Wearing makeup is such an issue in my family. I don't know how it started but the desire to wear or satrting to put lipstick on has always been a signal that someone is on the high side. Whenever my mom is sick she always indicate interest in makeup, and when I start battling the high and low demon, I too will start putting on makeup when I way high in the stratosphere.
It was okay when I was schooling or in U but when I started working it become an issue. Wearing makeup has become a "must" thing for women who are working. So the thing is I cannot overcome the aversion of wearing makeup, cause then I am not sure of the state of my mind, am I well or not.
I had even been fired twice because of this. Luckily the place I am working now is not stressing on makeup just dressing, so I am quite comfortable here, even though there are certain grouses. But for me the most important thing I need is good colleagues and the freedom to be myself, which I have found here. I know I have to move on for better peace of mind but I cannot make myself leave the wonderful friends I have here, I guess until they leave I'll hang on.
