So, after regaling you with my depressed feelings at the weekend – sorry about that. Today, well some of today, was better. First things first, thank you. Becca and Karen – your kind words were so appreciated at a low point. I'm really grateful that you took the time to encourage me. I don’t get upset that often, but when I do, it can be spectacular!
Work was mad today. As usual I am trying to do much in an unrealistic timeframe. But that’s what I’m like really. But I got back late today from work and just was in the mood to do the whole works. So I shaved, put on my glad rags, took ages to put on my make up and really enjoyed doing it. Ate pasta and had a nice bottle of wine. Whiled away the time watching TV, responding to a few emails, chatting to friends. Vacuousness alert: friends are really fantastic, I really love them!
Anyway: at the risk of sounding schizophrenic – sometimes being Rhiannon is the best thing in the world. Challenging and in many ways difficult to accept. Always hard when the look isn’t completely what I want, but its still better than being a boring old boy anyday. And feeling normal in a dress is priceless. I wish it would be more than a few hours at a time.
I am glad that my words can help - you know that many of us go through periods of self doubt and what makes it harder is that often we are isolated to a great extent. Its not as if we can go to out freinds or collagues and say I hate the way I look is a dress.
ReplyDeleteWe just end up internalising and I know that gets me know where - except depressed.
Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and away you go again !
Hi Rhiannon,
ReplyDeleteGlad things have brightened for you (even if only shortly and temporarily). It seems no matter how low or long the clouds hang in the sky, one glimpse of a sunny day has a way of totally rejuvenating the soul, don't you think?
Much love,
Kate
:o) Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAnd Kate - 100% definitely. I flew off for a long weekend in the sun last weekend. If the sun won't come to you...
It made me feel so much better!
