A few of us thought it might be nice to have a daily thread where we could write down our feelings about our self-image. We'll use the daily thread to write our thoughts about our diseases, our body image and how these impact us in the form of depression. Depression really is a "what came first, the chicken or the egg" type of situation. Do we see so much depression in PCOS individuals because of the direct correlation of PCOS or because we have to deal with PCOS on a daily routine? I know that just about everyone with a chronic illness will suffer from depression at some time.
Although I rarely believe that censorship is necessary, I do request that no-one ever states a negative opinion on another cysters post. We can say what ever we feel about ourselves, that is the purpose, but this really is a thread about ourselves and acknowledgement of others is not the goal. Please, only acknowledge in a very positive way or read the post and go on.
I thought we could call it the Daily Balloon. The theory being that, just like a balloon, we state a feelings and let it go.
I will try to open the thread every morning. But, because of my disease, I don't always make it to a computer early in the morning or even every day at times. So, please feel free to start the thread if it hasn't been started.
Let it out! Say what you feel, remembering that your feelings are always, always valid, if not necessarily true. Yup, I know there are always some great things that can be said about everyone
