About six months ago, I almost cut my hair short. I decided just to cut 6 inches off of it instead. It has since grown back to it's original length (almost). Everyday the thought of me almost cutting it bothers me, and I waste a lot of energy thinking about it. Is there any thing that I could do to erase these thoughts and get on with my life!
Thanks.

After my experience sometimes thoughts can occur that are just the opposite of the usual goals and behaviour. I think this is natural, there exist of lot of unknown movements in our brain. I think the everydays pressure needs some outlet.
For me it helps that I can forgive myself for my own inconsisties, bad self estimates and wrong behaviour that sometimes occur. In view of the goal to try to support and to preserve long hairs and to communicate about the hair topic (in different web sites) I found my peace with myself.
Your last sentence is terminated with a "!", not with a "?" as it should be, if it really is a question. I guess there is some angry about yourself. If it should be so I suggest forgive yourself and you will feel better. After all, I am not a psychologist, but I have spend a lot of time with this stuff.

In English, an exclamation point overrides a question mark in an excited question. We don't put both of them. So it's a question. You do fine, Wolfgang; hey, you're German!
Darrin, as for your worries, you should bone up on the two week rule. That's the concept that a longhair never cuts hair without wanting to do it, not wavering once, for two weeks straight. If you have second thoughts at any time during those two weeks, the two week timer is reset. Once you realize you have this decision-making rule in place, you can lay off the worrying.
Thank you for your reply, Bill. Now I have learned a little bit more about your language. I think this two weeks rule is a good idea, if I imagine how many time it needs to get a long hair and how short the time intervall will be to cut it off.
