Jolly spiffing that Fran and Wendy are in such high spirits!There a good old English saying.... Feeling a bit purkier myself.... Dylan has managed a bowl of golden nuggets,had a dance and pulled some funny faces to make us laugh.He's back on the sofa having a rest now but 5 days sick it'll take a few days to biuld his strength up...There's no temp anymore.... Two friends called round yesterday so that was nice...and Isabelle and I went out for tea and to the cinema with Carys and Dilly.
one of the friends who came round is a retired hv so a got her to check Dyl's over and she said just watch his cough...he didn't need to be rushed to Alder Hey!(kids hospital)She told me she loved me as she leftand we had a big hug!Julia dropped in xmas presents for me and the kids with a thank you for looking after her little one after school 2 days a week.I'm such a kid and had to open mine and I had a gorgous bath with my stuff.
the film was great(Series of Unfortunate Events)-though I have to admit conversation between the other and I did dry up by the end of the evening(I kept thinking I'm so boring-and then telling myself to stop!)
sorry for going on on fran's thread but this stuff has just poured out....it's lots of lovely little things the add up to helping you /me feel better same as lots of little things that contribute to the lows!
I'm aware that I'm relying on outside sources to knock me down and pick me up..

Hey Jennie
It is so nice to hear you back to yourself again. Doesnt it all seem so weird that when youre having good days you cant understand why you were so down on your bad days. I dont think there is a reason - I dont think we have control. I think thats why its so hard during the bad days because we try to fight it and look for a reason instead of just accepting it and looking forward to the next day.
The little things definitely do make a difference though. Last week I had a really bad day but I was coping and holding everything together until hubby came home and was in a bad mood so I lost it. Little things do have the ability to push me over the edge but only on a bad day anyway. On a good day I laugh at the same things that make me cry on a bad day. We just need to learn to be patient and accept the fact that we're not fully recovered and we will still have bad days but they will get less and less as time goes on.
Take Care Jennie Love Carmen

Jennie , sooooo chuffed to little meat balls that your lil un is better,and you girl so much more positive, nice to have you back with us again i missed the ol jennie girl.
Well i made it out and guess what i nearly backed out through panic.But there was this obligation to getting the prezzie there and my daughter was all dressed up and nowhere to go and kept asking are we going yet mum.My other two fell asleep before we went so left them with mum. Im suprised how much i rely on my kids to be social.If my daughter went to sleep also i dont think i would have gone to be honest.My children are my crutch in my pni limp. When i got there i knew no one but the bride and panic set in but all her family was soo friendly.i got better when familiar work friends arrived and i spent the whole evening watching my 5 year old boogie ing away on the dance floor and making friends( shes soo confident) Still feel on an up,still worring about crashing again,Get to sleep with my hubby tonight and i actally want cuddles off him in bed( big deal for me).

Wendy and Jennie. You both sound so much happier. I'm so pleased for both of you. Well done on going out Wendy, I know it was a big deal for you, and you have proved that you can do it. Jennie, glad Dylan is on the mend, everything is so much harder to cope with when you are worrying about the little ones eh? I probably won't be on here so much over the next few days, as hubby is off work. Unfortunately he starts a week of being on call on xmas eve, so will probably nor be around much over xmas. Take care all, have a fab tome where ever you are. I will try and get on here when I can. Love you all Toni

Probably because she was on a different PC - because hers has broken and the other PC is not set to log into this forum automatically.
Sorry about your PC. They are not called Personal Computers for nothing are they?
When mine breaks it is a major tradegy I can use any one of 3 others in the house but somehow it is never the same until I get back on my own.
Without my 'very personal' computer I feel like a part of myself is missing
All the best And give my love to your sick PC get well soon

Congratulations for going out Where did you go? In my experience the more you go out the more you can. It sort of desensitises you and the next time you can go that little bit further. not having your own PC can force you out can't it All the best veritee

fran, I still have to avoid curtain areas in town as the memories of panic attacks from 6yrs ago is assuciated with these areas. I never go into the metro tesco as it's a nightmare and I remember Andrew physically supporting me to a taxi home.... I don't get panic attacks like I used too but know I don't like horrid crowded shopping,that's why I did neally all my xmas shopping before December... Fran ,just keep enjoying what your doing ... I also saw how you were concerned about typing things incase they were wrong...,honey just be yourself,and if you say something extrem so what! Don't change who you are... Sunday on here was so heavy(wished I'd just logged off but tghen I'd probably not logged on again!!! Then Fran,you logged on,were you a bit tipsy or just in a very surreal mood....you made me giggle....and it was such a relief...and I realised I'm here because of you girls
