Hi Ashley
Thank you for your lovely reply . It is so sad because I think I do have a great capacity to be happy. I am loving and generally very patient with people. I love being with people and being part of their lives. But this thing is eating me up. I cannot get rid of the property I have invested in and every day it costs me more money with endless troubles associated with it. My mental state is poor because there is very little I can do about it. My work is suffering as my capacity is very low. I have very few people to talk to as I find that they get caught up in the practical circumstances about which little can be done. My children are very upset about it and busy with their own lives, so I don't talk to them. I'd rather keep quiet as the people in my life get upset about the practical implications and in the process do not focus on just comforting me - which I think is what I need. I am also obsessing a lot about the problem, spending hours on the internet, looking for a solution, for which there is none.
