No one here can look at that avatar picture and know that you are not in your 20's. I always thought until very recently you were my age.
And anyway, I sympathize with you on the creeping depression thing. It has no rhyme or reason, but it affects the way we see everything.
Also, don't discredit yourself by comparing yourself to these young celebutants. Most of them do not wear the badges of motherhood, many of them have been cut up and re-sewn together, some of them require so much spackle that they don't even resemble themselves when it's all over with. And besides that, they too burp and piss in the toilet, get constipated and still have to show up for work looking good, have boils removed, get split ends, pop pimples on their back, pick their teeth, suck in their bloated tummies, etc. They are definitely not of a higher species than the rest of us normal folk.

I don't feel my age though and sometimes I don't act it, but Ricci I think you are beautiful and I'm not just saying that to make you feel better. If I don't have anything to say to someone I just don't post. It's easy for us to compare ourselves to other women....Especially when we are "surrounded" by them here. Sometimes I think "Gawd they must wonder why this old chick is on here all the time". Honestly though, I feel better when I visit my online "friends". I'm still just a girl when it comes down to it. Just an older version. I hope you get this out of your head. I love your posts cuz you don't hold back. Sorry, I tend to ramble. Ya Your probably right Originally Posted by
