Hi Helen
I am really so pleased for you.
It is lovely to hear of someone you sort of know getting there. Getting well, and moving on.
I wish you the very best of luck, and hope that life just keeps getting better for you.
Thank you so much for talking to me when I felt so poorly earlier in the year. You are a star.
I send load of love, and best wishes
Jay xx

Hello Helen
Well done to you! That's great to hear.
Can I ask you how you know when you're 100% better. I am so nearly better - how will I know when it is 100%?

Hiya Flobob,
Sorry I'm not Helen replying, and I hope she does because I feel almost there as well. But 100% to me is when you no longer feel vulnerable and insecure AT ALL, and are 'confident' that you could go it totally alone if necessary, without any help, or worry about loss of control if you were to be alone. And also that you aren't preoccupied with PNI any longer (even as PMT) and it doesn't even enter your thoughts, not once. For me this would be my 100%
Love Scarlet

just Chilling out BTW, thanks for that link ;D

Cheers Scarlet - yeah I get what you mean. But what I want to know is how you know that there won't be any more blips. Because I was OK for 2-3 weeks recently and then bam went back down. And went back down again this week. Am I making sense?

FloBob You are making perfect sense Flo  , and I don't really know myself because I'm prolly at the same stage as you hun but I guess that you would feel supremely confident and not get the smallest 'pang' of uneasiness when you think about something that would normally unsettle you with PNI. Maybe also because the longer you go without being preoccupied, the more you feel this confidence. Sadly I'm not there myself yet and this last 5% I'm finding the hardest to shift... Maybe someone out there who has fully recovered will give us the answer.. ;D |

Just found this again. I suppose what I want is to be able to say "Right that was the last blip, I'm better now" and to absolutely know it won't happen again. But I don't think I'm going to get that. But I am able to do some things now that I couldn't do before, and am not over-anxious in advance, so I know I'm on the right road.

I want to be able to say that as well Flobob, but I think it's perhaps when you are 6 months or so without a blip, then you may have a fleeting thought that you haven't had a blip for ages and are at last fully recovered. If you are still thinking about even the word blip (or preoccupied with anything to do with PNI), then I guess it's not quite happened yet, but it would be nice to say it and that was the end of it... Sorry if this is waffle...which indeed it is as I read it back..ah well at least I know what I mean You are most certainly on the right road though, no worries about that hun ;D Wonder if there is someone out there fully recovered who can provide us with these answers..... |

That would be gr8 wouldnt it, if someone could tell us how they know when they are recovered. Would give you more of a goal to aim at .

I am getting there ... I am now able to help myself in ways I couldn't do before and that is just making me feel more positive. Also had just a regular argument with my OH on the phone tonight - not an argument caused by PNI - and then half hour later I rang him back to make up and he said sorry too  Just proves I'm getting back to normal if everything isn't coming back to PNI.

Hi Flobob
Thats great! And i think one of the most positive signs of recovery is recognising that you are getting better. I am so pleased for you hun, and hope it just gets better and better for you x
