I realised something earlier. I feel like I've got nothing to offer people. I don't know if that comes from spending too much time on the TM message board and away from real people; it's possible. But I sometimes feel like, unless I've got plenty of money, at least one degree, flash clothes and jewellery, and the means to send my kids to dancing/swimming/music lessons then no one's really interested in me.

I don't have any of those things, I'm an overweight single mother on the benefit, with 6th Form Certificate as my highest *qualification*, and my life is far from exciting. That doesn't make me a nobody though! I'm a person, with thoughts, feelings, ideas, passions and talents, just like anyone else. I have to remember that.

Wow! The first paragraph could've been written by me!

(Actually, apart from the fact that I don't have kids, dropped out of school in 6th form and am not quite 38, it could've all been written by me.)

You can do this.

I relate to that. Us humans are our own worst enemies some times with what we think and how we punish ourselves. I am getting better at this by saying I am someone extremely important I have been given this huge task of raising children it has helped me feel worthy at times I have felt worthless. Good luck finding something to help keep your head high at times you feel worse and thanks for admitting it alot of people wouldn't.
