Today, while looking through a stack of possible pictures for Facebook, I found one I really liked, until I noticed that I have recently developed a bald patch. Problem? I am a 22 year old woman. FML

Today, I looked at pictures of myself from 20 years ago when I was a teenager and realized I have only about a quarter of my hair left. I'm a woman. FML

Today, someone told me I have male pattern baldness; they thought so because I apparently have a "receding hairline." It's always been this way, I checked my pictures from the time I shaved my head when I was 16. FML

Today, at 21 years of age, my doctor confirmed that I am, indeed, going bald. It wouldn't be such a bad thing, even expected, if I wasn't a woman. FML

Today, I noticed several grey streaks in my hair while putting it in its usual combover. I'm only 18 years-old, and my hair was once one of my greatest sources of pride. FML

Today, I had to accept the fact that I'm going bald, after I noticed the hair on my chest is longer than the hair on my head. FML

Today, I was finally confident enough to buzz half my hair off into the style I've wanted since I was young. Turns out that I have a particularly large and angry-looking skin problem across my scalp that may well have been there for years. It'll take months to grow back. FML

Today, I realized how bad my grey hair problem has gotten as I noticed I had grey pubes. I'm only 23. FML

Today, I have alopecia areata and I constantly have reappearing bald spots all over my head. I cannot properly grow a beard, and one of my eyes has no eyelashes. However, my nose hair seems to grow at the rate of an old man on biotin. FML

Shedding

Today, I found out, after having my third and last child, that I'm balding. I'm only 23 and quite frankly It's very much noticeable. How did I find out? My four-year-old daughter pointed it out to me, saying, "Mommy, why you shed like the dog?" FML

Perhaps you should smell your shampoo to make sure no one replaced it with Nair.

I had that in high school and when I got into college they finally diagnosed me with Alopecia Areata. You should look it up, you might have that. They put me on allergy medicine to help and so far I haven't gotten one since.

Yeah, my cousin found out she has alopecia areata a couple of years ago, and she was about 24 when she found out. Plus my dad has alopecia totalis/universalis. :( Of course, there are lots of other causes, you should go see a doctor.

Do you perchance have anemia? I hear that can cause hairloss. Check your shampoo's ingredients, or go to the doctor. Actually, you should go, just in case it's actually something serious rather than something simple.

You can also become bald because of high-stress situations or if you wear a ponytail in the same spot for a long time. Either way, you need to go to the doctor and get it looked at just in case.

Holy crap. Wearing my hair up in a ponytail every day could make me go bald?! 

If you do it in the same spot, and if you keep it in for a while. And, if it's really tight.

yes esp if you put it in tight while it's wet, too...it happened to my friend. Also if you sleep in ponytails I think it can happen, too. High stress situations cause balding because it happened to my grandmother when her son had an allergic reaction to a vaccine and he went into a coma for a month and technically died 3 times (he's alive now, btw)...

Amazing all the things stress and despair can cause. Hair loss, weight loss, vitamin loss (not attributed to weight loss), even loss of some motor skills and comprehensive abilities... just a general debilitation of your health. It's all temporary, for the most part, but it's still fascinating that it happens.
