      @Free2Fly I’ve been great actually the time away was good for me doing a lot better feels like I’m healthy enough to be here again sharing and growing and learning from other survivors.

    Guess I am going to make this a public announcement as well.  It is with a heavy heart I have decided to step down from NST/ AS staff to focus on my personal life.  I will still be here on AS and available to listen to anyone should you need a shoulder to cry on, I just need to step down and do some other things at this time.  I want to support and encourage anyone that would like to step up and help out here at AS, to volunteer and do so. It has been an incredible journey. This was a very difficult thing to do. Big warm hugs, and warm wishes to all.

    It’s official I got accepted got all my stuff in for school now to figure out how to pay for everything. Support and advise would be greatly appreciated.

      Congratulations!!!  :throb:

      I'm in the same boat.  I just filled out my FAFSA this afternoon.  It's never too early to do that if you haven't already.  Also, look into state grants and other means of getting some financial assistance. :)  Sometimes they want you to have filled out your FAFSA first, so that's a good place to start.  Wishing you all the luck in the world on your collegiate journey!

      Yay congrats! 

      I echo what Capulet said.  You also may be able to find some small scholarships online.  If your school has a financial aide person, you can also try talking to them; they may have some information on how to get additional funding.

      Make sure to look after yourself and try not to burn out. I have faith that you can finish, without pushing yourself too much. Take care

    And then the dreaded car shopping started. Thought the last time I did this was rough now I have to have someone else test drive everything for me... Alwell getting a new car seems pretty awesome even though I'm sad mine is gone.

      so I guess there's a good feeling even though there's also a sadness that the old car is gone. That's amazing, to see different parts  and allowing yourself to feel happy about the good part!
