@MJG017 
Thank you so much for your reply M.  You really tugged at my heart strings because of the discomfort you experience in communicating verbally with people.  Since reading your email I’ve only spoken with a close friend who is interstate, so that was not a problem at all, but when I have to get out there in my community this week I think I’m going to be nearly tongue tied with apprehension.

Why does life have to be SO hard ???  I’m asking the universe M, not you, because of course you don’t have the answers either.

My struggles were eased a little bit yesterday, and I’ve kept fairly busy today which helped, but basically the struggles are still there. I’m hoping that the little bit of ease grows by tomorrow and more the day after.  I live in hope.

bye for now M and thanks again

PS: if you are involved in restructuring this site can I suggest the “Email me when someone replies” box be put at the bottom of the email, Tks
