h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Not so long ago I thought my world had come to an end (again). Depression had me in it's grip, trying to push me over the edge. Hurt and disillusionment ran deep, making me lash out and try to get rid of some of the hurt (and inflict some) on the person whom I'd held responsible.

With the help and support of loving family and friends, I've quickly moved on to a point where I'm no longer reliant on tablets to try to make me feel better. I realise that although it was painful at the time, the break up of the relationship was actually the best thing for me. I want to appologise to my ex for making it public, unfortunately I'm very human and wasn't in the best mental state at the time.

I find it easy to get wrapped up in this "bubble" on hootoo and forget that it's a bubble within an ocean, for anyone to see. I have appologised to him several days ago in e-mail but wished to set the record straight on here and put an end to it, then we can let sleeping dogs lie. He has moved on, and I wish him well in his new life.

Life for me has turned around. I'm happier than I've been in a long time and have a lot to look forward to. Old demons have been destroyed, no longer am I afraid of living alone and coping alone, as I know I have the support and back up of my family and friends who have helped me get this far. People have said that I'm a strong woman, and there have been times when I have doubted that, but this experience has shown me that I am stronger than what I thought.

I know that in time I will meet someone else and finally achieve the goals I've always held:

To love and be loved equally, to work together in a relationship and share the burdens as well as the pleasures and to have a best friend as well as a lover.


One day I might just achieve it, I may take more knocks along the way but
I still believe that that someone is out there for all of us that are still searching.

Thank you to my hootoo family who've been there to cheer me up when I've been down
