Thanks you all for the wonderful replies! I am very fortunate to have you all to back me up! Corrine, it would be great to live closer to ya! If I do move up there, we will have to get together! My mom has also had the surgery and so just networking up there would be good for both of us. I don't need vitamins I'm doing ok there but thankyou so much for the share offer!

I was fortunate to get some lexipro for my depression. I hope it helps. I got it from my friend...I know..its bad but I'm damned desperate right now. I have taken it before, and I left a vm with my doc to let him know I started taking it again. I have had it in the past. So I hope he will give me a bag of samples but I'm waiting to hear back from him.

As for the boyfriend...he is really upset about the ultimatum I gave him. At first he thought I broke up with him. I had to explain to him I am on a very tight timeline and my decision will be made by the end of october. He wants a bigger place. He just isnt sure we will be able to find something being that we both are unemployed. I told him we could probably find something but the deposits will be higher. But you never know. Perhaps we can find something owned by a private owner desperate to fill an apt or condo...either way our rent will be less for both of us. I still think he wont do it, if he does, I will be incredibly surprised.

I did apply for some jobs in tacoma area today. There are alot of dispatch jobs up there, and I will go where the work is. Thanks for listening you guys!

My heart goes out to you. I've not walked in your shoes, but I have ended up homeless once, and also had to go without my meds for bipolar at one point because of insurance screw ups.

But I did get through it... and you will too.

Know that your hysterectomy is a MAJOR change in hormones and isn't helping AT all.

Go very very easy on yourself, and take it one breath at a time.

Much love,

Kimberley

Hey friend! I just want you to know that your friends in Vancouver are here for you. For those of you who don't know, Mandalagirl is one of the nicest, sweetest friends you'll ever meet.

Stay strong! You are amazing. Do what is right for you and your daughter. If that means a move to Tacoma, then we'll all be sad, but we understand.

Thanks Big Poppa

I am so thankful to have you, Jenn and Deanne in my life. That is one of the reasons I do not want to leave. But I know I am going to. Greg isn't doing anything to change. I'm not going to put my life on hold for anyone any longer. I just wish it was like a magic wand...but its not Oh well...I guess we just have to take it one day at a time!

Well I have decided to move to Tacoma. My relationship..I'm not sure where I am there but we have some dialog going on where that is concerned so I am getting further with that.

I found an opportunity I cannot look past up there. My mom works for 911 and they have dispatcher jobs starting at 44k a year. So my possibilities of getting a job and on my feet are far greater than staying where I am and drowning financially. The benefits are much better for me.

With that said..Corrine...do you have a support group my mom and I can join when I move up your way? I need to find something!
