Posting on this forum won't make you worse!

Call to all members … There are so many people affected and that come to this forum, but so very few actually post.

I wish that all visitors would post once in a while. Some topics are very “soft” and everyone that visit this forum should have an opinion on them. Posting on this site will not make you worse (or like my father says: “making a testament will not make you die sooner!”). We don’t care if you’re the most or the least affected, but there more people that post, and the easier it is for all of us to go through this syndrome. It would actually be refreshing to see some people with “mild” side effects, if they exist.

My 2 cents.

A lot of the members on this forum have been battling this for a long time now. After a while the mind becomes weary and you realise that this is a long fight. In the meantime it is important to get on with life. Most of us are obsessive type people. We get totally fixed on something. That is what got us into this mess in the first place as we obsessed with our hair. Then we obsessed with pfs. If we are to have any chance of getting on with life in any way we have to cut that obsession and that means staying away from propeciahelp etc apart from irregular ‘check in’s’.

As for milder stories, I have been able to hold down a pressurised job as a teacher for the last 7 years despite the symptoms. I’ve never had a fight like the fight I’ve had against pfs but I’m still in there!

I still post from time to time, will always seek to warn people never to take this poison, but cutting the obsession has helped me enormously.

If you have a look at the members list there is almost a new person joining the forum everyday which at first is astonishing but perhaps not that surprising given the number of men taking fin.
