Hello everyone!

I was wondering if I could get a little advice?

I've been dying my hair regularly for years, but the last time I had my hair dyed I realised that I hadn't done the skin test and I think that flipped me into panic mode and I convinced myself that I was having a really bad reaction and that I was going to die, even though I clearly wasn't.

After that I haven't dyed my hair for months from the fear of it happening again...

I recently booked an appointment at the hairdressers and went in for a skin test and it was all fine until I remembered the last time and the fear rose up again.

I'm due to go in tomorrow and I'm heaps nervous... Not just because of the dye but because of the situation as well - last time I had been at home and was able to run to the bathroom/go outside for air/flap about the house panicking whilst my boyfriend told me I was fine - but this time I'll be in a hairdressers where I perhaps don't have that luxury :')

I now have the fear that I'll freak out, and in public my panic turns into an insane fear that I'm going to wet myself.

I feel this is something I shouldn't avoid (and because my roots are now many inches long!).

I was just hoping for a little advice maybe?

Thank you for reading!
