Back in March of this year I posted a thread out of desperation. I had let a room in my house get into a terrible state. I felt ashamed and overwhelmed and honestly expected people to come at me about how I let it get so bad.
The compassion showed to me on that thread was unbelievable and those words helped me to make changes not just to my messy room but to other areas of my life also.
Since then there have been a few set backs but I have mostly managed to keep my space organised and I also managed to prioritise myself in other ways by losing almost 3 stone (ketogenic diet) and yesterday i completed couch to 5k. I go and get my nails done again, wear nice clothes and take care of myself in a way I hadn't for years.
I feel like a different person reading that thread now and hearing how hopeless and worthless I felt.
So thank you to the kind strangers of mumsnet you have helped me more than you will ever know.
