I used to take the scissors and the hair dye to my tresses during what I know now to have been manic episodes. Just recently I got the urge again, and thank God my son-in-law talked me out of it. I love the way my hair looks now with highlights and a good cut (he does these for me) so I would've really regretted it if I had messed with it.

My makeup changes with moods too. I wear only minimal eyeliner and mascara when the occasion calls for it, but I have allergies so I don't wear it often. When I'm hypo/manic, however, that's when the blue and green and purple eye shadows come out...and at 57, those are not good colors. LOL
