First of all, why are you listening to this 'friend'?  This doesn't sound
like a true friend to me. (Is this one of the friends who told you CP 
could be cured?)

Secondly, this is the sort of thing Mags and other people have told you to
take charge of before, and I'd venture to say nothing's changed about that
advice.

Now I'm off to enjoy the rest of my holiday. :)

Whenever I start to look in to Independent Living, I tend to get more
depressed.  I wastalking to my best friend yesterday and she said to
stop looking in to Independent Living and let my parents and my social
worker do that.  I am afraid if I do that I'll get put somewhere that I
don't want to be (like Cornerstone).
