And it was a sensual experience. The washing, conditioning, towels...all the scents and products and warmth (blow dryer)...all of it.Yet, I was upset because my hair is thick, wavy, and already very dry. The frequent washing was killing it. It was so dry and out of control that I went and got it cut, which is a relief. I think I can make it to Sunday evening without washing it (I washed it yesterday).
My therapist told me, a couple of months ago, that had she not known better she would have thought I was high when I've gone into session manic. For some reason, her words had a tremendous impact on me. I, too, started thinking...considering how bipolar disorder can easily mimic addiction.

It’s crazy that you, Fern, and I all had delusions about water and that is just on one post. I wonder how common that is?!!
