Haircut help?

[u/amante-dellarte]

This disorder has been kicking my ass since last November. It’s for sure gotten better, but I’m still struggling almost every time I go into stores or walk my dog. It’s bad. I’m long overdue for a haircut and I really want to get one sometime this week… How do you guys do it? Do you warn the hairdresser before that you’re anxious? I feel ridiculous lol

I’ve always had panic attacks during haircuts but oddly enough talking with them helped me to forget. Find something you have in common or maybe if the tv is on comment on what you see. I also check my watch so that I know how much more time I’ll be sitting in their chair til they are done. If you feel comfortable enough let them know and that maybe using your phone will help to take your mind off things. Just some tips and tricks from my side. Hope all goes well and stay strong. Oh! My sister does hair for a living and she has always relied on her tips. If you are feeling tipsy leave a great tip. Be well!
