  • I'm gross. And stressed about my birthday. Which makes me feeling disgusting/fat/ugly worse because people are coming to see me...which makes me feel guilty for feeling like I want to be alone, which makes me want to be alone because I deserve it. Why is my mind so stupid?

    I find it hard to enjoy my birthday sometimes because my social anxiety kicks in and I can't deal with all the attention and having to open presents in front of people because I hate the fact that they are all staring at me because it makes me panic more:/ stay strong lovely!💖💖

      +Maddie Lucy Opening presents in front of people is so much pressure because of people staring! it's a bit of a horrible circle to be in because I know the people are there because they care but sometimes its overwhelming. Thank you beautiful X

      +Helen Rosell That's so amazing. Well done for asking your friend to tell your dad, that's such a huge positive step forward and takes a lot, I'm proud of you. Keep going. Of course you could have done it without me, you are very brave and strong minded so put that determination towards recovery. Lots of love xxxx

I want to hug you haha! Very, very brave of you to be making this videos. Know that you will be inspiring and bringing hope to people why what you are sharing.

      +Jordan Shaw I don't know what to say... thank you for being so so kind and encouraging. It really does mean a lot to me. Ah being without her this year made me realise how much I didn't appreciate sharing the day with her. Lots of love xxxxxxx

    Sorry to be commenting on one of your videos yet again, but I can totally relate to feeling like this on birthday celebrations. I actually did not celebrate my 19th birthday on September 29, 2015 because of this reason. Spending it alone was miserable, but the thought of going out made me feel even worse. Please know that you are not alone with your feelings and emotions. I admire your openness and honesty. You are an all around magnificent young woman and one of my role models!

      +Emily Yokel You don't need to apologise! I'm sorry that you felt so badly about it that you couldn't celebrate your birthday :( I was with my friends so I had a really good time, I was just so anxious about it on the inside. Thank you for being so lovely and kind to me, it means a lot to me to hear that some people relate to what I'm saying xxx

    Ah Hun, I completely understand how you're feeling. Please don't put pressure on yourself to do things that don't feel comfortable. Relax, breathe and enjoy as much as you can. Before you know it the 24 hours would have passed and you can smile at knowing you did all you could with the friends you love. Happy birthday lovely.

    It's sad your twin won't be celebrating her birthday with you. People love you and that's why they treat you so well on your birthday. You don't look fat or big.
    Happy belated Birthday!

    Hi I have a eating disorder, im 21 and I'm happy I've come across your channel I thought i was the only one near my age with this, hope your doing well and can't wait for your next video, I was thinking of doing a youtube channel like yours talking about eating and my journey not to sure though, that's anxiety for you I guess lol x

      Yh at the moment I have been second guessing myself about lots of things, anxiety and depression is a big part in all of this xx

    I totally agree with what you said about birthdays. do u have any advice for people with anorexia? I love you so much!!!!!💙

    • @LotusLou
      @LotusLou  8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Helen Rosell It's so difficult because anorexia doesn't want you to enjoy the day but I'd say to maybe push/treat yourself on your birthday because you deserve to. If you want pizza, have it. If you want cake, have some. You don't have to binge, just have a small piece and surprise yourself. You are strong enough to do it, you just have to try. Although it will be so difficult you might actually enjoy it too? Also, make sure you're surrounded with people who you feel comfortable with and who understand so that if you are struggling you can tell them. You don't want to isolate yourself on your birthday; spend it with loved ones and take in the positivity for you. Lots & lots of love xx

    Happy (belated ?) Birthday !! :)
    I feel the same about not wnating to get any attention even though I don't have an eating disorder ...

    • @LotusLou
      @LotusLou  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +fida MAHR It's tomorrow! I know a lot of people feel this way and it's sad because everyone around you wants it to be a happy day!

    • @fidamahr9455
      @fidamahr9455 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh sorry I didn't know when you had filmed the video.. :) I know but I actually tend to enjoy other people's birthdays better ...because I can focus on them and it makes me really happy to see other people happy ..( I have no idea if that made any sense..)

    • @LotusLou
      @LotusLou  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +fida MAHR Yes it does make sense. Making other people feel special is great but you need to know that people want you to feel the same way back! xo
