Yes I'm okay, thanks for asking Steely! What you wrote really touched me... there are so many parallels in our lives and in the way we feel/think. I hope you feel a better again.
Thanks to all the others too for saying such nice things. It's not always that kind of reaction you get when talking about this topic.
I'll write a longer post when I'm home. Sitting in a crowded bus now and I'm always slightly paranoid someone behind me could be reading what I'm writing.
