Hello All
It has been a while since I wrote on here. I first got ill with PNI last year after the birth of my first son. I suffered panic attacks really bad, had a severe phobia of dying and loosing people and was convinced I was going to harm my child. I can honestly say those months were the darkest of my life and I never thought I would recover..ever!!
Well I have popped back today to say thank you to all you ladies who took the time to write back to me for the time I was using this site. In fact I remember days where I just sat at the computer starring at the screen hoping the answer to a cure would magically appear.
Although I do get the occasional intrusive thought they dont bother me like they used to. I have learnt to spot things that could cause me to get down such as major changes in my life, situations that would cause me stress and I will book in for an hour with my cousellor to be on the safe side, so all in all I would say I am more or less back to my old self and able to cope. The only difference having gone through an illness like PNI is that I feel stronger as I person now and I know I can get through anything!
I am now expecting my second baby (due November) and I cant wait, I am a bit nervous that the PNI will come back but if it does I will no what to do and I will beat it again! I have enrolled in a course to study counselling as I no I want to help people beat things like depression just like I did.
I just wanted to say you ladies here do an amazing job and I will never forget how you helped me when I felt there was nobody else!!
Thank you ;D
