I'm ready to make the leap. I just wish I had some support in the process. I'd love to hear someone say "I support your decision" as opposed to what my friends are doing-- which is questioning me about it and giving me their (unsolicited) opinions. I'm kind of hoping a therapist would do that.
I'm pretty amazed at the resolution that all of this must have taken - especially without support from family and friends. I was someone who wanted to go into academia but depression, etc, got too bad and I had to drop out. Much MORE than going into any particular career or field though, I wish I had an inner voice that clearly directed me as to where I should be - that is truly invaluable!

Society places a high value on certain vocations and so there is a lot of pressure to stay in them. I hope you find the support you are looking for since you seem pretty decided on what YOU need and want. And agree that three cancellations like that is way beyond the pale!
