    Hey hun!

    I'm feeling like !!!!!! too at the moment. I won't bore you but it's all in my diary if you want to read! :o

    I'm thinking of giving you lot a well earned rest from my posts for a while. I too have money on my brain 24/7 and I need to get away from it for a while to keep my sanity!

    Please don't feel too down. I've honestly found you inspiring. Your constant willingness to battle amazes me and I only wish I had half the fight in me that you have. This world would be a worse place without dottyanne in it, not better. We could do with more dottyanne's in this world! :)

    Keep your pecker up kid! :kisses3:

    Dotty, I'm very sorry to hear you're feeling down today (((hugs)))

    Minnie is spot on... it's always darkest before the dawn... things will get better and you should certainly stick around to enjoy it!

    You're much-loved here and we'd be sorry if you decided to stop posting - imagine how your hubby would feel if he lost you for good.

    Try not to weigh yourself down thinking about the negative stuff, its just a spiral of thought that's hard to escape. Take a good look and see the positive things around you (people who love you, family, friends and health). You are taking such positive steps to work your way out of the situation and you should be very proud of yourself :)

    On a practical note, have you considered discussing your feelings with a doctor because it sounds as if you are really feeling quite down - perhaps some counselling or medication for a short time could help you to get through it. Apologies if this seems inappropriate, just thought it was worth mentioning.

    There are always people here if you need them, don't forget!

    DFW would be a much duller place without you SS.

    Of course we would understand if you really need to leave us for a while, but I for one hope you dont.

    You make me laugh, and laughing is free :D

    Hey, you have come a long way since you were posying about your CCCs interview! Things are moving ahead, but still slowly. Once you strat your DMP, you will feel better.

    It is hard to concentrate on other things, but I am sure that once you know all that is sorted and being taken care of, you will get your act together on the books!

    Maybe give yourself a few days breathing space and think about other nice things!

    It isn't worth getting so down about money. It will all come right!

    Hi dottyanne. I was really really sorry (and troubled) to read your post.

    Please try not to think like that. It's not easy, we know.....but as somebody said on here, you *will* be debt free, this is not forever.

    We love you, our fellow DFW-er.

    Big hugs.

    Hi Dotty,
    big hugs to you. A post of yours was the first post I read that made me post, so i forbid you to leave.
    I know things look bleak now, but honestly, things will get better. The strides you have made in just a few weeks have been really incredible.

    I am always around if you want to email me or something, dunno where you live, but if yer anywhere by Liverpool I can get the coffee on and help with the accounts?

    Anyway keep smiling and remember you are among friends.

    PS Obi is right about eating out of a dogs bowl... the monkey's must have told her. Really, we are next to useless on our own.

    Hi Dottyanne,
    I would like to join everyone and send you virtual :grouphug:. You hang on in there, it is sh--ty now, not going to say it will be better soon, but it will not be as bad tomorrow and the day after tomorrow not as bad as the day before. And if you get a bit down again just come here, we will write all sort for you, probably will not help you much, but will keep you company whilst you are not your best. Come on baby, give us a smile. Come on.:D

    Hey dottyanne

    I haven't posted alot but read about you guys every day. Feeling very sad for you that its all getting a bit much but everyone here is right, things will get better. Life was much easier before acknowledging deft but just TRY and remember its a big step towards getting rid of it and being free of all that worry.

    GOOD LUCK with all - hope things feel a little better now you've seen all the support you have xxx

    Oh Dotty. I'm so sorry to hear that you are feeling this way. I don't have much to add to all the others above but wanted to add my vote of support. You are making great strides and to enter into a DMP takes real guts. We're all proud of you girl. You just hang in there
