    Wondering what I did! feeling suicidal again!

    L Thank you so much for your reply. I am in the UK so not sure if we have NAMI, but appreciate your reply and comments. I know that compared to others my problems are small, but never the less I am still struggling to not feel responsible for this mess. Take care of yourself too.

    Silence is golden! or is it??

    Thank you for your kind and as always wise words. I will ring the student welfare officer tomorrow, when she will be working.

An...
