Worried About Hairdresser Judging My Long, Unkempt Hair Due to Chronic Illness

Am I weird for being worried that the hairdresser is going to judge my hair. I developed two chronic illnesses three years ago and have been unable to go to the hairdresser's since because of my lack of energy and inability to sit up however, my hair is really long now and my split ends have gotten out of control. I struggle to brush my hair because of my sensitive scalp from fibromyalgia and have lots of knots.

I don't think it's weird for being worried. Anxiety is very real. I can relate to having hair problems. My hair is getting to the point where it's too long for me to maintain myself. Lately, I've been having someone brush it for me because it hurts my arms to be brushing for very long. Also, it's too hard for me to do ANYTHING with my hair, so it's always down. Sorry, I'm not trying to make it about me. Just that I feel the same. I'm sorry you're having to deal with it! It's super tough.
