Thanks both of you.

Miranda, I'm scared because I have been incredibly ill, more ill than I believed possible, and I know it's going to happen again. That's not a self-fulfilling prophecy: it's the way it goes. And I know that if it happens again I cannot face hospital and I cannot face life, and I will kill myself. That is a fact.

I can no longer imagine myself being able to cope with a normal lifestyle. A vet? Laughable. I'd be struck off. I have been getting worse and worse over the years and it's now reached a point where, although I still have some periods of relative normality, I am seriously unwell. I cannot face my life like this.

I feel desperately sad for my family.

	There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass! Terry Pratchett
