Blimey, I can say quite happily that I am not, nor have ever been in the grip of a manic episode, the crop happened because it was a precursor to when I shaved my head, so there was only one photo of it (in the interests of full disclosure, I'll put one on of the finished product, but, as I'm NEVER GOING TO DO THAT AGAIN, it was irrelevant to the thread).
It has to be said, I am impulsive with the kitchen scissors, but, it's not a pathology, a woman can just decide to chop away at her hair and not be in the grip of mental illness. I think you do a disservice to both women and people who do have mental health problems with your internet diagnosis there.
AND, I'm only impulsive with kitchen scissors because I have ridiculously bushy hair that can take a great deal of abuse, if it was poker straight & flat I'd stay well away from the home-remedy. I live very rurally & getting to a decent hairdressers is a pain and commitment that, quite frankly, I can't be arsed with.
I go once in a blue moon & say, 'Yay, do that to me', and they do, and it looks great, and then I don't keep it up, and then I get bored & hack away again.
So ALL the styles here are home hacks.
Do not fear for me. But thanks for the concern.

And thank you all for the nice comments, it was genuinely a 'what should I do with this barnett?' thread, but slightly disingenuous because I probably knew I would just hack at it again & see how the dice fell, I was just wondering just how I should hack.
And here's the shaved shot, I was in my right mind then too, life is long & you should probably experience baldness once, just to see how it works for you. (I hated it, wasn't for me, there you go).
