I agree, hairloss can effect your life so much and change you as a person. The support on this and other forums had been invaluable to me as it has "normalised" the whole process of replacing my hair. I class hair loss as a disease. by that I wouldn't wish to offend anyone who has experience of a genuine life threatening illness, but for me the way hair loss affected my mental health was horrendous.it changed me completely as a person and that change in personality and change in how I lived my life cost me my marriage. Fortunately the support of these forums has given me the confidence to take the leap into hair systems to allow me to start to slowly get back to the old me.
