22 years old with small bald spots on my side burns and receding hairline on right side of my hair. Also have a m shape hairline. (Not present few years ago!)
I just wanna share my story to help people out there or see if anyone has encountered the same experience. For me, I think it's because of the long hours of usage on my computer that caused my all my hair problems.
Back before 2012 I didn't have any of these problems. I can comb my hair upwards or put wax on my hair like everybody else could.
However in 2012, I went through a major crisis that led me to online gaming to try and (tahan) through the depression. I would play from 1pm to 3-5am the next day, sleep till 1pm again and repeat this process for many months. It was not until 1 year later that when I about to enlist that I saw my m shaped hairline after I shaved botak.
While in army, I am a clerk that can bookout after 5 daily. However, due to working under a maj tyrant in my office, playing computer games after I reached home to escape the stress from my office and the fact that I am in army, having not enough rest and the need to wake up at 6+ the next morning, I became very tired everyday.
This would go on for many 1 year and 9 months until I started to see bald spots forming on my sideburns. Occasionally I also felt some tingling sensation on my sideburns. Not sure if it's a sign from my body that my hair is gonna drop on those areas.
Now I have nobody to blame except myself for being so negative about the army everyday and not getting enough sleep everyday. ( I am not from saf!) I wanna blame the army for the lack of sleep but I don't think it causes everyone to lose their hair. If I can turn back the clock I wish I can do things all over again..
