Hi Nicole
Personally think you're doing amazingly well given all the circumstances. The folk here are amazing and offer some wonderful advice. As you so kindly pointed out when assessing my own sitch you don't expect this sort of thing panning our after all this time (in my case 27 years especially when you don't think you've done that much in terms of "neglect"). So onwards and upwards although there might be some bumps along the way. I've been personally feeling a bit more melancholic recently so much so I'm starting with a new IC next week especially as it's coming up to one year now.

Take care
