Update on my progress!

[rachelle]

Hey everybody,


How are u all?! I hope that u r allwell andworking hard to fight this emet?
I know i havent posted in a long while (dunno whether thats a good or bad thinglol) but i have been popping back on the site every now and again to read a few posts and so forth.


I've been doing really well lately, been going to 6th form fulltime, making myself go out alot, not hiding away in the house if I feel a bit sick but instead going out to prove to myself its all in my head.


I passed my driving theory test last week : ) and my driving instructor has told me im ready to apply for my practical one now too, which is wicked!


The past month or so I've been to a party every week, come into contact with more than enough vomit than I would have liked but, hey, who cares, I survived right? It wasnt me that was ill so i didnt let it bother me. I'm doing more hours at work which is really good and have been left in charge a few times recently - which was scary but pretty fun all the same!


I've started applying to Universities too! And although maybe 3 months ago, I was soooo afraid of going, now... I cannot wait - im so so excited. Plus, not only will I be going to uni, but I've decided that im going to live away from home. (Originally I was going to commute everyday) If every other 17 year old is able to do it then, so shall I! I'm no different from them other than having this emet. I know I can do it, and I will. I know its gonna be bloody tough, but, I'll get through it and I've got the inner strength and support from all my family to cope and to come out of it an even stronger person than I am now.


Wow, my whole outlook and attitude has changed so much the past month or so. If I can do this then so can everyone else. Its all about pushing urself, taking a chance, doing something u've never dared do and feel bloody great wen uv done it and succeeded. We're all incredibly strong, we must be in order to cope with this day in day out.


Anyway I just thought I'd pop and say hello to u all, and see how r u all doing.


Best Wishes, Rachel xxx

the way you're dealing with this is absolutely incredible, I wish I could be more like you and hopefully I will be. I was too scared to go to uni so ive been alone the last 3 weeks while all my mates have started on their courses etc, i really respect you for havig the strength and courage to do so. I hope you continue to make progress you really deserve it.
Love always,
