Scary stuff.
I find with my bipolar disorder that I MUST have plenty of breaks between heavy activity and stressors. If I go on too long without, it catches up to me. I have built up a bit more endurance for such things, but unfortunately I can't and may never again be able to handle what people without such challenges can. It's OK. I don't shed any tears about it. Such self-care is so important.
Yes. Over-doing it can be deleterious. At the same time, "under-doing" can cause problems, too. Let's face it...we're tightrope walkers!
The good thing about nice salons is that they usually offer ice water. Often ice water is necessary for me in order to not sweat from anxiety/stress. I tend to sweat in such cases, which only exacerbates the situation. I did even in the US, but here the language barrier makes it worse. I do give myself some credit for managing, though. But again, I have my limit. Us curly haired gals do understand about that. It's a blessing in one way, and a hassle.
Ahhh...the ice water is a blessing - one of the reasons I do choose more upscale salons. I find water to be essential to my well-being.
How are you doing today, @ BethRags? |
 Thank you so much for asking. I had an epiphany last night. I absolutely love the (original) West Side Story...I've seen it at least twenty times. SO, I was quite excited when the remake came out. I took myself to see the new one last night (I really enjoy movie theaters). The film was spectacular! Voila - today I have not had any panic! I am concluding that I need to get myself out more. Since covid/my achilles surgery I seldom leave my apartment. When I do, it's to medical/therapy appointments or to the grocery store. Traditionally, I've been a more social person. I think the isolation is wearing on my high-strung nerves. Henceforth, I'm going to make sure I do something...going to a movie is excellent...once a month. Something to look forward to, to get dressed for. To be happy - and to be annoyed! (For example, the woman next to me who had a comment for every event in the movie. I did change seats!) Human interaction.
How do you like your hair? How'd the experience go?
