I got up around 730 and I thought to my self I'm going to dye my hair tired of seeing the gray so I did. My friend wrote me which I have been nurves about because I won't want today to fall through fear need less to say. But she wrote me and was like she is so excited and can't wait which made me even happier. So I told my self hay your going to rock today. Going to shower get dressed and put my face on and have fun. Not saying my mood can change later but for now I'm happy. Proud of my self in a way. I want to thank everyone that has helped me through this and is still helping. I'm here for u anytime message me I'm answer. Thank you

I have embraced my grey as a sign of distinction and age. In reality both parents had the gene that makes you go grey at an early age - started at 16 (thanks mom and dad lol). I hated it at first but now I like it. Its fun fooling people on my real age. Have a good time with your friends. Sometimes you just need a day away, or even a few hours ya know

I dyed my gray away for a job promotion interview at another workplace and was chosen to be one of the 3 finalists. I didn't get the job, but I realized dyed hair is a tool for job advancement, whether that's right or wrong. Not getting the job and staying where I am, I let it go gray again, but I didn't forget the lesson.

Glad you're experiencing how it can make you feel better, too. Good for you.
