Dispite the fact i went a new hairdresser today, i came away feeling old fat and ugly
. I didnt like what i saw in the mirror.
Im really struggling to stay afloat.
There seems to be no end insight. Just more of the same.
Not much else to say really.

I'm sorry to hear that @Chris I'm feeling like that myself so I just wanted to say: thinking of you. Some days everything seems futile. I hope there'll be a bit of light in the dark for you tonight, even if it's small.

@utopia @Chris Just wanted to say hello and say I'm thinking of you. Sometimes when I'm feeling of&u I try and look for beauty in the world - just little things like a cloud, a tree - things in nature to remind me that we are also part of nature. Be kind to yourself today.

And yes what ever your name is . It IS that bad right now that is how i feel.
I find your comment offensive. But thats because of how bad i feel right now.
Wisdom isnt making a difference to how i FEEL RIGHT NOW
