Just that really... mine is that I feel frumpy and ugly. Having always been tiny, I've gotten to 30 and I suddenly just feel disgusted with what I see any time someone takes a photo of me.

If you could click your fingers and remove a problem you have, what would it be?

Grief and loss of my brother to suicide
Worries about my youngest daughter and her disability.
Boredom of my job- heart just isn't in it but I'm 57 and I need to keep going for the pension.

I'm so sorry for your loss .Xx

Newly diagnosed breast cancer. It's coming off next week though! I also hate my hair, so am having a wild dye job before it all falls out....

I wish I could boost my self esteem and start being more disciplined with myself in terms of having a good routine. I’ve stagnated and been stuck in a rut for quite a while now. Being able to wfh whenever I want hasn’t helped me at all!

I procrastinate something rotten

DH died nearly three years ago, which I'm coping with OKish, but our younger son is not, and I feel completely lost trying to help him.

Money. I got pushed out of a well-paid job I hated and decided to go self-employed which I love but the money is all over the place.

Peri menopausal weight gain. My clothes are all uncomfortably tight but I don't want to buy a new wardrobe, I want to lose weight!

My DC's food allergy. It terrifies me that eating the wrong thing could be fatal. I feel like I've aged 10 years in the year since diagnosis.

Money. Specifically not having enough. Not all of my problems would go away, but quite a few would and the others would diminish in debilitating impact on my life.

I would wish for my DD to have the scales removed from her eyes and realise that she deserves far better than her horrible abusive boyfriend.

Teen with mental health problems.

Dd showing signs of asd and not talking. I spend my days and nights worrying endlessly about her future.

Hiker50 · 06/04/2024 17:16

Fat and lost.
A teen who is horrible.
I'm 50 and mainly ignored at work.
I've just lost two people I loved dearly. .
But I have a lovely dog and today my hair looks nice.

Jobs for my DC in London that pay enough for them to keep body and soul together and leave home.

Giving previous people in my life too much way too much that what they deserved

I feel bad about the time
Money
Effort
Emotional pain
Spent on such useless people who were unappreciative and selfish

Just hope i could get back that time and enjoyed it with my family or even learned something of use

OP i feel you
After marriage i gained 8 KG
And after DC i gained 6 more

All my fancy clothing and jeans don't fit me

I don't feel like my self

But i am trying to tell my self what my body has gone through and how God created us with all these senses
And i thank God for being able to wake up see smell touch eat walk

Whenever you feel bad about your self,

Always remember
The good that it has
Any features u love about your self
How to improve it
Try dancing at home it helps as if its cardio workout but more fun

Don't feel bad OP
We will be better
We will look more like ourselves
We just need this push start
