Bad hair day

Tulip52

I just had my hair cut. She cut it too short and i look stupid!

The day started ok. I met someone this morning about potential work which went well. I came home and felt tired. Out again to have my hair cut. Aarrg! I hate it and now im crying. One minute i feel very capable and positive with so much to offer, then bam, melt down. 

I caught myself in the mirror whilst talking at the hair dressers and it is so obvious that im different. Now i want to hide. 

When i was about 14, i cut all my hair off to be like the boys, i look a bit like that now! 

In 2018 i was prescribed a different antidepressants. Because i rarely felt well, on them i slowly reduced to half the dose over the past couple of years. Now on half dose my autustic traits are mire apparent. I am also being referred for an assessment for ADHD. 

I have to decide, do i continue as i am vattling or increase or change my medication.  I kniw it wont help my hair grow quicker but i might not be so bothered about it!! Trying to bring some humour to a stupid situation x.

  • Ooo I've been where you are now and I'm sorry you've got to endure this bad hair whilst having to deal with everything else going on in your life. Your bad hair day is one of the reasons why I try to avoid haircuts. Own personal changes is something I really struggle to process, I'm 27 but struggle to see me as "Me" because I remember when I was a little girl and the reflection I see now, she doesn't look like me. 

    Lol sorry I'm rambling about myself now. I hope you're feeling better and it doesn't upset you too much. Whether you decide to take an increase in medication is entirely up to you. Maybe you could write out a pros and cons list and see how it looks and sounds after? :) On the bright side, you have your hair growing back to look forward to!
