To think this is one of the saddest personal stories I've read

It's very sad that her life has gone that way and she has so little self worth :(

Wow OP no need to be so rude

Next week we learn of one woman's struggle of discovering her mascara had dried out...

I got my teeny tiny violin out

I don't think the OP is being nasty in her last post; sounds like she's now having some shit in her life that's made this tattoo crap seem as trivial as it is in the scheme of things...

Titanium, I'm sorry something bad's happened in your life. And sorry that some posters seem not to have bothered reading your update before sticking the boot in

Hope you're doing okay.

Nope. I'm sad I even clicked on the link tbh.
Pathetic, attention seeking is what springs to my mind.
I could write a far, far sadder account of my own life at the moment and none of it is self inflicted

Btw ...

One of the things I learned from rehab/recovery is that each person's suffering is as bad as it is to them. Pretty similar to the way someone who's never had to do an work with their hands will get painful blisters from using a tin opener (I knew someone this happened to!) So, yes, Tass's 11/10 pain may well be an 11 to her, and her unwise tattoos do represent her identity. I can feel compassion for that.

It would, however, be helpful if such individuals could at least make the effort to acknowledge the differences between them and other folks, whose lives have forced them to get a whole lot more tolerant of pain and a whole lot less attached to their identities.

not the most but it is sad, would be nice to hear about her back on her feet and moving on.

Sorry things aren't great at home OP.

I just spent a couple of days with a group of Syrian refugees. That puts quite a lot into perspective.

Thank you for doing that, MrsTP 💙

one of the saddess stories i have read is about a couple called channon and Christopher. Its horrifying im not going to post because its that bad.

Shes a flake and does not deserve an once of pity.

AuntJane omg you are a very strong person

I think I must have sped read to quickly because I missed the sad part.

Either that, or it was self indulgent tosh. I mean, who throws a party in celebration of their own life?

Normally I'd have said yes sad story, but having heard about the 4yr old beheaded in Russia this doesn't even touch the sides right now.

I got as far as the second boyfriends name tattoo and thought what a twat.

Sorry she just sounds like a huge attention seeker

Sad is when tragic things outside of your control happen. From what I could gather, the page kept flicking off, what happened to her was all self inflicted.

Sad for me today was sitting with a woman who had her front teeth knocked out this weekend. Her crime was asking her boyfriend if she could have some money to buy baby formula. Sadder still, this was the second time in the past few weeks I have had this young woman in my office.

Garlicshake Mrs TP Lumpylumpperson thank you.

Imagine a causal shag tattooing a note you left onto her body

She sounds like a self indulgent overthinking nightmare.

YelloRoses - You just keep going. The hardest part was, after he was admitted to hospital at 04:00, waiting until 08:00 to phone his widowed mother 180 miles away to say "Come now!" She arrived about 20 minutes before he died.

And yes, he was at home until the morning he died.

Self indulgent twaddle and I can only presume the writer of the blog gained a release from writing it. I analyse things and want to ask her... after boyfriend no.1 relationship finished, wjy on earth get a tattoo about boyfriend no.2 who was then spectacularly unfaithful to her. And then repeat on and on. No lessons learnt through her life at all.

I can feel some empathy for her but no, not sad.
