I am having a meltdown

Jaydaan · 04-03-2009, 11:16 PM

I think I am insane.. or at least having a meltdown... I just cut off 8 inches off my hair, I am still hating it.. everything that move is not making me happy.. and the first place I go.. is here... so... Help?? maybe.. maybe kick me into reality... tell me to suck it up princess and get on with life... tell me I am being stupid, pat me on the back and tell me everything will be ok in the morning....

I don't know. I have officially lost it.....

Your fine. Things are all over the place right now but when you wake up, they'll be right back where they were. Relax. Breathe.

You can out-wait anything. I'm not kidding... Can you force yourself to go into bunker mode, and just hole up for a bit until you feel better?

Things Could be worse , you Could be going thru THIS !!!!

Jaydaan · 04-04-2009, 12:05 AM

Bah.. I am not in tears...as much anymore, so thats good. Thank you both for the kind words.. they did help. I am working too much, and I have much higher expectations of clean in our house than my husband and son do.

I have been needing a change, and maybe tonight's meltdown was the change I needed. The hair..... EEEKKKKK! going to have to go to a hairdresser to fix this, I am afraid.. and bangs?? what the hell was I thinking... oh right I wasn't thinking SIGH!

You and my wife should get together.

No, scratch that.

*sigh*

I'm glad the crisis has passed.

Offer stands, though.

Jaydaan · 04-04-2009, 09:44 AM

I don't melt down often, but last night was a good one... sigh.....

I am not usually a drama queen, but I think just saying I could not handle it on my own helped.
Thanks again

The hair cutting thing. I do that too. (Although I've never had eight inches of hair to cut) I wouldn't say I have a melt-down, but when I'm not happy with things I have to do something. I cut my hair and trim my beard up.

It's making a tangible, physical change to... symbolize other changes that you need to make or which would be made in your environment.

Glad you're feeling better. Get a stylist to shape up your new, shorter hair and you'll be a brand-new, fabulous person! Change is good.

getting the hair cut is better than getting the Regrettable Tattoo.

hang in, baby.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-04-2009, 11:28 AM

Take a picture of the haircut. You could post it here, but if you don't want to do that just squirrel it away for reference. Then when things seem to be building up you can whip out the picture and tell yourself;

Hey self, things aren't as bad as they were then and I got through that OK, so I can handle this shit like a walk in the park. And I've got my Cellar buddies, they'll remind me I can do this, and tell me to post a picture of my tits and shit.

So there you go, make lemonade from those lemons, and we're always here.

Jaydaan · 04-04-2009, 06:40 PM

LOL the hair cut is actually GOOD!!!! I was complimented lots and lots today.. everyone loved it! 3 people I work in the same building as, didn't even recognize me this morning. I was told I look years younger... so maybe my meltdown was the catalyst I needed to change my years old style.

In fact, my hair was the one thing I could change then and there... and I did. I will take a picture tomorrow, (dressed) and I will have to get someone to talk me through posting it.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-04-2009, 06:56 PM

You go, girl.

04-04-2009, 07:42 PM

That's awesome!
