I have thin hair, but have a lot of it. It does get weighed down and doesn't look good if it's long, so I usually cut the front just below the chin and the back almost to my hairline. I'm less concerned about how it looks when I dry it now because I don't go out. I'd rather be lazy and put it up, but I'm going to make a compromise.
Bizi, thank you for the idea about pulling it up. I'm going to have 2" cut off.

The seroquel business is stressful…
I was okay on a steady 600mg dose of seroquel for a while, but had to go up to 700mg because of PTSD sx (violent imagery) and intrusive thoughts.
I only went up to 750mg because I started having sx of hypomania.
I don't know why the PTSD sx came back when I went back down to 700mg.
I'm not comfortable being on so much seroquel. I'd like to have reserves (the max is 800mg and I'm at 750) and I'm concerned about s/e.

I'll feel a lot better if my blood work comes back normal next month. If it doesn't, I'll probably have to change to a different mood stabilizer since I can't reduce the seroquel and I don't even want to think about what a mess that would be.
