    That i'm going to cut my hair. I get anxious every time i'm around scissors. I'm trying to grow my hair out and I don't want to cut but I get urges to. I'm not to sure what it means.

    Just a personal preference I guess...
    And fear not being able to grow your hair...
    Maybe something about personal image?

    Believe it or not this is not that uncommon!!!

    I've come across a couple of people with exactly the same fear.
    It's the same sort of thing as people that when they are on top of a high building or whatever get the urge to jump. They dont want to kill themselves, they dont want to jump as such...they just get an overpowering urge! (Thankfully as far as I know, none have given in!) This is more common in males I believe.

    If the issue is really bothering you just find a small coping mechanism....press your left food hard to the ground whilst thinking "Im not going to cut my hair, stop being so silly!" or something along those lines.

    Sometimes when I'm in a silent room I get an urge to shout very loudly!..but thats another story.

    I get that.
    When I went to the Lake District I had a terrible urge to chuck my bag down the valley side and just watch it. I didn't, but I so goddamn wanted to.
