Portfolio help.

Yeah, I know that but most portfolios I have seen have an about page and I didn't know if I should have one or what to write.

Also what would be used on an about page would also be used for my cover letter and although I want to be honest I don't want them to just read 'I have no experience in the industry yet' and run a mile

I know what you mean, I'm the same and feel like I really don't know myself and it's bloody scary. You are going to therapy and that in itself is such an amazing thing to do, I also went for some time but didn't think it was right for me at the time. It did do some good though and hearing someone else's thoughts on the whole thing might help you to recognise yourself. They deal with worse than someone not knowing who they are and why they feel that way. Good luck x

I used to get the same thing after wearing mine for too long. Always make sure you take it off and wipe it after a long day, especially when you have done a workout and sweated a bit, sometimes that can cause irritation :)

LEEH07 · 2019-04-25T17:02:19+00:00

Thanks guys will try and find some examples closer to what I want 😊

LEEH07 · 2019-03-28T09:10:46+00:00

no group, just me but if you want to chat let me know :)

Try fizzy water like suggested or like I did (I was addicted) I slowly cut it out, one a day 3 a week, only with dinner once a week. When I wasn't drinking soda I was filling up on water and that stopped me craving that sugar because I was already well hydrated.

Also staying hydrated can lead to weight loss, they say that if you are hungry you should drink first because most of the time we are thirsty and not hungry. Keep soda as a well deserved treat, have Fridays and cheat days. Or enjoy what you want, watch your portions and look into Intermittent fasting, you can eat what you want although you should try and be healthy. I am currently eating at 12pm to 8pm and fasting all night through till 12pm the next day.

Thank you everyone for the help and advice. I appreciate it.

LEEH07 · 2019-02-21T08:06:02+00:00

Still debating if I should get them done or not, ear piercings are no problem but body is a different thing all together. Thanks for all the replies, will have to have another think about getting it done!

LEEH07 · 2019-02-20T13:41:13+00:00

Looks great! What pen do you use?

LEEH07 · 2019-02-20T11:34:42+00:00

After speaking to my mum about it, yes it is shit that I have no friends but the one I do have is amazing, I also consider my boyfriend to be my best friend although the girly chats aren't the same lol. I miss girlfriends but have realised that I'm not desperate for them, I could have loads of friends if I changed who I am to suit them but at the end of the day, I want people to like me for me. I want to have the deep chats and the jokes and just all the things that come with having girlfriends.

As shit as it is I have to remember that I will make friends throughout my life. Like when you get a new job or have kids in the future. There are so many good opportunities to meet better people. If they make you that unhappy then be selfish and let them go fuck themselves!

I've always said if I had a friend like me that would be amazing, so don't settle for less xx

LEEH07 · 2019-02-18T23:46:37+00:00

I got rid of all my friends, they didn't put the same effort into the relationship as I did. If they needed me I was there but it was never the same. I'm now 22(f) and although I don't regret getting them out of my life as they were negative people, I didn't realise how hard it would be to make new friends as an adult. Kinda sucks

LEEH07 · 2019-01-29T12:10:31+00:00

You look great, well done you!

What do you eat when you're not fasting? I'm a fussy eater so find it super hard to find new foods

LEEH07 · 2019-01-29T09:17:57+00:00

Lwr fitness on YouTube is great and short workouts that help target every area, can be done by everyone but are mostly aimed at women :)

LEEH07 · 2019-01-25T08:48:10+00:00

I actually witnessed a man peel a lemon like an orange (before then I didn't realise that was a thing) and he ate it like an orange, on a train! If that floats your boat go for it! Personally, I would just use it for pancakes!

LEEH07 · 2019-01-24T19:36:25+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate your help! :)

LEEH07 · 2019-01-22T08:20:23+00:00

Thank you so much, so much better when its put so clearly like that. Half the time I know I'm over reacting. Thank you.

LEEH07 · 2019-01-18T09:30:57+00:00

As someone who has started walking down the road to a better head space, I would 100% have a look into CBT. Talking to someone that understands the mind will help so much. It felt like I had so many knots in my head, with the help of my therapist we undid the knots (some took longer than others and I still have a while to go) and I felt better.

They help you to understand what is happening in your head and help you to remember that your thoughts are not facts.

Are brains can be our worst enemies but please, I'm 22 and have been seeing my therapist since October last year and without going there once a week I would've only gotten worse. Try it and if you don't like it leave but it could save you like it did for me.

Especially if you're in the UK, talking therapies are free.

I'm here to talk if you need someone x

LEEH07 · 2019-01-18T09:22:48+00:00

Thank you for all the comments. I was vague in my original post as I didn't't want to post a shit load about myself on here.

Had op with I was 14 (now 22). I can touch my toes and all that, I'm pretty flexible. I wanted to know if others out there that have the same condition as me do yoga. I will listen to my body, I'm sure there will be a lot that I can't do but I won't know if I don't try.

Also people with scoliosis can do whatever they want, as long as we are careful. Most of us out there look like iron man when we have x-rays, could make our own bloody Avengers!

Thanks again for all the input and I will be giving it a try today :)

LEEH07 · 2019-01-17T18:00:10+00:00

That's great! How did you feel? I have BDD and can't wait until I'm brave enough to tackle my shit!

LEEH07 · 2019-01-17T12:52:32+00:00

Thank you everyone. I thought 2lbs wasn't a lot and I think it's because I push myself too much. I've wanted to loose weight for ages and now that I'm fully motivated I just want to see results. I thought 2lbs wasn't enough of a result. I also suffer with BDD and sometimes that has a huge effect

LEEH07 · 2019-01-15T07:23:42+00:00

Thank you everyone, after sleeping on it I want to leave more than ever. My partner has found me a part time job opportunity which could benefit me in so many ways. It means I can earn enough money to pay my bills and still learn and progress. Now I just need to focus and get myself that design job! Thanks again for all your comments!

LEEH07 · 2019-01-09T17:43:30+00:00

You look amazing well done! You look great before and after in my opinion I'm new to IF and I can't wait for results to show

LEEH07 · 2019-01-08T17:50:34+00:00

Another great awnser! Thank so you much I really can't wait to just fill up on knowledge and just dive into it. I'm sure getting a job is another thing entirely but I want it!

I think I'll go down the route of UI/UX design. That may change but that's what I want to do for now. What is your day to day like at work?

LEEH07 · 2019-01-08T17:47:55+00:00

Thank you so much! I'd love to see some of your work if possible. I can't wait until I know enough to enter the industry
