I started balding when I was 20 (probably earlier but I hadn’t noticed) and I haven’t been able to live with it since. I’m on dutasteride and oral minoxidil. These past 4 years I’ve done nothing but sleep my life away because it brings me so much pain to see myself in the mirror. I’ve had some pretty intense OCD and body dysmorphia all my life but this has sent me off the deep end.

I got a hair transplant a year ago and I spent 15k on it and my hair is still receded and the transplant looks thin. I know I needed to have more tempered expectations going into this but I was so desperate.

I’m just so ready for this miserable existence to end, it’s only been 4 years of losing my hair and I don’t think I can keep going. And yes I’ve been in therapy since long before the hair loss. I started medication and therapy when I was 10 and I’m 24 now. I’ve tried every modality every therapist every medicine and it all does absolutely nothing I’ve only felt worse every year older I’ve gotten. I don’t think I was suppose to be in this world.

I know I know it was really dumb. I acted fast and pulled the plug on my computer.

On a clean device, I reset every password I have (I already have 2FA on all accounts) and signed out all users. On a clean device I also created a windows 11 bootable drive on a clean usb drive and shut down computer, plugged in the drive, then while booting up clicked F12 to enter bios and reinstalled windows from the drive. I then ordered all new credit cards.

Is there anything else I need to do or should I be worried? I am paranoid that plugging in the bootable drive could have gotten the infection on it?
