I've basically come to a conclusion that I'm going to put an end to my Verselus journal fairly soon. I've come to a point where I think a major door is closing on my life and a new one will be opening. This happened once upon a time with my other journals genevievechat and moon_wise_muse.

I'm down because it means that my condition is still getting worse and won't settle.

Sigh. I'll report more this weekend.
