that would hide my hair loss. the stress and worry is not worth it. i shaved my head a little over three years ago, and haven't grown it out past a one since, usually due to laziness. but anyway, my point is, no matter how bad you think you'll look with a shaved head, it's never as bad as you think. and you may have some moles, but i can't even tell you the last time i saw a guy with a shaved head that had moles. what i mean by that is, no one really pays attention to any of that. people are just gonna see you and be like, "oh another head shaver. another guy confident in his own skin". trust me, i didn't believe that at first, but after three years, i know it's true, and i wish i had begun shaving my head a lot earlier. it's really been life changing for me.

and a big thank you to the guys on this site that helped me see the light three years ago or so. a BIG thank you  O0
