Tough Day

[Emma_Forbes]

Hi All,

Yesterday was a really tough day but I persevered and got through it - and today I feel really c**p. So what was so tough? It was a full dressing day, the first opportunity I've had for 2 weeks, but everything was a struggle. The makeup wouldn't go on properly. The nail varnish wouldn't behave. Wardrobe malfunctions. So heavy handed I could have demolished a wall just by touching it. Nearly gave up several times but carried on in the hope that it would all be worth it. Then a truly disastrous evening (can't go into details) - finally went to bed tired, unfulfilled and frustrated.

So how about today? Well today, as my shaved body starts to itch in places, I wonder whether it is really worth all the hassle. All the shaving, the expense, the pain, the frustration. I want to be better than I am, but know I will never be. I'm lonely and ignored and pretty fed up.

I know I'll be alright tomorrow and this is just harking back to some bad old days, but I guess I just needed to tell someone how bad I feel. Yeah I know I have much more than many so shouldn't complain and I should really get out of self-pitying mode but just for once I decided not to suffer in silence.

So here's to a better tomorrow - :cheers:

Sorry to hear.

The key lays here IMO

... the first opportunity I've had for 2 weeks, ...
a maybe not so good mood anyway + urge/disere + opportunity + high expectation ---> all messed up.

Emma.

It does sound to me as though you were not in full dressing mood, and it seems as though you were pushing it, to try and get the buzz that inst there, it sometimes works, but when it doesn't you do feel flat.

Perhaps give it a rest and get on with something else if you have other things you can be doing, until you get back into the mood and wow, it will be worth the effort.

I will add you do look pretty in your avatar.

Sometimes you're the pigeon, sometimes you're the statue. It happens to all of us. Hang in there, have a good laugh and come back to dressing when you're more in the mood!

Hi Em
One of the best things about being a member of this forum, is it gives us a chance to 'vent' when we have nobody close to "vent' to.
We can always find someone to listen, offer a little advice and give us a cyber-hug :hugs:

As far as your Tough Day I agree with the others. You may have been pushing to hard to have a good time.
Sometimes we just need to sit down, close our eyes, take a deep breath, relax and just enjoy who we are right now.

And like Tammi said

:hugs: It's days like these which help you appreciate the better ones.:hugs:

Hang in there.

Hugs,

Tammi

Re: shaving; I picked up a "Remington EP1000 Women's Smooth & Silky Hair Removal System" from Amazon. Takes slightly longer than shaving at first and smarts a little more, but it starts to pay off after a few uses.

Hi Emma,

I feel for you. And I understand how you feel. I have been wanting to and needing to dress for months but life (and business) have been tough. I admire you making the effort to dress. Boy, that lonely feeling too when you finally do dress and then no where to go and perhaps just feel yucky!

Then we all hope for the great days. You will have them. Don't give up!

Hi All,

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all the good wishes and sympathy/empathy given. Things are getting better slowly and maybe I'll be better for the experience.

Thanks again

Em
