Thanks for your reply.

Part of the difficulty is that I live in the middle of nowhere and there is incredibly little to do. I was involved in a few things (swimming and volleyball) but because I've been in hospital so long I've lost touch with it all and besides, it's Christmas, and so a lot of activities have taken a break. I love writing and photography and wish there were groups like that around here but there just aren't!

I've talked to my CPN a bit about this and there's an art group aimed at mental health service users which I'm going to start going to in the new year. It's an hour's drive away but I'm incredibly lonely and it would be good for me to meet people I think.

I hate this feeling of always 'holding out for the future', waiting for things to get better and trying desperately to find reasons it will, but getting there only to find things are exactly the same. I can't outrun myself, it seems.

	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
