I just came across an intersting site called Postsecret, where people put their secrets on the internet.

So how about posting up a secret that only you know. Lets see if any Mumsnetters have something really juicy or interesting. Obviously namechange if people know you.

I was a troubled teenager and spent a lot of time skiving off school. Filling the days before returning home was difficult especially when it was cold. A couple of times I broke in to my bf's house just to have somewhere to pass the time. I can't imagine what they would have thought of me had they found out.

I was arrested once when I was 19. I've been asked to read to the children after school in the library because public speaking is one of my skills, but I'm too scared to hand in the CRB check form Blush

I slept rough for a month after my Mum kicked me out at 16 - I am so ashamed so I have never told anyone before.

Also, when DH and I split up for 9 months after we had DS1, I worked as a chatline operator. Again, noone else knows.

NotAnAccident · 14/02/2011 17:02

ssssssssssshhhhhhhh nor was my DS, same as you I've never told a soul Wink

SleepyCaz · 14/02/2011 17:04

I can't be sure, as I've never spoken to a professional about it, but I'm quite convinced I have an eating disorder.

I am obsessed with what I eat. Regimented about calories, I often make myself something to eat, when nobody else is around, and 'eat' it standing next to the bin. I chew every mouthful, savouring the taste, but instead of swallowing it, I spit each one out.

I drink pints of water every day, but get through about 3 bottles of Water Balance tablets a week.

I go to the gym constantly, and do nothing but cardio, and no weights.

I have a pair of trousers in my wardrobe, that I've had for about 4 years. They have ABSOLUTELY no stretch in them, and I use them as my 'barometer' trousers. I try them on about 3x a week. Occasionally they are a bit tight. If they are, I won't eat for a few days until they feel loose.

DH has only a vague idea that I diet a bit, but thinks I'm naturally thin.

I'm not. And I hate it.

RIZZ0 · 14/02/2011 17:10

SleepyCaz this definitely sounds worrying. Are you prepared to speak to your GP about it?

SleepyCaz · 14/02/2011 17:12

I don't know really. What would I say? I don't look or feel ill. Just pretty stupid.

Anonymousbird · 14/02/2011 17:14

I could have posted LeQueen's post, and her follow up.

Exactamundo.

Even DH actually didn't know, so to speak, I just brushed it all under the "effing tired, two children under 18 months, don't know whether I am coming or going" carpet.

It was a terrible time and now I wish to god I had got help.

RIZZ0 · 14/02/2011 17:15

Pick the GP you know and like best at the practice, and tell them what you just told us? I bet having just written it down you must read it back and know you need some help...

Sounds like something born out of anxiety that should be helped, and perhaps it's best to get a professional view before you do make yourself ill, or become set in these ways?

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 14/02/2011 17:24

SleepyCaz, the fact that you hate it is a good enough reason to talk to your GP. It can't hurt to ask, can it?

I'm bulimic and i love it.

I have no desire to stop.

SleepyCaz · 14/02/2011 17:42

Kind words, chickens and RIZZO :) Will give it some thought, I think. Am TTC and kow it is unhealthy.

LadyThumb · 14/02/2011 17:54

I am worried I have throat cancer. I haven't told anyone at all, except Doctor.

Loobyloo1902 · 14/02/2011 17:56

I forged a letter to the Vatican last week to get a discount on ticket prices. I just couldn't be bothered to ask the person who should have been writing the letter to do it so I did it myself and forged his signature.

And he's an Anglican priest.

I'm a nice girl really.

EdwardorEricCantdecide · 14/02/2011 17:57

just marking place for later

BoffinMum · 14/02/2011 17:57

SleepyCaz, hope you get it sorted to your satisfaction. I had a friend with a similar problem and she managed to eat enough to produce a healthy baby recently - it was all about persuading her to look feminine enough and that putting on a bit of weight would not make her turn into her obese mum. I imagine each person worried about their eating has a take to tell like that, different for everyone but just as worrying.

I once let off a stink bomb at school that caused the whole school to be evacuated. I never told anyone and still think it was funny.

nevertellasoul · 14/02/2011 18:17

I have NEVER told anyone this and have name changed to do it here.
I had expensive bridgework donw a while back - cost£1000+. Got a bit pissed one night, it came out I swallowed it. Quick trip to the service station to pick up a load of disposable gloves then spent the next week inspecting every poo to retrieve the bridge which was then subjected to bleaching, boiling water and scrubbing.
Can't believe I have shared - but actually it feels better!!

monkeyfacegrace · 14/02/2011 18:37

I truely love my fiance, but I dream of shagging other men behind his back, and would do if I didnt know the guilt would kill me.

I wish death upon my ex husband, even though this would leave my dd fatherless. I dream of taking a phonecall saying he has had an accident.

Cant be arsed to name change.

I really fancy a man at my work. I know he fancies me to. I'm not going to have an affair but I like knowing I could if I wanted to...
