One of my obsessions is battery acid. I think it's a typical ocd obscession. I do not like handling batteries. I used to do it with no problem but not for a few years now. I would wear gloves to handle them. I have notice something in my microwave for a while but keep forgetting to clean it. I finally did it today. I threw away my bowl of oatmeal this morning because I thought I heard a weird noise and then made up stuff in my mind and didn't want to eat it. I took started to clean the microwave and it was a brown greasy looking stuff. Then I thought is this battery acid or what is it even though I'm pretty sure there is no battery in it. That doesn't stop my ocd from believing there might be. There is a few places that it looks like got corroded and looks like rust. It think "rationally" must be some butter that got melted and overflowed and never cleaned so it sat there and caused that to happen. The "irrational" part of me is that it is something dangerous. I put on my gloves and finish cleaning it. I actually do not have gloves on now as I type which is surprising because I do not like to contaminate my keyboard. I thought about throwing my microwave away but I didn't. I have washed my hands alot though because the gooey stuff did get on my hands.
I did something this week that I haven't done in several years. I painted my toenails. I figured I could handle it on my toes because I would not be cooking with them or putting them in my mouth.
I have been trying to find a method to color my hair without chemicals. I tryed a test patch two times with henna. It didn't get the color I wanted. I want to try my whole head but I'm scared. I'm afraid it will do something to me or interact with my anti-depressant (luvox). I have colored my hair with regular chemical hair color but I can't do it now. I am too afraid of long term affects of it and of getting it in my eyes. It seems like henna would be the best choice. I don't like that I have to leave it on a couple hours. I have my 20 year highschool reunion this Saturday. I wanted to cover my grays. I also am going back to school this fall and would like to cover my grays. I didn't care as much until now because I'm a stay-at-home mom so it's just trips to the store, school, sports and so on.
I think I might have wondered if coloring my hair with chemicals would interact with my medication. Regarding the henna, why don't you ask a pharmacist if it would interact with your anti-depressant. If you don't want them to know who is asking (sometimes I don't), you could call on the phone :) Actually, now that I look at when you published your post, maybe you already made your decision. :) I hope your highschool reunion went well!
ReplyDeleteI tried the henna without calling a pharmacist. I didn't leave it on very long though. I think I'll feel more comfortable working up little by little. But, I did do it. I'm okay. My highschool reunion did go fine. It was over 100 degrees that day and in a very small attic in a restaurant so it was hot and noisy. I made myself stay longer than I wanted. I stuck it out.
