I'm putting this out there not to fish for compliments but to make all women of a 'certain' age realise that we do not need to prove ourselves to anyone.
Recently, I was criticised quite heavily for my appearance by a woman six years younger than me. I apparently wear the wrong eyeshadow, my eyebrows need doing, I should moisturise daily to sort out the eye bags, my boobs are droopy, and I need to wear bras to lift them. I won't deny this hurt me because it was said by someone I know, not on here, I should add. But this woman's criticism has made me look at myself more and today, nearly a week later, I'm going to say fuck it.
I'm 54 in December and might be a bit saggy and overweight and have the odd middle-aged look about me, but no one...NO ONE has the right to criticise any woman's appearance.
We are all different and worth so much more than we often think.
Talking about suicide is hard. But it can save lives. If you're worried someone you care about is feeling suicidal, here are some tips on how to have that conversation.

Yesterday was just brilliant and I am still feeling so overwhelmed by it and have a lot of processing to do after it!
I can’t thank you all enough for all your amazing support!
A subject not spoken about near enough, and like Jeff Stelling anyone that has had personal experiences with ED’s would know that there is absolutely no where near enough support out there. Action is needed! #DumpTheScales
@PookyH Incredible Pooky!!! Been thinking lately of mindset/ motivation and Autism. How easy is it for those who think literally to develop a growth mindset when it’s not tangible (unless you make it visual rather than changing a thought in your head)?
