Many thanks to everyone who responded to me. Your advice and willingness to engage meant lot to me. Really glad that I found this community!
I'm not exactly sure what I mean by wanting to be ok. I think that I would just like to find a way to be naturally a part of another's plans. However, I don't this can happen until I can find a way to really experience and accept myself. I t is hard to do this at times without family or friends. Sometimes I feel that it was a mistake to reject them, but when I bottomed out, no one was really there for me. I struggle to understand why, but not sure this is helpful. I feel empowered by the things I've accomplished over the past year, but fearful that the real me can't sustain this new life, but am still intetrsted in trying.
To clarify...

> What I meant was that it was a personal question. It must be possible in theory, since some people do it. But what leads to each of us feeling ok is different. I have trouble feeling ok even under ideal circumstances. So it's a question whose answer needs to come from within. What do we need to feel ok? How can we get it, given the realities of our situations?
