    I wish I could move the goal posts,
    You can if you wish hard enough
    but I look in the mirrow and am disgusted by what I see.
    Dont look in the mirror. What are you really looking for apart from seeing if make up and hair ok. What you see is you. It's the you your BF loves change it and BF may no longer like it.
    My Fiance constantly tells me he loves me how I am etc etc but for some reason I am unable to love myself the way I am :confused:
    Dont you trust his judgement? Sad to say you are not alone but in truth if you cant learn to love the person you are you will not truly love anyone else
    But possibly I believe that if I was slim and attractive
    Who said slim was attractive? It can be it can also be downright horrible
    But deep down I guess I know that no matter what I look like I am the same person.
    How true, beauty is skin deep and no matter what you do we all end up wrinkled and ugly but you know what. I know some lovely old wrinklies:rotfl:
    But I am sure I will get over that at some point shortly.
    That is procrastination
    I just want my Fiance to have the best life possible and I don't feel able to give him that,
    I guess he disagrees. he is more likely to be right, accept it
    I even feel his family must be disappointed that he ended up with someone like me. Someone unable to take on the role of a proper housewife whilst working, someone who appears so miserable most of the time, someone who often is too tired to even take care of themselves. :confused:

    Sod the family you are not marrying them. More than likely you man can see through this mask of "I want to be something else" and likes the person underneath. Accept who and what you are and tell yourself it is great that I am who I am because if I wasnt that person I wouldnt have such a wonderful bloke.
    Good luck and now fcuk off and try on a wedding dress, you know Im right:D
    Who I am is not important. What I do is.

    You are right there - it took me years to find a doctor who could help me with my woman's troubles:mad:

    I suffered with PMS since I can remember. It was actually PMDD which is the severe version. I was so bad I got agoraphobia and felt terrified. I turned from being a cute and lovely white cat into Mr Grumpy ginger cat to my family but kept quiet around strangers.

    I was put on Prozac for it and I still argued with men during my bad time. Somehow they knew I was in a bad way and they become very intrusive, which made me feel very angry! All I wanted was to be left alone and mind my own business to get thro it?

    Can any man answer why men do that?

    The only thing that helps is a lovely cat, they seem to know when you are down and have a magical way of relaxing you and making you feel good again.

    I would prescribe them for people with depression (unless you are scared of them or allergic to them)

    The problem I find with GP's is that unless they see something, they don't accept it's serious :o

    I've never had proper friendships with men, despite being a male myself because the ones I meet seem to think they know everything. Alot of females do too, but not as much as men tend too.

    I'm the opposite. I don't ask people anything other than 'how are you?'. If someone seems like they want to be left alone, I just leave them too it. The problem I then have is 'You don't show enough interest'.

    I have 5 cats and they get me through. They are old now and i'm dreading losing them. I fear once they go, i'll have nothing left to get up for :o

    I know, I just think he should have a better life than this. Mind he keeps me alive!! lol
    Seriously if it wasn't for him then I possibly would have given in one day.
    I don't know. My GP had said that she would refer me to a CPN. I went along and they asked me loads of questions and stuff.
    They then said all the info would be put forward against a panel and they would write to me with the outcome which would let me know if there was anything they could do to help - but they also said that this was a service for severley mentally ill people. Which at that point I knew anyway that they wouldn't help as I sensed they were saying I wasn't severly ill. Which I'm not. I am working full time and although it's a hell of a struggle I do manage. Just. lol

    He clearly wants the life he's got. To him, it's a good life. You don't meet many people you love in life, so no point giving it up unless you have no choice.

    Unless you are severely ill, people tend to think you are 'alright'. There is not alot around for people who struggle and need a bit of support. You are either ill, or you are not, in most peoples eyes :rolleyes:

    Have you seen her and can you attend to her? I hope you manage to convince her to get herself checked out.
