    From the bottom of my heart, I thank you all sincerely for replying to me. All three of you have touched me deeply and I cannot express my gratitude enough as to how much you have helped me already.

    I am feeling a lot better at the moment. I’m still very aware of these ailments, but it is nowhere near as intense. I can at least keep it together now.

    I have applied for a provisional driving license for the first step, with hopes of eventually getting lessons. Thank you for that encouragement, Inky and Ashley.

    Moongal when I read your comment for the first time, I was deeply encouraged to go on a long walk that instant, and I felt incredible for it. You are absolutely right that you need to be kind to yourself and ensure you get enough outside time. I knew this, I always have done, I just forgot for the longest time, and I think not wanting to go out only makes things work, makes me more nervous, more shy, more agoraphobic.

    I think you are right, Inky and Ashley, concerning diet also. I’m not being quite as indecisive about my consumption of dairy. Though I don’t really have dairy milk, I certainly have cheese, and I will continue to do so. Anyway, I shan’t ramble on about that anymore.

    But sincerely, deeply, honestly, I thank all three of you for responding to my cries with such delicacy and kindness. Today, I feel I am gradually on a road back to ‘recovering’.

    Take care

    I suppose I forgot to mention that I’m also living out in the middle of nowhere right now, and have done all my life (I have yet to leave home, but I hope to do so later on in the year). Most of the time it is just me and my retired dad so I see him a lot and very few other people. I cannot drive as I don’t particularly want to, yet it is a conflicting feeling because I would be able to get around a hell of a lot more if I could. But I enjoy living without one, seeing the kind of stress and mental demand they can bring about. But I feel very isolated, and with a lot of my work being based on the internet I pretty much all my time in my room, and it becomes my safe haven when I’ve been away from home for a long period of time, which I’m not keen on. I don’t quite like the attachment I have to it, but I know it’s understandable. I just need to move out so I can built a brand new space. I learned the benefits of that living at uni for three years.

    Anyway, yeah.
