My Instagram life is an insta-sham

REALITY IS I'M SAD & ALONE

FAKEBOOK: Behind the selfies and facade of a fabulous lifestyle, she feels desperate

THIS season I've gone over the top posting pictures of my sparkling Christmas tree and festive food.

My followers gush my life looks magical and I'm the luckiest woman alive - but I've never felt more empty inside.

I aim to post a positive story a day. But the fake smile slips from my lips the minute my phone falls from my hand.

Unless I'm taking selfies, I rarely dress smartly or bother with makeup. I've even invented a handsome boyfriend and brag about our wild sex life.

All rubbish. I'm a fraud. I thought dumping my ex-partner and moving to a cosy country cottage would make me happy, but I feel alone and vulnerable.
