the sun is finally shiny

hello everyone

well its been a while since i was posting on this site however it has been such a help to my recovery i wanted to share my journey with you all.

i am a long long time sufferer of pni and now i really do feel i can say the word recovery. i have four beautiful children and a husband i adore. life is really beautiful.

we have just spent the weekend working around the house so it is with aching muscles and a tired body i sit here and just feel content, at last.

i am still on full medication and plan to be indefinitely, i have an appt with my pyschirasit soon and i am currently attending a pnd group so i am still not there

BUT i know i am healing and i believe we need to think that as it is an illness it will run its course however long but that it will come to an end.

i believe i am richer from the experience, i am sure that there will always be the scars of the experience for me, my husband and unfortunately i am sure my children have experienced my illness in ways i wish i could change.

however i think that I have been given the blessing of my life and i am going to live my life the best way i know how, one day after another with hope and faith in my God who has sustained me through the nightmare that is pni.

i would encourage all those ladies out there that arent as far down the road as i am that you will make it, just trust, be kind to your self and always ask for and seek out help with your kids, your house or whatever , it is only for a time and its not weak to ask for help but it shows wisdom and strength to acknowledge that Hey life is hard right now. We arent islands we need each other so always know there is help out there no matter how bad you may be feeling.

i am so grateful for this site and the support i have recieved during some really bleak times, what a lifeline it is to know that no matter where we are someone cares.

i know my journey with pni is not over yet but i just felt compelled to let you all know i am well on that road and that the sun is so much shinnier then i remember.

thanks again

cheers
