I Need to Find Something Constructive to do

[Mystic]

to get out of this funky mood I am in. I didn't do well on my exam today and I feel so bombed out, like a fu*king looser.

I know I shouldn't stop at the beauty store and waste money I do not have especially on straight hair that I never buy/need because it doesn't even fit me..., but I did because I was depressed.

I decided to channel my frustration from a bad grade into something pleasurable by creating new styles with my hair to lift my mood a bit but, that wasn't working either. I ended up measuring my hair - of all things, and all optimism and confidence of ever having long hair went through the door when I saw this:

Last measurement: 8/22/08
Middle: 6
Back: 6.6
Front: 5.5
Sides: 5

15 months later, measurement 10-10-09:
Middle: 8
Back: 6
Front: 7.10
Side: 6

There are so many bigger things in life to worry about than hair. I truly truly get that and I am putting it all into perspective but damn, I am so bombed out right now. I don't even know what else to type, lol!! I think I want to scream!!!!!!!!!!!

Where the hell does my hair go? I do not cut, hair is not falling out on the floor, I dc 2x/week and try to be gentle - I do not even see lots of hair left over in the comb. I leave my hair alone, period! I could literally cry right now, lol.

Oh, I am so sorry that you are feeling this way . I can only imagine how frustrating that must be, and it sounds like this is the worst day for you to have seen it.
I don't have any advise, I just wanted to give you a

I hope you are feeling better today mystic. When I feel bummed and nothing seems to cheer me up, I just take a nap and try to sleep it off. With regard to your hair how do you protective style? People consider spiral curls and twists protective, and they are, in that the hair is not touching your clothes but its still somewhat exposed to the air, especially the ends. Do you hide you ends? When my hair was SL, I found that protective styles that completely hid my ends made a huge difference.
