Two steps forward :)

I have had a few more replies to my post today and it seems that there are still more people that are going through the same thing as me. It is reasurring. For once I feel that not only I am not a complete freak and a nutter but I am completely normal! For a long time I have felt like everone else in the world is completely normal and I am completley mental!I am not feeling that now. I am feeling good! Today I have bought the voucher I need to take a flying lesson. This is significant for a few reasons.... the first is that a flying lesson is something on my list of 'things to do before I die' and has been since 1997; the second is that for christmas and my birhtday I asked all my family to give me either money or shop vouchers  so that I could afford to take the lesson and have since had the money hanging around for almost 8 months and haven't had the courage to get the voucher. So now I am feeling quite brave and happy with myself for getting that far. Big smiles from me :) Today's conclusion is that this site is great and so are all the people within it. With a bit of support I have been able to move at least two steps forward. WOW!
