Lyn,
I have achieved a great deal since having Anxiety,PD and Agoraphobia.
I returned to Work and worked 1 Year.I survived a horribly nasty Infection in my Spine.I stayed 1 Month with an Aunt until she almost drove me to drink (literally!).After leaving her Place,I stayed with a Sister of my Biological Mother before moving into an Apartment.I lived in that City for 5-6 Month's.
I returned here and within a Month's time,I found a place in a City 1-1 1/2 hours drive away.I lived there for 3 Years.I Graduated Spring '00 with an Associate of Arts Degree and completed 6 Hours Bachelors.
I've lived on my own in this Apartment soon 6 Years.This pain in our Bum turned really nasty on me after the death of my Grandmother and Step-Mother.
I am once again trying to pull myself up by the "Boot straps"..I've got to make it no matter how painful it might become as I don't have Family now.It's just me and my 2 Legs to stand on.
