I've missed you! It's been intense....all three children got chickenpox and now the baby has an infected chickenpox spot in her ear. She's ok though, just got a sore ear. I have had 2 weeks of repeated cancellations from my friends. One after the other. I now don't want to see anyone because I feel too let down and sad. This at a time when my mh nurse is trying to build up my support network so we can start trauma work. I cpouldnt feel further away from everyone if I tried.... Life here is so good on so many levels! Just really lonely x

Great to hear from you QR! Glad you're happy where you live. Are there any groups you could go to to meet new mum's? Perhaps look on mum's net. It's heartbreaking when you need support and friends keep cancelling. I have no doubt it's not deliberate but difficult for you when you need your friends around you. Hugs.
You're ha I g so much bad luck with illnesses - this should make for healthy children in the future though! It's very hard when the domino effect befalls you and it's one after the other falling ill - somehow there's no let up for you though .
When do you think you should be starting trauma therapy ? X

Hey qr - those friends are missing out on you!!! Silly people!! I'd love to pop over. Hope the real true network of supportive people in your life show themselves and gather round soon so the trauma counselling can begin and you can throw yourself into it. I imagine you're the type to just need a few deep friendships rather than loads of surface ones. How's the chicken pox clearing up? Big hugs to you xxx

Hello lovely ladies xxx I'm having a really hard time atm. It's difficult to tell whether its PTSD or PNI related but I think evil hormones are to blame.... Just want to be scooped up and told it's going to be ok. But despite my mental health nurse and Ben telling me it will be, I'm finding it hard to believe. The weather isn't helping?! How are you all? Xxx

Hi QR
I'm sorry you're struggling? Can you pinpoint what's causing this? I know you've moved house and had more illnesses to contend with. If this blip is prolonged maybe consider meds again? I hope you're still getting support from the nursex

Guys, all I can do is apoplogise. I feel like all I've done is be a negative presence on the forum for a while now. I have been in a bad place but that's no excuse, I need to support others and not just come here to say how bad things are. What's done is done and I can't turn back time. But I am sorry!
Thank you for not just telling me to naff off, it must have taken super human strength at times. You are all such wonderful women and have created a wonderful and safe space for so many people.
Hope you're all ok xx

Hi Don't ever think you have a negative effect on this forum in any way - actually I think you're a very uplifting and positive person with s sunny outlook even when things are very tough for you. This is your place to say whatever you wish and we all need that. We would never tell you to leave. You are not under any obligation to support others yet you do and I'm a strong believer it's important to help yourself first of all.
How are you doing? Is it purely hormones that are getting you down. Or is it other stuff too? Big hugs - onwards and upwardsx

Hi Monica, I'm sorry I haven't been by for a while. Things are better. So, so much better! My mental health nurse is guiding me through trauma therapy and I am on the path of recovery! The good days are increasing and the bad are decreasing, I'm not caught up in a whirlwind of not understanding how I am feeling- things make sense and that makes everything easier. PTSD is the hardest thing to live through but there are positives that I can see, now that I'm being supported on a weekly basis. All the kids are well, hubby is well, life in the new place is wonderful. So much love to you xxxxx
I'm not quite ready to sign off from you all yet, if thats ok? I still have bad weeks where I struggle massively. But the difference is I KNOW I'm getting better all the time.
Hope you're well, all the best lovely women xxxxx

Hey
Fantastic to hear from you and don't apologise for not having been here. This is your space and you can come here as frequently or rarely and for as long as you wish to. Even if that year's post recovery!
What marvellous news to hear recovery has taken off so well for you and things are slotting into place as they should. I'm delighted to hear you so upbeat and happy - really nothing gives me greater pleasure.
Can I ask what sort of therapy programme/support have you been getting from the trauma nurse. I know a lady who is really struggling after traumatic birth over a year later - so far not a lot has proved effective . It's always useful to hear about effective strategies which have been used.
Sending you much love x
