RD, Toots,

Thanks - yes I am feeling more positive. For me its very much about disentangling my M from the rest of my life and taking stock there.

When I did I found it was OK, I've made some changes and made much more of an effort to be outgoing and sociable and its improved a lot of things. The biggest shift has been to concentrate on what's going well.

I will also say that as a part time parent I'm much better rested which has helped.


Pink, you ask a lot of really good questions so thank you and in my case don't ever worry about asking too much.

I will do my best to answer but that'll be a bit later today, when I can use NY laptop rather than my phone.
