    Hi BartGirl

    I read through your diary from start to finish over the last couple of days when travelling. I just wanted to pop in and say well done on all your progress and your fantastic positive mental attitude in the face of everything that you've gone through. You're truly brilliant.

    Just keeping going and everything will come good.

    HI everyone

    Am back again albeit briefly

    I keep wanting to come back on here and update everyone on how am getting on..although if truth be known am just feeling really s*** in general and on a real downer. I dont know what it is but i am very very weepy and feel so so sad about everything and I dont know why
    Even as I am typing this i am crying
    I have lost my appetite and I just dont feel motivated in any way shape or form I just feel fed up.
    I have been snapping at DS unnecessarily and as a result he's started playing up too..which just winds me up even further
    I just dont know where I am any more
    I feel like a failure and like we have no future
    Deep down I believe that things will get better but right now - today - this very moment it certainly doesnt feel like it
    I am happy that GFNs gone but I feel like I have failed and I feel angry that my dream has been shattered
    Call me pathetic and I would agree but thats just how I feel right now
    Forgive me ranting
    I promise in a day or two to return and I shall start again
