But I think you're getting that throughout that it's also going to be helping you with so many of the thoughts/feelings/emotions which have probably been having a real impact/ are having a real impact on your life? So looking forward to a "new beginning" as you're going through/come through this, right?!  And getting the real support you need at last!!
And going through/coming through what you've already been through, for so long, if that isn't real strength you've shown I don't know what is!!! You have got so much about you to come through/go through this!! OK you might not see it for yourself all the time, but it's absolutely there!! And any support you need, any support we/I can give you.......well you know where to come 
And really glad today is a good day for you!!! You SO deserve it!!
But of course if that changes..........you know where to come!!

Thank you Alison. Oddly enough, my T has been banging on about all this potential I have, how intelligent I apparently am and she is so confident that I will make use of both once we're on the road to recovery. I'll admit, this was one of the parts where I broke down in tears... currently I just don't see it... I'm 37 years old... doors of opportunity have closed and the chances of some career that helps others (was always my dream) seems so unattainable at the moment due to debt accumulated from attempts at previous career moves (student loans). I was training to be a teacher at one point but I spectacularly ****ed that up at the last hurdle... and got the £6000 bill to pay for it
Here I am being Mr Doom and Gloom... and yes, I am starting to hope (today at least).. it just worries me. I've messed up so badly due to my MH, right now I can barely hold down a simple low paid office position.
The one thing I see as a potential is writing... probably fictional to begin with... but that's going to be so hit and miss.
Didn't really mean to put a negative slant on this thread... just very tired right now
