Brilliant toffeecushion
I can identify with everything written.
At Easter I went to my brothers 5oth party, a barn dance,and watched all the women dancing and being confident and thought " how do you do it? is no-one else feeling like this?"
Yet if it had been 15 months earlier I would have been dancing too. It's not me , it's my hormones!

One day we will dance again, but as she says, for now I will settle for doing the weekly shop :)

Hello toffeecushion.

Thanks for the link.
I agree with everything she said and as we like to say here on MM "I could have written your post".

Take care.

So, so true. Think I'll save that for my daughter.

So very true.

I felt like someone (now I know it was my hormones) turned my inner dial from CONFIDENT/SASSY round to TIMID/SCARED. They made me into a puppet just going through the motions of life, and my strings were getting more threadbare every day.
