My Hair Journey: Part 4!

My Mental Health Hair Journey.

I live with ADHD, OCD, PTSD, Eating Disorders, Major Depressive Disorder(MDD), BPD with Bipolar Comorbidities, Dissociation Disorder, Anxiety/Panic Attacks. Chronic Pain, Severe Insomnia. I am currently being tested for Autism.

MDD/ADHD/BPD Is what lead to this. I share to help others. To end the stigma.

See previous posts for my detailed explanations and pictures. Thank you and GOD Bless!!!

... Read moreNavigating a hair journey while managing mental health challenges can be both a struggle and a source of empowerment. Many individuals grapple with the impact that mental health issues such as PTSD, ADHD, and anxiety can have on their self-image and personal care routines. Research highlights the intertwined nature of mental health and self-care, demonstrating that taking care of one’s hair can serve not just as a grooming activity, but as a therapeutic ritual. For those looking to cultivate a positive relationship with their hair, seeking the expertise of stylists like LaDonna Knutsen can provide not just maintenance, but also emotional support. Additionally, engaging in supportive communities online, or sharing personal narratives can foster connection and understanding among those who share similar struggles. Through vulnerability, people can encourage others to embrace their uniqueness and reclaim their narratives. This journey is not just about hair but also about healing and self-acceptance. Remember, you are not alone on this path; many are walking similar roads, seeking wellness and fulfillment in all aspects of life.

Additional Tips🥰: keep it simple and only use silk hair ties and claw clips to prevent breakage!! Get trims every 6 months and don’t forget to drink 3 liters of water every day this also plays a major factor into growing hair! Remember, this is not gonna be an overnight journey!! #hair growth 😏
