I also live in Stoke-on-Trent. :) Thanks, I appreciate even the word of encouragement. I am trying really hard but today for example I just feel so defeated and hopeless.

I'm trying so hard to stay strong but I just can't do it all the time and I'm so scared of the future because what if it gets worse? I can't even handle it as it is. :cry: Also, hi fellow Stokie!

Hey guys. Thanks for replying. I know that success can take a long time but it's also not guaranteed, and I've had no change in 5 months. I feel like I'm losing my mind and my sanity. Life is so hard. :cry:
