Great advice Cathy
My biggest phsycological issue was I hated people feeling sorry for me then it hit me that I was more at fault than others. I was out of work and out of touch with others. Without realizing it I was setting myself up for a life of self pity. I kept all of my fears inside and each day that went by I was further and further away from my normal life. I think I expected so many friends and family to be there for me but my true growth and happiness came back when i grew up and took control of my life and feelings. Now I realize that it is not their job to be there for me but for me to be there for them. ie...(Brian Hill)
