Me

It's been a bit of a year. I know we have all been through them and I never thought this one would end. 
I was bullied at work in 2014 by a very senior member of the company and I knew it was because I no longer had "the look" required (too old) after 19 years of my life. It took a toll on me that I could never have imagined, my self esteem and confidence were shot to pieces and I found myself under the heading of "Depression & Anxiety". I couldn't go to work, couldn't leave the house, switched my phone off for weeks at a time, went to sleep classes, anxiety classes and did CBT therapy. 
I honestly don't know how I lost myself because of a bully and I used to question my mentality, my lack of strength in myself and at times I was more angry with myself for being weak than I was with the man that bullied me. 
Anyway, everything has a beginning and an end, that time is behind me, my grievance/appeal were unfounded regardless of witness statements, character statements and the fact that he had treated other managers in other stores exactly the same, but you can't be a big company and find your Head of Retail Development guilty of bullying and intimidation can you...

So I'm here, and I always say that out of every negative there is a positive and the positive that came is that; I have set up my own online company selling beautiful lingerie from Europe www.bluevelvet.uk.com and I'm very proud of myself. I launched it November and I am currently job searching as I obviously have to support myself whilst BV takes off and becomes the "next" best thing xxx
Sorry if I've bored you guys but I wanted to end this year in the best place and start 2016 with the best feeling in my heart knowing that my future is bright, I have two great kids that I love and adore and the loveliest guy in my life who adores me A.F and friends that I know to be true xxxx
I want you to know that if you are going through this that the road does end, there is a new path, and you will find your strength again. 

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES.
LOVE AND PEACE ALWAYS T XXX
