Hi Anita,
Sorry you are not so good tonight, I wonder if Lily is teething hun? Have you got some teething gel in the house just in case. My LO cut his first tooth around 6 months.
Do you have one of those baby rockers?, I found that was the only way to get my baby to sleep some nights, and I still rock him to sleep periodically in it?
Two days in a row is very good hun, so please know that you are recovering even though you are having a down period this evening. It could be the fact that you feel so alone having just moved house, when does your OH get home? Get the TV on, Night garden is on.....and make a cuppa, it'll be bedtime before you know it, and tomorrows a new day and will be a good one for you I hope.
Take care hun
Love and hugs
Scarlet X

Hi Anita,
You've done so well to have moved house and to have had 2 good days in a row after that. Just remember those days and know that you will have some more of them again. A screaming baby is enough to try anyone's patience. If it all gets a bit much and you know she isn't hungry and doesn't want a cuddle then put her in bed and leave her for 10 minutes to give yourself a break.
I didn't learn that trick til later on with my first one but this time round I do it often and 9 times out of 10 she goes to sleep. I never realised that babies sometimes cry because they're super tired and want to be left alone!
You're not alone Anita, we're all here for you any time you need to get those feelings out. You're doing great, fingers crossed for some more good days and maybe in the new year you could start to meet some people locally and find some support near to you to help out on the bad days? Lots of hugs to you, Bobyn xxx

Hi Anita,
I have replied on your other thread, but wanted to say that you are doing very well even if you don't believe it yourself, it's just that you are having a blip and sadly recovery is full of them. You did so well moving house just before Xmas and have had some good days, so you are in the throes of the ups and downs by the sounds of it. I promise things will get better for you with time hun and you will start to have more and more good days.... just try and get through today with hubby helping out.
Love and hugs
Scarlet X

Hi Anita, Just remember that for every bad day there's going to be some good ones round the corner. Take all the help you can, rest lots and just get through them. They will pass and you are doing amazingly well. I had a bad day on the 24th and it scared me so much so I know how down it makes you feel. We're all here to listen if you want to offload any of your feelings. Lots of hugs coming your way. Love, Bobyn. xx

Well got through christmas wasn't too bad, quite enjoyed christmas day which was good although felt horrible on boxing day and really felt down. New years was also ok so a few more good days as well as bad, which is so much better than just being bad. Had a really down day today, Lily spent most of the day crying her excema has really flared up and poor girl can't stop itching...i am trying to be patient with her but my head is pounding again and no matter what i do it doesn't work. She is in bed now so I feel kinda relieved to get some peace at last my husband is also home so that also helps!.
I am getting those horrible feelings again I feel that everyone hates me, it doesn't help that there has been a huge family bust up and my husband and his brother have fallen out!! They haven't spoke since September and it makes me feel so sad as we were all so close and i really miss him he was like a big brother to me and no he doesn't even want to know us. Everyone says that time heals but in this case i don't think so...think it has gone too deep. Think all that is not helping me either especially at this time of the year when families are so important.
Got to go to the doctors tommorrow, absolutly dreading it!! Because i have moved i have changed doctors and this will be the first time seeing a new doctor (my old doctor was so great really made me feel at ease). I hope the new doctor understands, scared she might think i am mad....i also hae to explain the whole thing to her sooo not looking forward to that....its making me feel sick just thinking about it. Feeling kinda numb again not sure why, have so many thoughts and emotions running through my head at the moment its making me feel really anxious and sick, my heads pounding, my hearts thumping and i feel really sad at the moment hopefully that will pass soon

Good luck at the doctors today. You will be fine once you actually get in there. And hopefully she will be a nice understanding person like you had before.
I think we will all feel better when we start a whole new week, next week. A week of routine and no more special days to stress us out.
Hope you feel better soon Jay xx

Hi Anita,
Sorry to hear you are feeling a bit crappy hun. Have you got some special cream for Lilys excema?
It sounds to me as if you are under some stress what with the family issues and the fact that you no longer see your husbands brother. It has affected you and and this has perhaps led to a blip, or at least contributed to it. Also the fact that Xmas is over and there's a kind of lull. Ride it hun and it will pass.
Just want to say good luck for the docs today, I'm sure things will be fine and I hope your new doc is as understanding as your old one. Do let us know how it goes.
Hugs
Scarlet X

Thanks Scarlet, Yep she has all the special creams and nothing seems to work, She is also seeing the doctor today as they think she may have a milk allergy and thats what is flaring the excema up and causing her to be constantly irritable so hopefully fingers cross that finally the doctors are going to sort her out.
I had a panic attack this morning found it so hard to breathe think it is because i am so nervous and anxious about going to the doctors, I know it silly but i just can't help it. Will let you know how it goes and hopefully i will feel better when i get back. My husband has taken the day off to take me ther otherwise i wouldn't go...don't know what i would do without him!
