as the person who started the thread, within a few days I was feeling that much better, that I started to feel guilty, like an attention seeker, which then made me feel bad again and worried what people think about me.
I think a lot is to do with realisation. Once I realised that I shouldn't care, and that only a few people on this forum have met me, that feeling subsided, but I still wondered if I'd stirred up emotion in some people.
Reality is, this forum is awesome and made me feel a hell of a lot better about life, it's also pointed out something that I hadn't realised, my misery or low feeling got worse as my exercise decreased. Like I say, realisation is a massive thing.
Friends made me involved in things over the break, so I didn't have much time to wallow in self pity.
