I am sorry you have been feeling fearful Starry but how fantastic you are receiving support to live indenpently of your parents!

I am wondering if preparing for this move has made you a little fearful? I know it would have for me. Sometimes I find when I have one big fear lots of little ones spring up to keep it company, it's like I go into anxiety mode.

It's funny you write about withdrawing a little, I am feeling that way IRL at the moment and I even wondered if it were seasonally linked, like hunkering down for the winter. I do agree with Eskie that it's okay to have space and hibernation time, it's what we need sometimes to sort our thoughts out.

Hope you will keep on in the general progress you are making, it sounds like you are doing really well in many areas.
