Aside from the usual pulling issues, anger has been my problem this week. Each time I take a shower, I find myself consumed with anger and sadness that the “stylist” cut off so much more length than she was supposed to. I shampoo my hair and there is just nothing there where it should be.
I know it is stupid, and I know I shouldn’t let it upset me so. I know that being angry won’t make my hair come back or grow any faster. More than likely the stress of it causes the opposite to happen.
I try to just breathe through it, let it go, and move on. I try to be reasonable about the fact that it could/should grow back. But that doesn’t help me to put my hair in a ponytail now. It doesn’t help me to cover up the hair piece that I now can’t wear because I don’t have enough length to cover the edges of it. It makes me sad. It makes me upset that I have $120 in various hair pieces that I can’t use at all right now.
In the end, I guess I should be glad to have this problem at all. I could be back wearing wigs again and constantly worrying that the wind will blow that off rather than just showing a bare spot on my head. I know it is all relative, and maybe with it short I will discover something new I can do with my hair that I’d never thought of before.
I just have to figure out how to stop being so angry that this happened. Suggestions?
Aww, i’m so sorry that you feel this way. I have had anger issues in my past as well…. and i know this is really lame but the only thing you can do is wait it out! Only time will make it go away. I also used to get some satisfaction about just imagining really bad things happening to the person who wronged me. I know that’s kind-of psychotic but it helped me. Eventually you run out of really bad things to imagine and the anger just goes away.
Hope this helps!
