    *big hugs*

    I found it really helpful to try and spin the situation on its head - the biggest worry for me was the fear of the unknown and that complete strangers were going to be rooting through my life and judging me.

    You've made a really brave and positive first step - you are now back in control and in the driving seat.

    The meeting is a really positive milestone along this journey.

    The meeting isn't about judging you - they'll have seen stickier sitautions than yours - it's about finding the best mutually acceptable route forward.

    If the proposal is accepted - great. If not, there is usually room to renegotiate.

    dotty.
    Please don't worry yourself too much. Easier said than done I know because I was exactly the same and even more so now that my meeting is fast approaching!. Your IP will take hold of the reins from here on in. If you have any concerns whatsoever then get in touch with your IP. That is why they are there. Things WILL get easier and you WILL begin to see the light. Keep us informed of how things are going even if it is just for a good old whinge. We could whinge together!! xx

    Once everything is accepted, I promise suddenly everything looks rosy again. Its not goign to be a picnic for the next 5 years, but its doable - it passes suprisingly quickly. ( I know - I finished mine last year, and got my certificate of completion yesterday!)

    Stick with the guys on this board - nobody judges, and there are lots of helpful brains here

    Congratulations trudij! I am really pleased for you. Best of luck for the future:beer:
