  • Big big hugs (((((Melly))))) Nobody should have had to have gone through what you have. :( You have suffered so much and are still suffering, but the fact that you still approach things head on with confidence and humour, goes to show just what a strong person you are. Head up Hun x x

  • Makes my worries for today seem really stupid and insignificant now I know, so please excuse this somewhat pathetic moan. :o

    Today is my Auntys birthday meal. I'm really nervous to meet new people and am worried about what they are going to think of me. Stupid I know, but it's like I've lost all my confidence in these last few years. :(

    Oh the bruises on my brother weren't caused by being hit they were caused by him being a 4 year old who liked to jump of furniture and the family blood disorder.

    Melly,

    When I read that my heart just broke for you.

    Massive hugs and squishes. You are indeed a very strong and special person.

    Thats why its even more important to be kind to yourself. None of it is your fault.

    I get the control bit totally. And wonder sometimes if I binge eat as form of control to keep me fat to keep men away from me. Also it shows that I don't really care about myself.

    Please be kind to yourself you are a very important person in this little community of ours.

    More massive hugs and squishes.

    Take lots of care.

    Yours

    Calley

    There maybe something in that.
    Read up in the cinderella complex. (women don't feel like they deserve to be loved so avoid good men who care about them for idiots who treat than like dirt)
    I'm paraphrasing but you get the idea.

    Does anyone mind if I delete it now please I feel exposed if you think it will help anyone else I will suck it up
  • I've employed your feel good beauty trick and dyed my hair. After thinking I felt best with red hair, I quickly realised I don't, and have gone back to dark brown.

    Have got my outfit sorted. My nails could do with being painted, I used to have them done almost all the time, but now I don't bother as much and find it a pita to do them!

    Melly,

    Thanks for that. I will read up on it.

    If it makes you uncomfortable then do what you think is best.

    Yours

    It's a fake it till you make it thing.
    If you feel good then you tend to be more relaxed.
