Mandy,

I understand what you're saying and no offense taken. I have a history of "rebounding" after breakups. It's hard for me to adjust to being alone after a long relationship. I'm especially having a hard time at night when it gets quiet, which is why I try to get on here! You're absolutely right in saying that I need to take some time off for myself. This may sound silly, but I'm scared b/c I'm 27 and single with no kids. All of my friends my age (some younger) already have families. I've heard that a womans fertility begins decreasing at age 27. That probably sounds crazy but it's something I worry about... being single forever! I am pressured from some family members to "hurry up." That is a factor, but my fear of being alone is first and foremost, definitely.

I'm feeling overwhelmed, trying to work on a lot of issues at once, but I'm actually feeling stronger day by day.

Thank you Mandy for being a sweetheart - I appreciate your honesty and understanding.
