To tell you this...

[HeartStrings]

YOU are beautiful
YOU are amazing
YOU are special
YOU are loved

That person who's staring right back at you when you look in the mirror is worthy of a good life!
You deserve to love yourself
You deserve happiness

No matter how depressed, stressed, anxious, angry etc you are today it's only temporary. Hang in there and know the world will sparkle again through your eyes

@gobbynorthernbird some people hate the way they look and it brings them down. Everyone is beautiful inside and out, sometimes it's just nice to hear it

It's a message aimed at anyone in any situation

Thank yOu

Hahahahaha. More twee shite.

Thank you although I don't deserve it

Thanks , but right now I feel the opposite

Oh no

It's the 'dance like there's no one watching' brigade

Sorry but some things don't get better, they just drag on and you get more and more defeated and worn down.

Sometimes you feel shit because things genuinely are shit.

🤢🤮

@gobbynorthernbird 😂

It’s like those crap poems in greetings cards. Completely insincere.

FFS what the fuck has happened to mumsnet?!! I don't need cliche bullshit from a stranger thanks .

Yes,yabu. This sort of shite REALLY pisses me off. You don't know me, or my life.

Words like this only mean something when the person saying them knows you and your life

I just wrote the kind of thing that personally makes me happy when I'm feeling down and I know it can help other people too. Of course it's not to everyone's taste but there's no harm in a little positivity from time to time

"Everyone is beautiful inside and out,"

No they're not.

I’m afraid that when I was genuinely anxious and depressed seeing this sort of thing on social media just made me want to punch a hole in my laptop screen. I had to unfollow people because I found this type of thing was actually making my mental health a lot worse.

It is just bollocks. I know you mean well but don’t tell ‘everyone in any situation’ that everything will be fine and that it will be OK in the end. There are thousands of situations in which this would be utterly inappropriate and downright cruel.

It must be nice for you to think you can fix things so easily but life is not that fucking simple.

there's no harm in a little positivity from time to time

Actually, it is harmful to people in a lot of mental health situations to keep seeing this ‘Yay, you’re gorgeous and loved and everything will be fine tomorrow!’ stuff. It’s a massive over-simplification that just makes their unhappiness seem even worse.

I like your motivation op

I’m with gobby. Inane bollocks. Although it certainly made me smile, just not in a #feelinguplifted manner.

It sounds like the lyrics for Ed Sheeran’s next hit.

🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

life is shit.
your all bastards.
is that better?

Yabvu to post that twee bollocks here.

Hate this patronising twaddle. However, I am a psychopath in a high security prison so probably don't have a beautiful soul.

What a load of condescending tripe.

I was just chatting to a friend about how, after decades, our sexual abuse still affects us. But we are fabulous and we are worth living a great life and your message is definitely true op x

What twee shite.

and

"Today is the first day of the rest of your life". "Strangers are friends you haven't made yet..."

No one 'deserves' happiness. Fucking Disney worldview.
