Wow! That has helped me. The pattern of my PNI has been very close to what you wrote.
I would also say that each new fear I had I thought once I've got this fear out of my head I'll be better but as soon as that one had gone another one would pop up out of nowhere and become all-consuming.
I think I'm at point 9.
I had been feeling a lot better throughout June and July but August was low. I had a first appointment with a psychiatrist. So that was scary in itself as I didn't know what to expect or what would happen. I was scared that he would say "you're OK" because I'm hopeless at remembering the bad things and talking about them when they're not actually happening and then I'd be on my own again. I told him that and he said he thought I did need more help and to see him again in 6 weeks. So since then I've felt bad - because I'm obviously not well and the psychiatrist noticed that on a "good" day. And also in August we had a pending visit at the end of the month to my in-laws. Just the thought of going to see them was stressing me. And in early September I had planned a weekend away with my Mum and without my baby. My first time away from him. That was stressing me too.
All that is out of the way now. Only current stress is a house move at the end of September! Ha!
But reading this has made me see I'm nearly at the end of this road and I am feeling better already. I've had a crummy week but tomorrow is a new day and I've copied your list and will take heart from it.
Love FloBob x

That's great Flobob, see you are near the end hun...
I was at 9 in May I think, and I believe I'm now near 11, the bit about PMT and acute stress....almost full recovery Yay!!!!!!!!
I understand TOTALLY what you are saying about your trip to the psychiatrist. It's like with PNI you can't win either way.... promise you hun, this does go.
Good luck with your house move.
Hugs
Scarlet X

Thank you Scarlet. Great to hear you're at point 11. Well done to you! Another crap weekend for me but tomorrow is a new day blah blah - I keep telling myself that.
Oh, you got it about the psychiatrist. I didn't think I'd explained myself very well.
