For many years I had low self esteem and was very conscious of being tall. All through school I had to put up with a lot of name calling for being tall, some very nasty names, which, with hindsight weren't that bad, but when you are aged 11-16 and have issues at home too then they seemed like the worst thing in the world. I used to not go out very often or if I did, I tried to hide my height
I also suffered a lot when I was 16 when my dad died and I have guilt issues that I didn't do enough to stop his heart attack.
A lot of these things came back to the surface after I had DS2 (now 15) and suffered bad PND, but through seeing a CPN and having meds I got , I thought, over it.
Fast forward to now.
A lot of people are now calling me by the name of a well known tv personality who is very tall, very daft and had her tv show end on new years day - see I can't even bring myself to say her name.
I get irrationally upset about all of this, DH has tried saying "you know, they say it cos she's funny and they think you are funny". But I don't think they are, in my mind I am back at school being bullied for being 6ft tall. I think they are implying that I am big and stupid and it has started me off again, last night I changed my cover photo on facebook and someone said "Is that ..... in the photo wearing the red jumper (me). I haven't commented, but was very upset and was crying.
I am really pathetic aren't I, getting wound up over this
