- take fish oil
- take vitamin D
- take a multivitamin if you want
- get exercise/go outside as much as you can - aim for 15 minutes a day to start, even if it's just walking around the block or biking around the neighborhood. I can guarantee you that no one you've ever met pays as much attention to you as you think they do.
- systematize your day. Regular sleep schedule, regular eating schedule, regular showering and chores.
- if you can't sleep, really start training your mind to go to a "happy place." It works.
- Keep a journal/log if possible, just so you can note your feelings/circumstances and make yourself aware of how they're affecting your thoughts.
- Learn and work at things that challenge you. Overcoming problems will make you feel better about yourself.

First off, bald people are hot, your ex is a hoe, and your body is doing normal body stuff. You're changing as you get older, everyone does! I'd like to have as positive an outlook on life as you've just described, so keep it up dude. You're not nearly as low as other people I know.

Thank you for taking the time ro respond. These are all very helpful suggestions and so far, I'm doing none of them. It'll be challenging but thank you for getting me started on the right track.

Thank you friend, this gives me some hope. I really do need to start working out, I think I'll benefit greatly from it.

You're right in stating that I don't have much to lose now. Helping others would give me much more satisfaction than chasing girls or trying to get laid so I'll definitely start looking into this.

It just feels so strange to be prematurely balding especially when every male in my family except for one uncle have a full head of hair. I would have never expected it and always had the thickest long hair until I suddenly realized one day that it was thinning. It may sound superficial but I have a lot of attachment to my hair and seeing it slowly thin and die depresses the fuck out of me and gives me anxiety. Some bald men look great but Im definitely not one of them, especially since I'm short. But thanks for the words of encouragement, man.

If youve always been an optimist, then youre just going through a rough patch and things will get better with time. Just dont do anything reckless and prioritize your mental health over everything but your job. Give yourself plenty of time to rest.
