    Messy - thank you.

    Mushy - you and messy should arrange time/date/place of meet and pm all that said theyd attend, then at least you and messy can have some fun if no-one else can make it.

    Cantcope - your hair looks lovely.

    CG - I have some flowery wellies you can borrow for your new house.

    Slavvy - how did gentist go? (Britney is in the american edition ofharpers btw)

    I hope you don't mind Wannabe but I've nominated you for Post of the Month!! By starting this thread we've all managed to find a place full of people feeling the same who give unconditional support - and it's all because of you....thank you!!!!

    Of course I don't mind I am really touched. Thank you all so much you have made a difference in my life and I am so glad to find others in a similar situation. I was worried that I was a bit of a paranoid freak!!
    It is so great that we feel so safe and secure to talk about our true feelings. I feel I can be 'me' here and no one will judge me but they will really listen.
    Thanks

    p.s hope you all have a good day so sorry i have been away for a few days - work stresses!

    Just a quickie, am just putting finishing touches to THEM and then handing them in. Am goinig to watch some media types at 8.30pm BBC1 falling off horses then drinking copious amounts of wine. Then I will take preventative measures to stop the hangover (huge amounts of water and alka seltza) to continue packing for move into Damp Cottage.
    I would come to the meet up but I must continue to be strict so I manage all this stuff and move next week.:eek: CAN DO IT!!!:T :rotfl: :o
    Love to all,

    Miroslav I am so annoyed with you saying you are hopless and NO the average lady would not laugh at the mention of violence. I know it's tought but have you tried other means of meeting people ? You sound kinda obsessive about the Britney ( oooooh the sometimes video ....) but at the end of the day it's not going to help you meet people if you are sat at home everynight watching Flaunt waiting for a snippet of her. GET OUT THERE , GET OUTSIDE YOUR COMFORT ZONE !!!

    Try not to be too down on yourself > I had a terrible self image problem until not so long ago , having been 23 stone with a long term partner who constantly told me I was ugly and that no-one else would ever want me etc etc. I still don't think I'm pretty no matter what other people tell me but I am gradually starting to realise that people don't stare at me cos I'm sort sort of 5 foot ten, she man freak but that it's because I'm attractive.

    Have you thought about seeing a counsellor to talk about your self image rather than your past ? I also have a very good self help book called 'the confidence to be yourself' normally I would run a mile from these but my relate woman recommended it and it truly made a difference.

    Honey - there is someone out there for you but you need to believe in yourself a bit more , tough I know but you will get there.

    Oh and one last thing - We are all listening , I just wish I could give you a massive squidgy hug this morning x

    I feel hopeless, that's the problem. 1 bit of interest in 14.5 years tells me i've got a problem.

    You like the sometimes video? ;) I am kinda obsessive, but I guess that's because it's safe, I can't get hurt, and she can't reject me.

    I don't go out because i'm bad around people, and I don't like going out at night. A friend years ago was stabbed in front of me, and I never have been able to get past it. I don't even like going to Tesco's in the dark. It's worse than it used to be as I used to walk my ex home from work in the dark.

    Your partner is mean saying those things :( Are you still with them?

    I've informed my psychotherapy group about leaving. They want me to go back one final time to say goodbye. What do you (or anyone else) think? Is it wise, will they try and convince me to stay?

    They know I have a problem with my self image, but I can't seem to get a word in, and i'm not a great conversation starter anyway.

    The crazy thing is, I don't think there is anyone out there for me.........maybe someone extremely damaged like myself, or someone very under privelidged (sp), not that this would make a difference.

    Thanks for the advice

    Now you. We are here and we all care and you can rant all you want.You're part of our bunch and we all like you. Otherwise nobody would reply to your posts. You are the only one to ask for our likes and dislikes (some lazy-reports-cow just hasn't answered yet!). You have been through an unbelievable time and your partner search will be successful. If you are unhappy with going out and crowds why don't you do online dating/chatting. I found my first experience of this was amazement that suddenly what you say is what is important. I much prefer people to know what I think and like what I say rather than just look at what I look like. Many times I have been attracted to people by what they say and conversly gone off people by what they say.
    We will be there coz we like you.
    Hi messy bit busy but will be around a bit.
    Hugs to all

    Have you answered yet? :rotfl:

    I'm not sure about online things :o When I first came online I started speaking to some people over a football board. It turned out a few of the people I spoke too weren't who they said they were. Now this shouldn't make a difference as I got to know the person rather than who they said they were, but they changed once they 'came clean' :o

    [QUOTE=urban spirit

    Slavvy - how did gentist go? (Britney is in the american edition ofharpers btw)

    [/QUOTE]

    Had my crown near the back removed as that was causing 2 inflamations.

    I collapsed last night, luckily I was about to get back in bed. My mouth was bleeding badly and i'd taken anti-biotics and strong painkillers, so I don't know what made me collapse. I hadn't eaten for 4 days so maybe it was that too.

    No pain yet today though :)

    American Edition? :( Looks like eBay USA then for me ;)
