Hello 👋

louisa694Senior Contributor

Hello 👋

Firstly I wanted to drop in and say hello 👋

I’m struggling with living my life at the moment.
I’m very quiet person and I don’t really talk to people. I either don’t know what to say because I’m soo dumb or I just don’t feel like talking. I can come across being rude but I don’t mean to.
I feel very lonely. I only have a few friends but that’s it.
I’m sick of being a shy person. I just want to have confidence but I have none.

The lack of confidence is making me miserable.
I feel soo grumpy and I never smile because I don’t like who I am as a person.

Yeah I've done a beauty therapy course so I'm a beauty therapist as well. I specialize in both relaxation and remedial massages.

I've been doing it for 14 years. I enjoy it.

I did my 3 hour shift today. It didn’t go soo great. The first hour it went ok and I didn’t really have any terrible thoughts but the last 2 hours of my shift, I had lots of negative/ bad thoughts running through my head and I was struggling to get through my shift. The 3 hours felt very long. I don’t know what I can do to help get me through it better next time. I have another shift next Friday and I don’t want to cancel my shift. I want to push through it and fight through it.

How was your day?
