Hello Skye,
I agree it does feel as though we develop very strong friendship bonds with each other through these Forums. But just lately it seems as though all my best friends are all going through a really tough time. Yourself, Shelley, Elizabeth, and now even Paul. Its just so unfair that everyone continues to suffer like this. Its awful......... Of course I know its going to happen, because we are all in the same 'leaky' boat in terms of mental illnesses. So regular ups and downs are always going to be our close partner. But sometimes I almost feel that my own 'troughs' are easier to take than hearing about everyone elses. Do you get that too? I read a couple of weeks ago that you were avoiding the Forums for a while in an effort to prevent triggers. Is that still the case? If so, its not selfish on your part at all, its self preservation. So do take breaks when you feel you need to.
Sorry to hear that your little girl was sick yesterday. I guess the cold is doing the rounds? Kids caves using sheets, cushions, quilts etc. One of the pleasures of childhood I think. It was fun when I was little, and it is still fun for kids today. Its one of those enduring things that transcend generations.
Its good that your psych has again been able to reassure you about 'just' having anxiety. Dont forget of course that 'just' anxiety is still a very distressing disorder to live with. Naturally its great that you dont have any more serious disorders though. But be reassured that even with 'just' anxiety, you are going to feel dreadful at times.
I'm alright at the moment thankyou. Got an apt coming up with my psych next Monday.
Hubby's eye is finally on the improve. Not before time. He was back to the Eye surgeon again today hopefully as a final check. He removed more undisolved stitch on Saturday and I think that was the last of it thankfully. It has been slowly improving since then.
Holly is such a sweet little dog - always happy, always very obedient and polite. It was definitely our lucky day when we found her with someone who didnt want her when she was 8 months old. She is only 7 years old, but in dog years that is, I believe, considered aged. Your Mum's little maltese at 14 would be the equivalent of about 98 in human years. So she's doing really well. Obviously well loved and cared for.
Keep well Skye. And a hug, coz you're special.
Sherie xx
