It includes having a mentor to help get to the next stepAll i have to do is manage to sit in a room with other people now :eek: It even freaked me out to phone them but at least its not too far away!

Good morning Happy Steppers Crew :hello:
Sorry I sounded so negative in the last few days, stepping has been my lifeline since I became so ill with my depression. When you weren't posting I felt very alone which de-motivated me.
I'm just going through a crisis of confidence at the moment as I am due to return to work in the next few weeks and I feel afraid!
But I'm determined to think positively and chat to my gorgeous hubby over the weekend to clear my head of these negative thoughts and come up with encouraging solutions :dance:

Today I would like to- Put a £1 a day into my 'stash the cash tin' Done
- Put a £1 a day into my 'party tin' Done
- Swim Done
- Update Filofax
- List more Ebay Done
Not on the list but I have also......
Put a £1 in my 'High Maintenance Fund' jar for NSD
Sorted out more of my PHQ cards"One hundred years from now, it will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much was in my bank account, nor what my clothes looked like but the world may be a little bit better because I was important in the life of a child."0 -

Sorry TM6, I've been desperately trying to do my Uni assignments before going away on Tuesday so I've been neglecting MSE quite a bit. I've just sent one, so just 4000 words to go :eek:
Hope you are feeling a bit betterx
