Hi all,

First post here so a little bit of background. I have been working through general anxiety issues for about a yr now. Seemed to be triggered after a long period of illness. Made so much progress over the last year through a combo of medication (30mg citalopram & 10mg propranolol) and CBT but still seem to have major issues over trying to dye my hair.

Before the anxiety it's didn't seem to be much of an issue but since i am terrified I'm going to take an allergic reaction and die. I know it sounds silly but it's what my brain jumps to!

A couple of months ago my mum helped me do it and i felt so faint during it and afterwards had to lie down as i felt I'll. CBT suggested building up to it. So i tried spray in dye last month and although i was nervous i got over it and was fine

But i know spray is different, so tonight i tried to do a patch test with nice&easy demi permanent (only on hair for 15m wooop!!) But i must have had it on the back of my elbow for 5mins tops and i had to wash it off cause i was worried, then a while after sitting on the couch i got this wave of feeling ill but i know its probably just the anxiety :(

Does anyone else get like this? Feel like such an idiot. Just want to dye it bk to normal brunette has i have faded out reddish/purple colour on the go just now and this should not be such a big deal....But someone tell my brain that ;(
