Feeling like I'm failing!
The new meds I think are working ok, I'm not as anxious!
But I googled tonight, epic fail!
I just want to feel normal again!
I know I have to work harder!
Today I just need encouragement!

Hello Skye
Wish I could hug you physically, and tell you this "You are going to be alright, you are going to be alright...." even though you may not be feeling it just now. Sending you some love over to you ....
Many hugs
Shelley xx

I wish I could Shell, it's silly though, I can't let go, I feel I need to be in control, on the lookout! Stupid hey!
But im laying in bed with my three babies (one of them is my fur baby) and my patient husband is cleaning up, love him!

Oh Skye, that would make you tired being on the lookout. I"m sorry.
It's nice you have your babies there with you though. That is mighty special. And your dear hubby, cleaning up.

I'm scared again....... Half asleep, I think I hear something again, dreaming, I don't know?!
Just want to go to sleep and wake up the old skye, if it wasn't for my husband and kids I think I'd just want to go to sleep!
So tired and scared......

Morning Skye,
I understand that feeling of being tired and scared. But please be reassured that you'll be okay. You will! You've got great kids and a wonderfully caring husband who all love you to bits. And a fur baby too - Lara isnt it? And lots of friends here on the forums all wishing you well. With help from everyone who loves you, you will get there. I'm confident the 'old' Skye will re-emerge. Give it time. Hard I know, but try to be patient and let the meds do their 'thing'.
Thinking of you, lovely Skye.
Sherie xx
