Stress is a trigger, for sure. You are doing really well by noticing the blip for what it is- a temporary state that will pass. How are things? X

By the way, I'm in no way playing down the effect of said 'blip'. It is horrible, no two ways about it. Lots of support to you x

Hey, riding out the blip. Think just brought on by various changes. Separating from hubby, going back to work. Energy feeling a bit depleted at the mo. Also toddler now racing around like a nutter as discovered running!

Hi RB
You've got alot on ATM - even if separation going smoothly , work ok and child good it's alot to contend with. I agree that it's great u r noticing blips and riding them out - it will passx

Hey, been doing ok. Was pretty frazzled by Saturday after manic week. Did two afternoons at work, ran a toddler group and hubby down on thurs and Friday. Was physically and emotionally drained after. Have to always work hard not to get into the anxiety spiral when tired. Keep telling myself that it is ok to be tired and feel vulnerable. I don't need to try to be supermum all the time.

Absolutely agree with Monica, supermums have lows too! You are more of a supermum than you maybe realise
:-)
Also, supermums need a rest, with a cup of tea. And maybe a biscuit. And a good book x

You are so right. It is ridiculous to try to be superwoman all the time. I am just so bad at letting go and letting myself be emotional and vulnerable. It is like I have to keep such a tight leash on myself all the time. I get so tired but then I get angry that I am tired. Why can't I just relax?

Someone recently said to me that we keep emotions locked up until we can bear to let them out

As sufferers of pni we take everything so personally. I found the lack of control over anything hard to deal with - when I had pni anything I couldn't do was a personal failure as for some time my perceived inability to stop myself getting pni was the no 1 screw up. Anything just confirmed that. However that's just not the case. Try practising to let go of things that really aren't important - it's bloody hard to do ...unless ur a slob like me! Hax

Hi Berry, now is probably the hardest time for you to be able to be kind and good to youself. But....you are wonderful. You have been through so much and you deserve a rest. I hope you get a chance to put your feet up sista! xx

So today is one of those days where my head feels really rubbish :-( it is when you beat yourself up most minutes of the day and doubt your ability to do anything. I don't understand why my mind insists on putting me through this. It is just so draining when all I want to me is positive instead of feeling rough :-(
