Hair loss and mental health

Hi All!

I’ve been struggling with AGA for a long time now but it’s recently starting to get a lot more noticeable, and I’m 34 so I’ve got a long way yet to go.

How do people not let this completely destroy them? You can see so much of my scalp already, I’m struggling to comprehend how I can carry on with this for the rest of my life, I can currently hide with powders and a topper when I’m going ‘out’ but without these I can’t even look in the mirror and that’s now, god knows what it’s going to be like in 10 years etc

I feel so hopeless and as though the joy has been ripped from my life, it’s affecting my relationship and my ability to be a good mum!

I know it’s ’only hair’ but it feels so much more than that doesn’t it :(
