Hi Judy,
Your story is similar to my own. To live an autonomous existence is one of my biggest fantasies. (Finding love is another one of my fantasies).
Thanks you for your comments in the above thread just above this one re. the depression and dreaming. If you stay I can see that you will be a great asset to this board so I also welcome you to the board (though I'm relatively new to the board so I don't know if I have earned the right yet to welcome new people to the board)
Your story was very heart warming and encouraging for me and I've got to consider myself whether I am a sqare peg desperately trying to fit myself into a round hole in my current job. Maybe I've got to find a job or vocation that is far more forgiving for my social anxiety and depression.
HMMMM.... youv'e really got me thinking. Maybe when the GP I mentioned above told me I might be allergic to work he really meant that perhaps my current job was not suited to my temperament.
BUT it takes a lot of courage to make the necessary changes and I'm a real chicken (social anxiety is the culprit) especially when you have financial commitments. However I've resolved that when my depression stabilises that I am going to make some big changes in my life and that I should no longer keep banging my head against the wall in a rat race to which I'm not suited.
Warm regards
