So, I know I’m usually giving advice when I write, and I’ve not been so regular of late. This time I’ve got a question for you guys.
Summer is a pretty fail time of year for me. I get mopey, depressed, tired, and all around less of me during the summer months. I don’t like the heat, I don’t like the bugs, and I especially don’t like that my house has no air conditioning.
Usually during the winter, I’ll sleep with my clothes on and my windows shut, and that works pretty well on average. During the summer, however, I must keep my windows open and sleep at least without a shirt in order to not die of heatstroke within my own house.
That means that I can hear all the bugs moving outside. And since I have long hair, every time I shift, I feel a slight tickle on my shoulders, which combined with the sounds freaks me out.
Now, this isn’t an entirely illegitimate reaction, because I have had things sneak through the screen/bugspray combo and decide i’m a good hiding spot before. However, freaking out at my own hair is no way to live my life.
If you guys cant tell by now, my policy is to never let anything keep me from being my best, and this is getting pretty old. Any tips?

Have you tried tying your hair back/up?
I cant do anything with my hair or it will become unmanageable. Cutting it is also not an option.
And what’s to say that whatever partner I may be with will not also have long hair?
Just want to make sure…is your question what you should do with your hair? Or what you can do to desensitize yourself to your hair?
Being a girl with semi-long hair, I wear a t-shirt (to cover my shoulders) and always make sure to sweep my hair behind me when I go to sleep. I could never stand having my hair anywhere near my face. Instead of tying it, you could try gathering it back and twisting it (updo style) as you put your head down…but not pinning it. This should probably keep it in place long enough for you to fall asleep. One of your female friends might be able to show you how to do this?
As hilariously awkward as it would be to ask “can you show me what you do with your hair when you go to sleep?”, I think I’ll pass… dont need any lawsuits.
I’m wanting to desensitize. I’m sure you know exactly how annoying having sensory issues is. I still cant even wear skin-tight clothing.
