1. Denial
Nah, I'm not going bald! Everyone's shower drain gets clogged after 3 days!
I'm not receding, my hairline has always been like this!
I just inherited fine hair from my parents!
2.Anger
Why is this happening to me?! I've been a good person, this is completely unfair! Why is God punishing me?
3. Bargaining
Okay, I'll tell you what. I'll shell out thousands of dollars for hair transplants and cover ups to make this problem go away
Please, I'll quit drinking/eating meat/having sex/enjoying life if it means I can still keep my hair!
4. Depression
All anyone sees when they look at me is my hair. This is terrible. Everyone thinks I look 10 years older than I am and I'm completely unattractive to women. What's the point of keeping myself in shape if I'm destined to be ugly anyway?
5. Acceptance

I know I went through almost all of these!

Went through steps 1 and 5. Can't say I really went through anger, bargaining, or depression. It was more like a feeling of "this is not good but at least it will take a long time to be noticeable." By the time it did become noticeable, shaved heads were starting to come into fashion, so the timing was pretty good.
Step 1 started around age 20 so I do understand how it feels to have MPB at an early age. I was lucky that I had a lot of hair to begin with, so it took about 10 years to start showing up.

Pretty accurate description. Although I'm glad I never went through the depression part.

A word of advice, being online while drunk is never a good thing :XX I once made that mistake and somehow arranged a rendezvous with an ex gf... One that I didn't particularly like to make it even better :P

Great summary!

That's me in a box 2-3years ago. If you could add levels on those different stages, like 1-5, think I would be a 4-5 on every stage.
Now I'm just asking myself why, why do I always chose the hard way. I really don't understand myself or why I should have any problems, or why I make something big of every problem that I get.
I get so angry and frustrated.
Nice to see someone making a summary like this, it makes a lot of sense.

2,4, and 5 describe my stages. I'm happy now though and I think I look damn good bald. Now I worry about other things, such as my weight, girls, etc.
