It made me sad to read that you are going through a ‘blip’ but also happy, thoughtful and hopeful that with your fantastic attitude and outlook on life that you will get through this. You have had to cope with a lot recently, with Tom’s illness, nurturing little ones and the prospect of further change in moving house. No wonder you are feeling overwhelmed. I suffered with panic attacks for many years, and have also had periods of depression. Knowing how to recognise the signs is the first step, and then obviously slowing down or getting help. I found Cognitive Behaviour Therapy was the most useful. The way you have expressed your new focus reminds me very much of things i try to do. Be kind and gentle to yourself… your words and thoughts illustrate that you are such a strong woman. Wishing you well and sending you lots of love
Ginny
p.s. i love your wedding ring!

I don’t know you, but I feel sort of close to you anyways. Maybe because I know you see and talk to some of my family every now and then? And that I recognize some of my own thoughts and feelings in much you write?

Thanks for such an honest post.

It sounds like you know how to take care of yourself. I hope it works.

:hugs:

Sounds like you’re handling it beautifully — and remember, letting the cracks show is just as important as everything else you’re doing. Plus getting outside – it’s the only thing I know that works for me. All the best with it.
