As I laid here on my bed crying my eyes out listening to the fireworks outside, I started to realise that there is no need for all of my sadness and negativity. I read every single one of your posts back to my previous topic. and I want to thank each one of you for taking the time to read all of my moaning and giving me hope to carry on. I just really really wanted to be happy. and I just didn't know how to be.

Thank you for inspiring me and picking me back up.
Thank you for giving me support and letting me see that I am doing perfectly fine.
I know many of you out there probably experience alot of self esteem issues and worry about what other people think. I've always been one of them people, I have my days, but in the end I always realise that I am beautiful how I am. I am imperfectly perfect.
You are beautiful.
Never let anyone tell you otherwise.

    Hi, it's good to hear from you again, and I am glad you are feeling a little brighter in yourself. We have a tough life, one way and another, and it is tougher for you as you are so much younger. We all have our low days, so come and tell us about it and we will do what we can to help. We are also here for the better stuff too - I know that is far more rare but it's true! I like the phrase 'imperfectly perfect', it sums up everyone I think! Take care, stay as well as you can. DD

    Hi Stephiey,

    glad you are feeling more cheerful and positive. Life is a roller coaster - eh?

    Keep reading and posting, it does help to keep life in perspective and to overload with others who understand.

    Hi Stephiey, what a lovely post! I shall come back to it on days when I am struggling to cope. I echo DD's sentiments too.
    Take care.

    Hi, I know it's really not easy to stay positive, but it sounds like you are doing your best, and that's all we can do.. So keep your chin up, and always remember, you aren't alone in this situation.. Keep on posting, and call into Val's cafe in the chit-chat room for some tea, coffee, a chat or I run the DVD library in there.. LOL, free membership to all on here.. :mrgreen:
