 I'm really at a loss here.... I am supposed to be moving out of my parents house in to an apartment by myself in 3 weeks. With everything going on right now (heart problems? and Cymbalta not working, fibro getting worse) my mom keeps suggesting that i not move out for a while, at least until we find out whats going on. I kept saying no, ill be fine, ill be fine. but after what the doctor said to me today im not sure any more, i guess i dont know what im not sure about tho... i know i want to move out, im SO excited about that... i guess im just afraid of failing... I just wish that everything would go back to normal... his sucks to because i was feeling better, still not pain free but better the last couple of days and now this... all i keep thinking about is heart failure im tooooo young for this, im sick of it. im so stressed out with school and work and moving, and everything else. i dont get to see the b/f until friday and thats making things so much worse, i get relief when im with him, even if were not even talking, theres just something about his presence that comforts me. anyway im rambling... i thought on the way to school tonight, maybe i should just hit a tree and end all the bull sh**... Im not going to do anything dont worry, im just super stressed out and this just tops it off.....

sorry for the venting session... im at school right now but this is all i can think about.

 Dear Linny,

My humble opinion is, "LISTEN TO YOUR MOM!" Not very subtle was I ?

Your Mom is probably worried sick about you right now. She wants you at home where she can help you, support you and do her best to make sure you're okay.

My daughter is only 10 years old, but if I try to imagine myself in the position that your mom is in right now....I'd be wanting my daughter to stay at home for a while longer too

Linny, you are 20 years old sweetie, there is plenty of time for moving out on your own. I know you're ready to move out...NOW! You've been planning the move for a long time and you have the right to be excited about that. I'm just suggesting that right now may not be the very best time.

I'm sending you a hug and I'll be supportive of whatever final decision you make

 I remember getting my first apartment; it was all new to me and I remember it being really nice -- but small. But still, it was my place and I remember how nice that was to have.

I was not sick then, as I am now. I am trying to imagine what I would feel if I had to move now. The images that come to mind are not pretty.

I think that your mom is right. She wants the best for you. Rest up and get better and then move. That's what I think.

No matter what you do we will be here for you.

 Blehhhh i don't know... moving out is like the only thing i have to look forward to and be excited about right now. And I've spent like hundreds of dollars on all the "moving out" stuff. The landlord is supposed to be calling me this week to sign the lease and i move in on the 25th. I wonder if i can wait to make the decision to sign or not in like a week or two when i find out all this heart stuff. It would honestly break my heart if i didn't move.

My doctor is supposed to call this morning to tell me what we should do about the fluid in the lungs and my mom said she wants to come with b/c she has "questions". i know she is going to tell the doctor im moving and ask if its a good idea. i guess it will be easier if she says not to, then i can use the doctor as an excuse instead of telling everyone i cant do it... meaning i failed......

 I am of a different opinion. I think you should go ahead and move to your new apt. I think that being on your own is so exciting and I am sure your doctor is going to take care of your health problems. I say do it...

 Thank you! I needed some encouraging advice

I really want to move out, i think its something I need to do for myself, sounds corny but i need to "find myself" i guess and i think the only way i can do that is to get out on my own. Man my thoughts on this are all over the place! one minute its stay home the next its get the h**l out!
