There are currently two jars of violet hair dye – Manic Panic – sitting in a box on my shelf. Been kicking around the notion of changing up the doo. Trying on a new personality, letting the chameleon take hold and change it’s stride…
Thoughts?
Hopefully this will perk me up…because I am feeling all kinds of emotional distress as of late.
I personally DISLIKED Manic Panic brand, that's just me b/c you know it's quite often I venture outside of carmel, mocha and blonde highlights
I say you streak. I do. That's what I say. Not sure I am personally a fan of violet, however I am a fan of "if it looks like shit there is another box of dye to fix the problem"… so who cares what I have to say… right?
I use manic panic. XD
Uhm. I think Violet would look gorgeous on you, just my opinion. ^_^ It'd definitely be new! Kind of spunky. Makes me think of Grapes. Yum. <3
I just dyed my hair recently. When I can, I'll post pictures so you can see. (:
Since I don’t personally know you or your mom, I don’t know if I can be a lot of help. But I have a few sunsegtiogs. If you have a friend who already knows how you feel or who you might be able to tell first, you might try talking to your friend and have your friend there when you talk to your mom. Another idea is to look for ideas online; you might find something that sounds right for you. My other suggestion is to write a letter. When I was 17 I was going through some things and I didn’t know how to tell my mom, so I wrote a poem. If writing would be right for you, then just start writing; maybe you could even show her this website and let her know that you feel like you could have Bipolar and that you would like to talk to a psychiatrist or psychologist to try and figure out for sure. Remember, Bipolar and every other mental illness is just that, an illness. Nobody can control it, some people need medication. I try to remind myself that just like people who have diabetes and need medicine, I have Bipolar and need medicine. Don’t ever forget that you are not alone, even celebrities like Demi Lovato have Bipolar. Remember to stay strong.
LOVE Manic Panic! I used the Vampire Red on my hair a little while back, and even though my hair was a rich brown to start with, the red was bright and vibrant right after I dyed it. Now it's a rich burgandy, and I love it!
GO FOR THE VIOLET!
that you should talk to sombeody. It sounds like that’s what you want to do but that you feel like you’re parents have dismissed you in the past and you don’t feel comfortable trying to talk to them again. I would probably feel the same way in your situation. If you can find sombeody like a school counselor or teacher, another adult relative you feel comfortable with, or even one of your friend’s parents that you can talk to, that might be a good idea. From there you can ask them to help you, and maybe they can help you talk to your parents and get you to a counselor or psychiatrist; this will be easier if your parents are there to support you. I suggest this first because counselors aren’t free. If there is nobody else that you can talk to, then by all means see if you can get a hold of a counselor who is willing to take some time to talk to you for a little bit without payment and then maybe they can help you talk to your parents. Even though counselors need to make a living, they are first and foremost there to help you. I am glad to hear that you have never attempted suicide and I truly hope that you never do. Please, if you feel like you want to end your life then go to the hospital or call 911. I won’t lie and say that things will be better right away; you might have to spend some time in the hospital, but look at Demi Lovato and how much better she is doing after spending time getting help. I too have been in the hospital and used to s/h. There is no shame in asking for help, and don’t ever forget that you are not alone. Each and every one of you on here will be in my thoughts.
