    I think im going to be a failure for the north south divide :( As much as i wanna lose weight i dont think i am the correct place to tackle it. I am feeling so pants its not even funny. If i could go off now and go somewhere on my own i would, i need to cry but i just cant bring myself to do it because i think if i let it all out its gunna hurt and be baaaaaad.

    But, my friend has just got engaged and im sooo amazingly happy for her.

    Sorry to offload my personal crap on you all, i dunno why but i dont want people to know that im actually feeling this bad because it goes against the vicki grain.

    Bathroom floor moments they were talking about on loose women yesterday, where you just crumble to the floor, in absolute life agony pain, sob your heart out, it defines you, changes you, you always remember it, it makes you stronger, makes you a fighter, realise you can overcome it, better the situation, it is cleansing and releasing, it needs to be done to see the bigger picture, life is for living, sometimes it gets in the way of seeing it all, cry your heart out, it will be the best thing;)

    You unload it vix. We've all felt like that at times, and we're all good at building walls round ourselves to protect us from all the carp. Whether it be binge eating to comfort ourselves or joking about things that are rather quite serious (my defences) . Keep yer chin up doll (said in best Rab C Nesbett voice) and I'm sure you'll pick up again in no time.


    Psst - I could say carry on the ripples just to mess up your team chance, but get them all in the bin hon, the high doesn't last long enough for them to be worth it ;)


    And Victory is right, let it out, it's there for a reason. Get a wee while to yourself and let rip, I can't do the tears but I'm sure my neighbours must think i'm getting murdered at times, but it feels so good to get that scream out :D

    Vixarooni - if you feel the need to let it out, then I agree with the others, you should. I totally understand that the usual Vix is bright, bubbly, funny, positive, fun-loving, and great fun to be around for all her friends. That comes with a huge amount of responsibility for you amongst friends & family. I have the same problem, and understand how you feel you're letting them, and yourself down if you act on how you're truly feeling sometimes. I did it for years and years, and to a certain degree, I still do with most people, but I do have a couple of really close girlfriends, who I can completely open up to, and say when I'm feeling completely rubbish, sad, upset, lost, helpless, etc. Just being able to get it out helps, and they then give you the care and support that you offer them the other 99% of the time. It's not often I need it, but when you do, you must get it.

    Keeping it all bottled up won't benefit anyone, and I felt slightly resentful that everyone else was able to dump their carp out in the open, cry, get angry, be frustrated, disappointed quite openly, but I felt this responsibility to keep it all locked inside me. I bet you're a wonderfully supportive friend to all your mates, and if they care about you as much as you do them, they'd be gutted to think you were putting on a brave face, just to keep them happy. Let your friends be just that; a good friend will support you and stick by you. It's surely too much to ask of you, to not be affected by all the recent emotional changes in your life? Tell your good friends that you've been feeling down recently, for obvious reasons. That doesn't mean you don't still want to laugh and have fun with them, but that some days are a struggle, and that you're struggling to cope. It doesn't mean you aren't pleased for your friend getting engaged either, but the fact that it is another affirmation that it's not going to happen for you right now, having just split with Matt, hasn't helped. Just remember that getting engaged is only fantastically wonderful if it's to the right person, at the right time... otherwise you open up a mahoosive can of worms, and end up with even more responsibility if you have to try to get out of it, and let the other person down (or worse, go through with a marriage you know you shouldn't - 3 of my friends did just that by getting engaged really young).

    Failing that, we're all here for you, remember there's always a place to vent, and share how you're feeling here.

    I know you have a lot going on in your head now, and it's not all just to do with the end of your relationship. Make a list, of all the things that you want to resolve or change, or do. Don't set yourself particular dates to deal with them, but focus on each one at a time, rather than feel you have to keep all the 'plates spinning' at the same time, otherwise you'll feel overwhelmed. Then make another list of all the things that you have in your life that are positive (I can think of lots, and I don't even know you that well: degree, parents, friends, love, etc.). Imagine where you'd like to be, or what you'd like to be doing 5 years from now, imagine how it would feel, and think of what it will take to achieve it. Keep that positive thought in the back of your head, to keep you going when you are feeling down.

    You're young and have the rest of your life ahead of you, you're at the beginning still at the moment, and remember that your life plan will be very different to your friends, and some people settle for less, or want more in life. It's all about what you want now, and for your future.
    One day the clocks will stop, and time won't mean a thing

    Be nice to your children, they'll choose your care home
