  • Thanks for your replies. I was thinking of doing some voluntary work in the new year, to give me something else to focus on. I was thinking of helping out in the park by joining the Friends of the Park work group.
  • isnt it wonderful to actually make the plan, to comit to it? i feel amazing, freedom is mine in just over a week :)
  • Crazy-girl what's your plan? Glad your feeling positive.
  • cant really go into details on here sorry

    crazy_girl - please don't think that way. It's not true freedom, is it? True freedom is getting your illnesses under control and not being burdened by them anymore, not your way.

    Please don't commit to your plan. You are loved, I know it. :(

    CG if you mean what I think you mean, then I'm with Jaz on this.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    I don't think it's the best idea, at all.:( Please reconsider; I don't like the idea of a friend leaving.

    CG as you know I was there a few weeks ago. I was convinced I was doint the right thing and furious when it didn't work.
    I have a great husband who tries his best to support me and I have to go and see my GP every week. I won't lie to you and say it will all be ok, everyday is a struggle and I think about it a lot but I also know how badly it would affect my family, I saw what I did to them last time.
    Please feel free to pm me if you like, I know there are things we can't say on here.

    We would miss you and I'm sure Barky would too and it sounds like you have a great husband.
