It's very true though...I went through this process too...as for raising your self esteem I really don't have the answers...I've been trying for years but do believe it gets better/easier as you get older. Could you do something for you on a regular basis? Book a monthly massage or girlie night out? Something to look forward to where you don't have to be a mum or a wife and can just be you for a while xx

Well work has kept me busy and pretty happy this week and I think my SAD lamp may well have been helping me too. I even seem to be managing some tricky work situations a little better.
Forgot my AD today so feeling a little dizzy this eve but hopefully will pass.

Weekend has been busy seeing friend and family. In fact i've found it a bit too busy at points.
It has been pretty nice all in all with a few downs (usually when I feel tired between 15:00 and 19:00). I have needed to take time out early evening to relax for 30mins or so which helps a lot.
Looking forward to the week ahead and determined to get back on the health and fitness

That's interesting Kat. I reckon it's when the light starts to drop and when we feel low energy x

Well it's been a busy couple of weeks but have coped OK I think. Definitely still having my dips which has been hard but a lot to do with circumstances.
Still having relationship wobbles and going to try couples counselling.
How did everyone else find having pni effected their relationships? I find I get more irritable and grumpy, I also feel very guilty for all the things he does to help me and feel I rely on him too much!

Hi
Pni affects most relationships in one way or another, so you are not alone. The counselling can help massively getting back on track. I think having pni does change you - you have different needs, thoughts, expectations. For the man often their logical minds just don't get the illness, or they don't know what to do. And things like this can put pressure on the relationship. But try to be pisitive - you both love each other and this is a blip x

Hello guys.
Gosh it's been ages!
Just dropped in to say all is going well and I have dropped my meds right down to almost nothing.
Last 4\5 months have been crazy! Sadly seperated from my husband but it has been for the best. Have moved out and renting but hope to buy soon!
Poppy is amazing and almost 2, unbelievable. She has 2 loving parents still even though we are not together. He has her a few nights a week and in Saturday.
Feeling happy now and back to healthy. Odd bad day but not Pnd bad just normal life! I feel so much stronger and a better person these days for all I have been through.
Anyone out there feeling they will never get better! I was the same but I got there and you will too xx
