It seems as though every time I'm going through a depressive "phase" I suddenly want to start changing things about my appearance. A lot of the time, I'll do something drastic without giving it a lot of thought (like getting a big tattoo) and then I'm mad at myself later. I'll want to cut or dye my hair, try new make-up/hair products, buy new clothes...pierce something, you get it. And the thing is, it never makes me feel any better afterwards, yet I continue to do it. What is it they say about the definition of insanity..."doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results? lol

Does anyone else do anything similar to this? What do you think the reason behind it is?
