Losing my nail!

I am losing my thumbnail afterall.  It is breaking off in pieces and not growing back :(
I feel like I have a deformity and find myself always trying to hide it from others who are around me.  
It's also a reminder of the time I did it which is when I was going through my divorce. My mind was on that when I sliced it off, not that I am blaming anybody for not paying attention.  I blame myself for not focusing on what I was doing.  I didn't have to cut that day, I could have waited until I was in a better frame of mind.
So I paid for my own stupidity.  Some of life's lessons can be very painful :(
Other that that, this has been a great day!

It\'s a life scar... we all have them - some you see, some you don\'t. No worries - nobody cares about your thumb nail. That\'s all in your head.

I had to comment when I saw that title. I once took a piece out of myself chopping veggies---while watching the SuperBowl. Yeah, not my best moment! Genius I ain\'t... No worries. YOu rae much more than your thumbnail!

Yes, Bob, nobody cares about your thumb, I care about what is inside of you, your heart. I know how it is though, to worry about what others think. Hugs to you and hope you are staying cool, it is hot outside!

You have a messed up thumb. It should make for some interesting conversation. It\'s one tiny missing little part of you that most people won\'t even notice.

Sorry about the thumb nail-I have toe nails that have gone weird-I feel a bit betrayed by my body-but as you say Other than that, this has been a great day-
I will focus on what is good rather than what is apparently not. You\'ve come a long way since that day.

Bob I have never been attracted to a man because of his thumbnail. It is not a biggie in the scope of life. HUGS!
