BDD & working from home = unexpected video tasks
I'm having increasing trouble with my work situation because of how I feel about my appearance. I'm sorry if this is rambling and sounds absurd. I just find myself going into full on panic mode every...

Re: What is your job?
I'm a trainee teacher in a primary school. It's basically the complete opposite career to what I expected I'd end up doing. I hated the very thought of it up until last year. Then, after getting...

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
How mortifying today was.
Went to my boyfriend’s nan’s house for a good Friday dinner, with his mum and step-dad. Flushed a tampon down the toilet. Later his step-dad comes out of there telling us...

Re: Small Things You Were Proud of in 2017
I passed my driving test and got a car.
Went on holiday abroad (I'd only been on a plane once before, in 2016, so that was quite cool).

Re: off work with the snow

Re: How bad is your SA nowadays?

Re: Going swimming or to the gym
I went swimming for the first time in about 10 years, last year. I felt nervous beforehand because I don't feel very comfortable exposing so much of my body. I spent a long time trying to find a...

Re: What is your Job?

Re: Split up with partner, devastated.
