Hi all, I am sort of being hurried by boyfriend to leave as we have to go and pick up some things today but I just came on to read all the responses and it really did make me feel better. It made me all weepy again, but not in a really agonising way so that was nice. Like I said, I have been feeling that way more and more frequently lately but haven't told anyone. As I am a person who ALWAYS talks about EVERYTHING (can't shut me up most of the time), it felt really.. wrong.. to have it just sitting there inside me. I felt like I was keeping a terrible secret or lying to everyone when I said I was feeling alright. I did feel like a weight had been lifted when I wrote it all out and got so many really nice replies. I have decided I am definitely going to try and find someone to talk to once I get home. My mom used to be a clinical counsellor/family therapist so I'm sure she will know someone I can go to. Hopefully I'll be able to afford it, or get some help!.. Maybe I should ask for a counsellor for Christmas.. I am still feeling a bit down today, my head aches from all the crying.. but I slept for about 11 hours last night.. funny how it can really just drain all your energy. There are some replies I want to reply to specifically but can't right at this minute, but I will when I get back home. Again, thank you all so much for being there for me. I tried for just a minute to explain it to Adrian, but he obviously doesn't understand. And he is one of those kind of competitive people who has to say they've had it too, or worse. Like, all he could talk about was the he had tennis elbow for a year, and the doctor didn't know what it was at first. So I think I definitely need someone else to talk to.
Thank you all so much for your kind words and helping me realise I'm not really crazy. **HUGS HUGS TO ALL** --Steph
