I have OCD & general anxiety. (+ bouts of depression)...and am sure i have AS (asperger's syndrome...a form of autism...my 3 son's are diagnosed with it)

so...have decided to try and make a small step towards trying to get out of the rut i feel i am in....

so am going to have a bath and ACTUALLY put on some MAKE - UP...

I have not worn daytime makeup for 12 years!!!
I would love to have a bit of the 'old me' back...and though i know it's like hiding behind a mask...wearing makeup made me feel more confident then...
