Keeping Up Appearances

So after my drastic hairstyle change I was on a high for a little while.
I went to my friend Ryan's place for us to get ready to go out together (he's fabulously gay!) and I was just so confident and on top of the world for a while that he was quite amazed at the change in me. Sadly it didn't last and was obviously one of my slightly more drastic mood swings! Once we got to Brighton to meet Sara my mood hit the floor and I spent the rest of the evening fighting to keep my head above water, especially once we'd got a few drinks down us. I can either be a ridiculously hyper happy funny drunk or the complete other end of the scale in extreme, so depressed, crying, and on very rare occasions driven to self harm/feeling suicidal (but i do mean rare)

I have been on a bit of an up and down roller coaster since then to be honest and again on several occasions have been debating whether or not to go to the doctors about it. Perhaps I'm bipolar? I honestly don't know, but on the days/nights (mostly nights) that I feel so terrible that I think about going to the doctors I have usually forgotten about it by the morning!

So I'm plodding along at the moment :) a bit of a rough time which I am sure I will get through ok, but at times it doesnt feel like it.

New Hair, New Me - hopefully...




Well, today I took the plunge and had my hair cut. The girl who cut it, Hayley, is an old friend from school (well 5 years ago now since I moved away) so that was a bit strange to start off!

She called it a "heartbreak haircut" which is surprisingly fitting and I quite like the saying.


I know it's only a haircut, but when I look in the mirror I look completely different so here's hoping it'll start to help me think differently as well! I've had the same haircut again and again since I was about 14 so it was definitely time for a change and let's hope that it helps! I certainly feel a bit better today after having it done, almost as if the people who I don't want to recognise me wont, or at least they'll maybe think "wow doesnt she look good!" Or "doesnt she look different!" at the very least!


Now if I can remember how to do it I'll upload some before and after pictures!

And a rare smile!
I don't think I have any pictures of me smiling other than this one!
