Thanks Alffe and Doody.

Alffe, I was suppose to start a support group this past week but got a nasty sinus infection. With my bi-polar meds making me have a hangover it is hard to make it to the church I truly want to go to in the morning. The mornings is the only time they have service. I did try one other church by me in the evening but was snubbed by them. My 2 brothers kind of just ignore me, in fact they saw each other last Christmas but didn't come to see me. I was alone all day Christmas and cried all day because there was nothing to do, online activity was about nil, no one to call, etc. I have a half sister across country though I talk to about 6 days a week. I don't work but will be going back to school once or twice a week now that I'm feeling better. The students though there don't fool with me. The teacher is really nice though. On the upside, I hope to join the Y since I got a scholarship there. Also, I eat sometimes in a restuarant where the people are friendly to me. I did meet one friend from school last year whom we've become close with but living far away we only talk by phone unless I go see her. Money is tight too. I try to focus on the good things as I do have a lot to be thankful for even though some may not think so. It was a lot worse in the beginning of my separation.

Doody, thankfully you are divorced from that wicked ex of yours. I have bought some books on trying to help me but I seem to keep putting them down and not finishing them. I'm all pooped now from writing so much to Alffe. Take care and thank you for sharing your story.
