new year, new start?

I've been away from here for a few days now, trying to get my head straight and figure stuff out. I've moved to another city and started a new job and am trying to look on this as a way to make a change for the better. I'm not kidding myself that my problems will go away overnight but being busy finding my way around and getting into my new life has given me a bit of respite and I'm trying to use this as a way to get back on track and make some positive changes. Nobody here knows about my problems or my past and so maybe by constantly keeping up the façade of normality, I can convince myself as well as them. I'm cautiously optimistic but terrified of falling off this even keel again.
