    Mental health

    Thanks guys all good suggestions. I talked to some people the last couple of days and I've got a plan. I actually feel a lot better just bouncing this off people. You all just reassure me that my plan is sound. I've already talked to family, pastor, etc. looks like I'm feeling better already...
