Hi Mandy et al;
ok, now its out, do you feel any better?(it always seems to help if I blurt
it all out)
Don't keep this bottled up honey, it only makes you feel more miserable.
Please, Please remember we are all here, BUT your FAMILY will always be
there first - talk to them, your mum is right, its a mum thing they know
when something is not right with their kids (especially daughters).
Mandy, about teaching hospitals, I have not been treated in a private
hospital or chosen my own doctors for TM for a very long time - and have not
had a lot of problems with students etc - remember you can always say no,
and they don't seem to get offended, that was how they came up with my
diagnosis.
Be well, talk to your family and us and please try not to worry(I know thats
easier said than done) you are not alone.
Love Karyne
