I feel like this when I get depressed as well! It's been a recurring thing for years. I read in some trashy magazine (reliable source, much?) that people often identify cutting their hair/changing their hairstyle with a new beginning. I have a feeling they were talking about Britney Spears and her head-shaving, which I guess fits in with the whole depression/hair thing.
About a month ago, I finally did cut my hair quite drastically (though at a hair-dressers, not myself) and for me it's actually been a really positive experience. But I think that's partially because in the last couple of months I have been getting better, so the hair thing wasn't quite so impulse...
And don't feel silly! I always kind of felt alone with the whole hair-cutting thing, so it's nice to know I'm not :)
