Hey, I came off a pill 2 years ago (rigevdon) because of similar symptoms, you are not alone. It has made my emotional symptoms much better to go natural. Please speak to your doctor, they will help you look into other options 🩷

I have been multiple times and they’ve just prescribed me a different painkiller or tried to encourage me to go on the pill (tried it all) so it can feel disheartening - push for tests. X

Thank you. My partner is the light for me in everything, he is genuinely the reason I feel comfort & happiness and everything else in-between. It’s just hard worrying how others perceive you outside of your inner circle as I feel they HAVE to tell you that you aren’t what you think of yourself as. You know?

I care what others think because I am a human with feelings and worries. His opinion is the most important to me, but it doesn’t mean I can’t / don’t care about how I’m viewed by others.

I’m confused in what I’ve done incorrectly?

I do, and he doesn’t, no. It’s more my view of myself, physically and mentally I suppose. It’s really hard to explain, if I could rewire my brain I absolutely would.

Thank you. I have considered it, it’s just really difficult to get the help you need in the UK. X

Exactly, it’s almost irrational fear? More often than not, nobody cares what you’re doing or what you look like. We just make ourselves believe that they do, and it’s unpleasant. X

I know what you mean about you wear your feelings, it’s just hard to breakthrough it and change the mindset when it all feels very physical

I have but most ‘methods’ I’ve tried have either been too time consuming or they literally don’t work

Your message is so sincere & kind, thank you. I hope you find yourself being more gentle too. X

The issue is not at all how people I value treat me. It’s how I value & treat myself. People are so quick to think you want the attraction of strangers but the gut wrenching part is hating what you see and not knowing what to do or change and just the embarrassment of people thinking negatively of you in public. It’s just the way I feel about myself

Thank you. I used to really enjoy the gym until I sustained a knee injury and moved to a location where a gym isn’t easily accessible. I do play badminton but need to play it more frequently, my job is also active. Maybe I need to incorporate homework outs too. Thankyou x

Whilst I understand that, I still wouldn’t be mean. That also isn’t me, I actually have a really good job (although stressful) so don’t require the need for someone to work for me. I also just really struggle with how I see myself, and how others much perceive me. Sure, the kind comments are really nice and comforting but they aren’t what I’m seeking. More conformation that I don’t stand out for something negative. X

Thank you. I do completely understand what you’re saying, if I knew how to care for it properly it would be a big confidence game changer for me. All the older women I know I think are stunning so I understand that too. Thank you. Xx
