I am paralysed by stuff going through my mind that I can't move on from, mostly to do with my Mum, and am thinking of getting counselling. But admitting it all, as I have been lately to H & BF etc is really helping.

I have fantasy conversations with people I don't like, Endless ones whereby I am witty and clever and cut them down to size very publicly and very urbanely. This is very different to the reality, and actually there aren't many people I don't like. Maybe 3.

I'm secretly scared that everyone just tolerates me, even though I have lots of very close strong friends old and new that I know I could rely on.

I am a loyal friend, and rarely lose touch with people who matter.

Erm mine then....

1. I once had a brief fling with a British actor who is now a famous Hollywood star. (I have told that one before but not for a while)

2. I can play the clarinet but had to stop because I can not abide dry wood (or tissues) in my mouth. Makes my skin crawl.

3. When I once staying at the Boston Plaza hotel we had our room busted in to by security in the middle of the night. It was terrifying and the hotel couldn't give us a reason why it happened.

4. I am phobic of frogs. Luckily it's not something that makes day to day life too bad, so I've never sought treatment.

5. I consider myself religious but don't think Jesus exsisted or any of the bible stories actually happened, so I'm not sure where that leaves me really.

6. I went to Ibiza with 8 girls when I was 18. I witnessed a 'lesbian act' between three of my friends, but I can't remember which ones. I think my brain was too traumatised and/or pissed to remember who it actually featured. So it's weird to remember it now, as I remember it all, just not who was there. I'm not sure that makes any sense at all.

7. Whilst studying for my a-levels I had less than 50% attendance record.

9. I have an obsession with handbags

10. Whenever someon'es pissed me off, I act out imaginery scenarios with that person where I have it out with them and am composed, witty and articulate. I do this over and over and then when I actually see them I end up saying nothing.

6. I want to be liked, but pretty much think that everyone thinks I am a *** as I have very few friends

7. I am very self conscious

8. I have to get waxed every month for excess facial hair (how hideous is that!!!)

9. I pulled a random guy on the M25 whilst stuck in a queue of traffic and he followed me back to my flat and we had amazing ruddies, and I never saw him again.

10. I am at my most relaxed whilst baking or gardening

Blimey this is a tough one...... ten things Hmmmmm....

5. Ive been on Blockbusters (and asked for a 'P please Bob') and Wheel of Fortune (with Bradley Walsh)

6. I have a seaweed phobia, its horrific stuff and whenever I might be swimming in the sea and I see a bit floating towards me I will swim around it.

7. I failed my A levels in spectacular fashion and never got to Uni, however Im glad I didnt go afterall as Ive quite enjoyed my career in the Civil Service so far.

9. I was bullied in primary school to the point of Police involvement as I suffered a kicking and cracked ribs.

10. Im tall, Im fat, I have big feet, but I like the person I am!

Wow Hitchers are pretty musical it seems and I can't believe how many can play the clarinet. All the 10 things are great

1, I am convinced no one likes me and mostly they only put up with me out of guilt / pity (this includes my husband and my family)

2, I would love to go back to work, even part time, but I am very frightened of putting myself out there.

3, I have a letter I need to post to confirm that I still want 1:1 CBT but I keep forgetting as I think I am wasting their time.

4, Mr P applied for me to go on How To Look Good Naked and I got past the first round but no further, this compounded the "I am a hopeless case" scenario in my head.

5, I think I am a horrid person and my inlaws can't be as bad I as think they are (although I am assured they are)

6, I am pooing my pants (not literally, that would be gross) about starting my potential photography business.

7, I take everything personally.

8, I find photo editing very therapeutic & relaxing, I even take my laptop on most holidays so I can tinker.

10, I loathe most vegetables cooked but can eat most of them raw happily.

These are interesting (although I am sure mine aren't)

1. I met my H online, and all the boyfriends and sexual encounters I have had (apart from 1) have all been with people I have met online.

2. I am very shy and always think everyone thinks bad things about me, especially about my size (I am very over weight due to medical and emotional things).

3. I have a huge fear of water being splashed in my face and have panic attacks when swimming if someone splashes me.

5. I inherited 60 grand from a great aunt I never knew I had (but am still very skint due to not working)

6. I regret having to leave university in my final year after slogging through 3 years including a years work in industry. It upsets me that I know I will never graduate from uni and it was my nan's wish that I would (she died before she knew I had left uni).

7. I frequently think about suicide and think the world would be better without me in it.

8. I am the eldest of 6 children.

9. I am addicted to drinking coke zero and dr pepper zero and rarely drink much else.

What play, and what theatre ? <nosy icon>

It was part of a new writers competition and was quite a few years ago now, when I was a teenager.

Owing to my depression I let my writing slide, but I'm working on some new stuff now including a play and a drama mini series. ?
