shamelessly stealing from a great thread that's up at the moment.

Absolutely fucking wonderful Grin

There was this book I read once, can't remember that much about it (it wasn't a great book) but the main character was asked by a psychiatrist to describe herself in 3 words, and she says something like "5"7, green-eyes, blond" and the psych says "ok" and this bothers her, so she asks her BF same question, and her BF says something like "wife, mother, lover", and she asks several other people and they all give different answers. So it's an interesting question about how we describe ourselves when we pare it down.

I feel I could do "me" in so many different ways, and they're all true and so, so different....

Wife, mother, worker.

Loud, gobby, tactless.

"Fatmommer is amazing" (this was the label of my secret santa gift last Christmas. It's still up on the wall. DH and DD both beg me to take it down. my response is "Famtommer is amazing, it says so right there")

Busy, tired, drunk.

Caring, sensitive, active.

Involved, supportive, wrong.

Lefty, Ill-informed, campaigning.

I'm all of those. And got a stealth boast in. I still think it's an interesting question.

Stubborn awkward intensivist (paediatric intensivist if I was allowed an extra word - not sure if it's a good or a bad thing that my job defines me!)

Redroses11 · 26/02/2016 02:32

The question was not how you describe your current state of mind.

Roystonv · 26/02/2016 02:39

I'm always a pain in the arse, renowned for it! and on a serious note maybe many do feel that down all the time and they are defined by it now
