but there's nobody here to talk to and I just had to get that off my chest.

And I hate myself for being so hopeful when I meet someone I think I could really like.

It's just wanky.

I'm just posting randomly here now as it helps distract. I don't want to contact him.

Why am I such an emotional fuck up.

It was a mutual decision, he feels like there was something missing and I can't stop myself thinking about ex.. now I know it's absolutely the wrong relationship but my life is consistantly poo.. it just never seems to look up.. and yes I am well aware I sound like a spoilt little brat and I know I have a lot to be grateful for and yes I am completely and utterly wallowing in a swap of self pity

have gp apt, think I need happy pills again. think this was just icing on cake for me.

just spoke to him about work.. was OK luckily.. he said I sounded brighter, I said I felt pretty good. I asked if he was ok and he said he was sort of (he cried once last night and twice this morning and even I got as close as I get to crying in front of someone) but neither of us had had any sleep. So not on form.

I seriously do have the worst luck. Everything is fucked up and I don't understand what's going on.

Nothing you can say, don't worry.

Probably will take the pills, think I have some serious self esteem issues. Just want to work on being happy on my own again.. I've had a really bad run.

The problem is, if he or even my xp act remotely interested I know I'll throw myself at the feet. which is really crap. I used to be happy on my own, just me and dd.. need to find that again, need to be strong again and remember that I have all the time in the world.

Don't want to ruin dd's childhood by always being down about one man or another.

Have been very very stupid and will pay the price.

thanks xx

I feel like I need motivation to stay strong.. could do with some pointers.

I thought I could write a list of things to do with dd.. I need to make more time for her. Also I thought I could write a list of things we need/want for the house and use that to try and spend less/save more.

I used to really enjoy my dd but haven't being feeling that way lately, she's not having a great time either and we are snappy with each other, she's tired from school and I'm pretty miserable at the moment so need to really focus on turning that round..

any ideas? oh she's 5.
