Tell us something about you that NO ONE knows!!!!

[CornishTeaTime]

Just that!!!

I can’t, I’ve decided to tell no one 🙂

Anyone????

I go on Mumsnet everyday! 🥴🤣

This is probably not shocking to you all, but to my group of friends it would be!

My husband knows I browse on here at weekends, but he doesn't know I'm on it on my breaks and commute to/from work!

OP you start....

You start, OP.

My secret is that if I were a journalist on a deadline with no inspiration I would post a question like "Tell us something about you that NO ONE knows!!! " on Mumsnet and see what came in.

@CornishTeaTime you first

I once kissed my father in law

Proper snog? Is he hot?

I’m currently making a pros and cons list about whether to kill myself

I enjoy picking the psoriasis out of my scalp and wait for people to leave the room so I can do it.

@Guttedandblue

I hope things improve for you

OMG, me too. I pick my scalp for hours every day. It’s so satisfying but destructive as my hair is getting really thin now.

Waiting for you, Op. Show us the way ...

Oh no @Guttedandblue have you or can you talk to someone in RL? 🩷

I have a condition where I pull my hair out. Only under my hair and very briefly on top of my head. No one knew about it. Happened after a very bad relationship when I was 16 and out of nowhere. I didn't even realise I was doing it until I was at my part time job during college and had my hair in a ponytail to realise I had a bald spot. It's called trichotillomania. It's a form of OCD and a coping mechanism for dealing with stress. I suffered for years with no hair under my head and no one knew about it. My parents did, but mocked me for it and told me to just 'stop doing it'. I would lie when I went to the hairdressers and say I had alopecia. I didn't wear my hair up for 11 years and during Covid, with my now partner, I somehow managed to stop. It grew then I pulled it out again and was devastated. The doctors couldn't help me as it was only a recent development of being a form of OCD.
I eventually told my current partner one night and he's never judged me. I'm currently a year free from doing it and my hair has grown back, which I was told it wouldn't after the damage. I just assumed I'd do it for the rest of my life, but I struggle with wanting to do it every single day. I stopped out of my own sheer will power.

I had doubts about marrying DH. I didn't want to, but was pregnant, so was convinced to go along with it.

I cannot stand my stepson and it would deeply hurt my husband if he knew this. Neither of them will ever know

If you're in Wales, ring 111 and press option 2 to speak to a MH practitioner 24/7.

Yes, thanks. it’s a rational decision for me.

That … I miss my old life

@Guttedandblue please please please reach out to someone irl or call one of those numbers. My brother didn't reach out and we now carry his pain everyday. At the very least try for that one person who loves you xx

I was so besotted with my ex I would have run away with him if he'd asked and left my child behind.
I was in the middle of long term post natal depression at the time.

I talk to myself..

And I always agree 😁

I think about my ex a lot, fantasise about running into him, I want to reconnect. I've been in a very happy relationship for 7 years, but still think about an angry, abusive, manipulative prick. I was so kind, patient and vulnerable with him and he was horrible to me. I need closure... my DH would find this utterly bizarre
