Hi everybody
My GP tells me he thinks I've got Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or ME. Bit of a shock because I've never really believed it wasn't just psychosomatic. I'm absolutely exhausted and I'm not feeling on top of anything.
I need to say goodbye to this place for a while. Need to spend less time on the laptop and more time sleeping, reading and connecting in the real world, eating my greens and going for walks. It's a good thing- it'll be good for me.
I'm not escaping into a relationship; I'm not reconnecting with my BPDex, he continues to fade into the background; I'm just wanting to try and carry on getting to know myself and getting healthy, looking after my kids and breathing real air, feel thee sun and the rain. Somehow I'm a bit addicted to this place and all of you great people and I need to get along without it if I can.
You are all utterly amazing and I just wanted to say thank you all for all of it and I wish all of you the very best in getting to know yourselves and continuing to grow. It's lifelong and some people never get the gift we got from our pwBPD relationships and this awesome website X

Best of luck to you, you've been inspiring and there for me many times, helpful with so many others, honest, deep, and real. Setting a great example. I had a dream recently where you and I met in an open-air market, bumping into one another and realizing who the other was. We laughed, good to meet, talked a bit and wished each other well, going on our ways. I'm not surprised to read you're heading off into your 'real life' more, you've worked hard in that direction and I'm very happy for you to have made such progress, and to have a positive outlook as you continue on into the rest of your life. I hope your health improves and you get all the best that you deserve. Thank you very much for everything. Wishing you peace.

Hi Maria1: I dunno if you read my post a few ago about making a dramatic change in my life. Well, I just returned from the place I was thinking about moving to. It was a smart move on my part. I'm not going into this without doing my HW.
Regardless of what you decide. Change could be good or bad. But regret is everlasting.
