My Personal Experience

I’m panicking writing this but whatever, here goes!

So quite a few years ago now while in my first college I really got down and began to suffer from really bad anxiety. Everyone I knew or went to college with seemed to have an opinion on my personal life and it really made me doubt everyone and I used to always question any look I got and most probably misread it and take it for they were looking down on me or thinking bad thoughts on me. It really got to me and sent me into a spiral of depression that seemed to get really bad. The most annoying part of it was it would drive me mad wondering if people were talking about me. I had never dyed my hair or anything. One day after talking to a friend who was a pro with the hair dye, I decided to dye my hair. Not just any colour I wanted it to be bright and shocking. I did this because then I knew for defiant that they were talking about me. I thought that this was a coping mechanism to get control and show that I don’t care what you think. But instead it ended up being a cry for help. I really struggled for months with depression and anxiety. I consider this a dark period in my life. But I came through the other side slightly damaged from my experience but stronger for it. To express this I dyed my hair back dark. This really relates to my project because I did express myself through my hair. Of course I don’t want to delve as deep into it in my project but this is just me showing that there is meaning to my project and I personally do use my hair to express feelings and insecurities. 

funniest part of it all is I CANT STAND THE COLOUR PINK!!!!!
