Re: Relapse! Coping, Symptoms and Tips.
Sunflower, Labs are wonderful. I had a Lab mix named Holly growing up. She was an absolute dream. My parents have two young Golden Retrievers now and they're lovely but pretty over the top. I told my mom walking them is good for me, it really helps me appreciate my own dog more. :roflmao:
It was good of you to help that woman. I understand people are suspicious nowadays, but they could have at least called for help if they weren't willing to actually stop and interact with her. I'm sure she's very grateful that you did.
I have a haircut booked for tomorrow and I definitely need it, but at the moment I'm kind of feeling just exhausted by the idea of going in, explaining what I want, and then sitting there while she washes and cuts it. It just seems really mentally tiring. But maybe I'll feel differently tomorrow. Hopefully it ends up looking good!
Re: Relapse! Coping, Symptoms and Tips.
I used to get really anxious about the hairdressers Poppy, but now I actually like it. I like to read trashy magazines when I'm there and love someone else washing my hair. I'm quite lucky really because I see the same hairdresser each time which helps.
Re: Relapse! Coping, Symptoms and Tips.
Having your hair washed is so relaxing.
It's the mirror bit I'm not keen on. :scared15:
Re: Relapse! Coping, Symptoms and Tips.
Yeah, the person I normally saw either changed her hours or got really busy, but she started replying to me anytime I asked about an appointment and said she didn't have anything for a month or more. I've been to this lady once before and I really liked how she cut my hair last time, so it will be good. I just don't know her that well and worry about silly things like accurately communicating what I want or awkward silences.
I don't like the mirror bit either, Carnation. :roflmao:
Re: Relapse! Coping, Symptoms and Tips.
Have you got a picture to take poppy? That can help.
Re: Relapse! Coping, Symptoms and Tips.
I don't, but I'm not really asking for anything too exciting. Bang trim, cut off about an inch and a half, then long layers/face framing layers.
She actually called this morning though and had something come up so needs to reschedule. That is fine, I just need to figure out how I'm going to adjust my work schedule since I planned on leaving early today.
Re: Relapse! Coping, Symptoms and Tips.
Now I like the mirror. Probably got trust issues but I like to keep an eye on what they are doing so I can yell at them.
My hairs pretty straightforward so I made the mistake of asking Mr.D to trim an inch off. Well he cut about 3 inches off while claiming he was shaping it. You probably heard the sound of me hitting the ground in a dead faint all the way across the pond Poppy.
Re: Relapse! Coping, Symptoms and Tips.
My hair is pretty straightforward too, I cut it myself.
Mr C has also trimmed off more than required when I ask him to do the back. My mouth drops open when he hands me a 3 inch bundle that he's butchered in one go. :scared15:
He then as you say darksky wants to tidy it up.
There were many tutorial videos popping up on the Internet during the lock down and since cutting Mr C's hair he doesn't go to the hairdresser anymore. He doesn't pay me though. Pft. :lac:
Re: Relapse! Coping, Symptoms and Tips.
My sinuses issues are back....
Cough, cough, cough in the night. Facial pain and all that goes with it. So I'm not sure if my light head is that or anxiety at the moment. I had to pop out for a few things which I managed to do, wobbly head came with me. :D
Re: Relapse! Coping, Symptoms and Tips.
LOL Darksky. I bet that was a shock!
I wish I could cut it myself. I can usually trim my bangs pretty well, though it's nice to have a pro go in and reshape them again. I'm just too nervous to try the whole head. Though for my last cut, I was looking for a new stylist and the one I went to before this woman barely cut off any hair and then sent me on my way, but when I got home I did notice she somehow still managed it make it noticeably uneven. So I did cut one side to try to balance it a bit.
I'm sorry Carnation, I hope you get to feeling better!
