Re:It DOES get better, there IS light at the end...

Fiona, I think that snippet of advice should be put into the depression and stressed forum..short, clear and very informative (and love the fact that you put the reference down as well, always the sign of a balanced thinker).

Thx for the your words of support and help.

This really is a rollercoaster ride... It seems that we don't suddenly reach a place & things are miraculously, permanently better...we think we are there & all is sorted then things knock you back again!

I have applied for absolute & am now just waiting. Stbx finally suggested 'no contact' only to then send an email 'warning' me about the danger to my future employability of posting social comments online. I can't see I've done/said anything that I would be ashamed of!!! When will he stop trying to 'control' me?

I continue to be turned down on applications for permanent jobs... last week I was turned down for a job I really really wanted & things suddenly crashed in on me & I began despairing again... so back to the GP & rather than being taken off the ADs, have had the dose increased.

My counsellor says I have had a setback in how I am but that it is cos Im vulnerable at the moment but overall I'm making progress.

Then I saw the latest thread to my post about ADs and yes, you are right, I'm not ready to get rid of all the supports that are in place. It is going to take longer than I had hoped, but if I look at things on the positive side, I am gradually getting there despite the set backs! I just have to hold on to that thought!

thank you. xx
