I'm in a frenzy...the situation is this:
I've been at odds with my mom lately, isn't everyone, I just moved out leaving my horses at her farm. She got upset and since we're legally over the limit on the amount of horses we have she's making me sell mine. I ride religiously...she's ridden 9 times in the 7 years we've owned them. Also, because I won't do back breaking labor for her daily anymore, she won't let me ride hers.
Riding is my escape...it's what lets me forget all my problems except for what's coming up around the bend in the trail. Whenever I get an urge to do something stupid, I'd grab a horse, throw on a bridal and gallop bareback through the field across the road and it would melt away. Without that I'm not coping well...I had gone over 2 1/2 years without self harming...the disappointment of breaking stride in my recovery is crushing. Worst than what made me do it in the first place!
Does anybody have ANY ideas on a possible next move? I'm fresh out...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
