You have my sympathy; hope everything improves from now on.

We're all with you, Jojo.

good luck jojo. keep your head high. look, the sun is shining!

sorry to hear you are going through so much JoJo. Ending a relationship, even if its for the best ( especially if its for the best) is always so hard. We are all here for you.

I'm sorry, hope it all gets better soon. It's tough enough just doing the PhD on its own! Cyber hugs.

thanks everyone for your support. you bring a smile on my face when i log on and see all your posts.

yes - i will get through this - sooner rather than later. i managed to read halfway through an article today. thats good for a start. i will keep you posted on how i get on.

just letting you know i really appreciate all your support.

thanks

cyber hugs to everyone.

Good for you for starting back on article reading after such a traumatic weekend. I think it can be so hard to focus when your mind is obviously on other things...so good for you! You are gonna be JUST FINE!!!! Sometimes in sort of low moments, the message ( yes, this is sort of sappy but the sentiment works) from a Dolly Parton song, Hard Candy Christmas is good--times are tough, but she is going to make it anyway...here is a link to the lyrics if you want. http://www.lyricsfreak.com/d/dolly+parton/hard+candy+christmas_20041836.html

no idea if this is your taste in music at all--but there is nothing better for listening ( and crying along to if you want) to when you have ended a relationship than this--Dolly Parton, Even the Grass is Blue. No I am not ( contrary to what appearances may be!) usually a fan of any sort, but oh, this album, its BRILLIANT!!!!

thanks olivia. i will check it out.
