A female United Kingdom, anonymous writes:

Hi, im having a really low day and I could do with someone out there to pick me up. I split from my husband almost 6 months ago, and am starting slowly to come out of the 'I feel like a zombie' mode and am trying to rebuild my life. My house is up for a sale and i am hoping that it sells quickly so I can move on with my life. I started doing salsa classes a couple of months ago and really enjoy it, although when I was there last night one of the guys i normally dance with never asked me, I felt really let down. I know its not a huge thing, but my confidence has been so badly shattered by the end of my marriage that the smallest thing can make me feel so worthless and unattractive. I dont want to ever need a man to make me feel whole again, yet here I am letting something like someone not asking me for a dance, get to me?!!. Words of wisdom required please!

maxsteel86 agony auntFeeling beautiful really does start with yourself. Believe it yourself first! I'm sure you are good looking (you wouldn't have been able to get a husband if you weren't attractive right?:-P) After you have that under your belt, just be yourself and dont give a rats ass about if some other guy finds you beautiful. Like you said, you dont need a guy's approval! So go out there, rebuild your life and have a whole lotta fun!!!

You are bound to feel like this on occasions. I did! You get days when you are feeling on top of the world and one wrong word or action from someone can send you crashing back down again. Don't worry this is actually normal, We are all not made of stone. How about a night out with friends. Get your hair done. Why not book into a health place and have a makeover. Anything that you fancy. Treat yourself to a dancy CD. Put it on loud and dance around the house, that used to help me. Get out there and show them. You will get more and more days when you are on top. I've just sent you a big hug! Come on girl you can do it!! I'm backing you.

Take care

xx
