Hi Lee - I'm so happy to hear back from you. Please let me know the results of your blood tests, and no matter what they are we will be here to help you. I understand your being scared - I had blood tests six months ago and learned from them that I have leukemia. As frightening as that may sound I'm telling you because I want you to know that I am OK and doing well, even with leukemia. So, I'm not just...well...blowing smoke at you...I know at a gut level that no matter what news may come there will be ways to deal with it and move on. I certainly hope you don't have something serious, but until we know what you are dealing with it's very hard to take any kind of action.
It takes work to meet people in a new community, and when you don't feel well it can be hard to add those efforts to what's already on your plate. Have you been able to find any ways to meet other single women, perhaps women from your home country that are also in Australia? Are there any ties you have from home - maybe a school, a passion, a hobby - that might be part of a local club or MeetUp group? There are a lot of things that you can do to meet new people - what have you tried so far? Are you shy or is this easy for you? What's going to get you out and about and feeling good again?
Australia is a beautiful country and many people would absolutely love the opportunity to go there for a visit or to live. I hope we can help you to learn what you're dealing with and then take action to resolve any medical issues and be able to enjoy life in your adopted country.
Talk with you again soon, Pat
