What one thing would people never guess about you?

[Thisisit777]

Me - I was shy at school and rarely talked.

You?

I’m looking forward to dying

My mother had me arrested and sent to prison by falsely accusing me of GBH (she was drunk).

I'm secretly in love with someone I shouldn't be.

I hope you're ok.

That a huge proportion of my energy is used in preventing my MH issues from destroying me.

There are some days when I can’t face life; I just sleep.

It is happening more and more since I lost my mum. I’m trying really hard to make myself do things, but sometimes sheer fatigue wipes me out completely.

I am adopted. My birth mother is famous. We have met but it didn't go well and we don't speak now.

I'm a high functioning alcoholic
I have severe ptsd from when the police raided my flat at 2.30am I can't sleep past that time and it's killing me.
I don't think I'll be alive this time next year.
I'm severely overweight and have had a gastric bypass which didn't work.
I hate my dh but am terrified to kick him out.
I've never been happy in my whole life.
Sometimes I wish that I had never survived the rape /assault.

Wow
Sorry bit more than.one thing. Totally cathartic though.

I was abused by my step mother physically and emotionally, my doctor at the time thought I had a eating disorder I was so underweight. I was made to feel worthless, that feeling has followed my the whole of my adult life, now I'm seriously overweight, I never feel good enough to be a partner, wife or mother, made a lot of shit decisions.

Despite this I went to Uni later in life got myself a good qualification, I have my amazing DC, a good circle of friends who all think I am confident and funny, my own home, some days are a struggle still when my feelings overwhelm me.

This post has been enlightening and so sad in so many ways, the feelings so many of us hide of just not being good enough. I hope for all you that next year will bring peace and happiness, you are all important and you all matter

Dh’s business has become quite successful and we are much better off financially.

I haven’t told anyone and don’t want to move to a bigger house.

I’m super curious about the tantric sex parties. If you fancy PMing me details @OnTrain that would be great!

for everyone struggling.

Ok a more light hearted note: I'm a very mumsy looking admin assistant but at the weekends I put on professional firework displays. I don't broadcast it but occasionally people find out and are absolutely astounded that I'm not at home watching antiques roadshow

It is sad that sometimes anonymity afforded greater honesty with both oneself and others. I wish I could recall my truths to those affected as I struggle everyday knowing he could have/could be doing the same to others in my family. I still have trouble classifying what he did to me as abuse though which clouds the issue.

I have an impressive amount of titanium holding my lower left extremities together

and love

I took a lot of drugs and had a lot of sex with a lot of different people in my youth.

Had a great time, no regrets but I’m very much a 2.4 children and a dog type middle aged middle class person now.

I often think about the fact that all the people who made the swinging 60s, erm, swinging are the ones nearly in retirement homes now
