Mark – I think you are right. I find it quite disheartening to acknowledge that my anxiety will always be there, whatever the life circumstances. I value finding the positive in things, yet my brain’s instinct is to look for the negative.
Thank you for sharing your rule of thumb, and going to note it down. 🙂

Anita – Thank you for the welcome back. I looked back as you suggested on my previous posts; a bit surreal actually, reading how I was doing and seeing how much has changed in myself. Thank you for sharing the points you made, it gave me a lot to think about. 🙂

I thought lots on what you both said and decided to go for it. I got the keys on Wednesday. Can’t move in just yet as I need to buy some essentials first, but hopefully within the next ten days. I am nervous/excited, and feel very fortunate the opportunity has come my way.

My brain is still worrying, and I’ve been getting suicidal thoughts still, despite something positive happening. All of this seems too good to be true – I keep waiting for something bad to happen. I feel guilty for thinking negative things when this is such a positive and lucky thing!
