Gabbi, How was the house you looked at earlier this week? How are your feeling? How are your kids? School must start soon. Have you started netball again? Things here are going well. This week has been a really good week so far. I am starting to plan my trip back to Australia. My husband doesn't want the kids travelling with me, so he has decided to come. I will be leaving in the middle of June so I can be home for my birthday. My husband will bring the kids when schools out which is the end of June. I am 90% sure that I will be flying through Sydney, maybe we could met. Take care and lots of hugs Sharon

Kelly, Thanks for your support. It means a lot tome. This week has been a really good week. I am thoroughly enjoying working from home. There is not stress and not people to deal with. Netball is a sport played around the world, mainly women. There are seven people on a team and it is similar to basketball, except you can't run or bounce the ball. The ball is similar in size to a soccer ball. Certain people shoot the ball through a hoop, but there is no backboard. How are you doing? Are you able to go to work? I find it better to be at work and doing something than sitting at home thinking about my problems. It is really difficult to go but I know it is good for me. Take care and god bless. Sharon

Sharon, I'm glad your boss is recognizing the problem and trying to help you out. I don't want to sound stupid but what is netball? Whatever it is, it's great that you set your goal to go and stuck with it. That is a very hard thing for us sometimes, and it's always a victory when we are able to do it. Hope things are going better! Kelly

Hi Sharon im glad your boss is trying to help one less worry for you.Try not to worry about the anxiety its probably due to the stresses of going back to work then having to deal with the jealous co worker.Keep playing netball i think its a great release for us i know at times ive had to push myself into going but i always feel better after ive played like ive accomplished something which i suppose in our condition i have. I am going to look at a house tomorrow morning which is very close to my boys school fingers crossed its big enough for us.My parents are bringing my 2 nieces up to stay for the rest of the week since its the last week our summer holidays but i dont know how im going to go cause things arnt good with my hubby and i so we'll see if i survive it.How has your depression been lately?Gabbi.

Gabbi, Thanks for your support. I have talked with my boss and she is organizing some mediation. If that doesn't work then I will look for another job, hopefully closer to where I live. I started netball this week end. It was okay. I am finding that today my anxiety has shown up for no apparent reason. I nearly turned around and came home but I perservered and continued onto netball. I didn't play very well. How are things with you? Take care - Sharon

Hi Sharon sorry to hear that your having trouble with that guy at work he is obviously jealous of you so everytime he does something just tell yourself with a smirk its because hes jealous of how good you are ;).I hope everything else in your life is going well.

Sharon, I'm so sorry you're having trouble at work. It is hard enough for us to feel comfortable at work sometimes without a jerk making it worse! The co-workers that are worth your time will know that he is just blowing smoke, but I'm sure that doesn't make it feel any better right now. I wish I could fix it for you. Just trust your hard work with the program and remember all the things you learned along the way. I'm doing so-so. I am back at work, but struggling. I am sitting here now avoiding the trip to school, but knowing I have to go. I am so frustrated with myself. But I just keep keeping on. If there is anything I can do, you let me know. Kelly

Kelly, Thanks for your support. How are you doing? Are you back at work? This is my third week back and I am already feeling the stress of it all. To add to my stress a guy that I work with doesn't like me at all and he thinks that I took his job away from him, even though it was never his job to begin with and he didn't even apply for it when it was up for competition. I also caught him bad mouthing me to my staff. Sharon

Thanks Gabbi. It feels so good to finish the program and to see how far I have come. I still have my ups and downs but I only have to deal with the depression as the agorphobia, panic attacks and anxiety have all but disappeared. How are the school holidays going? How have you been doing? Take care and lots of hugs, Sharon
