It so didn’t look good but I somehow convinced myself it did.

This made me laugh lol! Thank you! I really am a natural redhead but it's faded so back in December dyed it - wellll hair took the dye a little toooo well :laugh: - I was using handsoap to wash some of the dye out - and it was the day of a date. Still thought it looked good - few months later someone who had said it wasn't that bad admitted I looked like Carrot Top, bahaha!!

My long hair is still something I hang onto - like a security blanket, but because of the waves/curls/straight parts has to be done or I look like a lion :laugh:. I'll keep it - because I've had shorter hair before and it took longer than the long believe it or not. Thanks for making me laugh @EveHarrington - needed that today. :)

I totally understand the security blanket thing! It’s why I kept my hair long for so long. It was to the point where it was getting caught in EVERYTHING and even brushing it made my anxiety spike. I was just like wtf am I doing? Keeping long hair that makes my anxiety worse?!? Ridiculous. When I got it cut I told my stylist that I wanted a messy cut that took 2.5 seconds to style. I was shocked that he was able to give me exactly what I wanted. Now it takes me longer to pick out the right styling products in the store than it does to actually style my hair in the morning, lol.

I smiled at the first post, I have two.not unpacked suitcases from two.trips and both are now broken. I have a trip coming up soon and I need new suitcase and new hand luggage :(

Has any one else found packing with ptsd is surreal?

I smiled at that one too because all these years I just thought I was lazy. I never put 2 and 2 together. I'm starting to realize how long I actually went undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Also in my dining room of boxes is a suitcase from our move in September. It's still sort of packed. My stress reaction disorder dx was in September... hmmmm ;)

It's not just unpacking it's packing. I cannot remember what I took last time but most of it was weird and random. My suitcase was half empty.

I have found that I have to start packing days to a week before my son and I go anywhere or the same thing happens, but most of it is unpacking for me.

I moved house 6 months ago. I’ve got 3 walk in cupboards packed floor to ceiling with boxes. I don’t even know what’s in them anymore but I’ve managed to survive 6 months without whatever it is. Ha ha

I made a video for my friend who lives on the west coast. I told her I feel like a hoarder, so I filed all the piles I have everywhere. There’s not one place in here that’s in order. Oh I lied. I finally organized a bookshelf. I have too many shoes. They are all piled up in my foyer despite the fact that I have a shoe rack right there. I need to do a cleanse. I’ll get to that one of these days. My friend lagged the whole time she watched the video.

I managed to sort out one drawyer of Horror. Now I have discovered my Under-the-Bed-Hell.
Loads of stuff...

It’s kind of sad how non functional I can be.

I’m trying to laugh about it.

Cuz...well......

Me too! I had to unpack from a trip I took just to pack for the one I am leaving for today...lol. I feel more normal now! Thanks
