Good-dd was diagnosed with asd. We can finally try to understand her behaviours more easily.

Good thing = 2 of my kids started new schools and both v happy!

Bad thing= suffered with injury second half of year so unable to run which is how I deal with depression. Put on ANOTHER stone 🙁

Good: my dd being born.

Bad: luckily nothing particularly bad, I did only get a short maternity leave with her and had some serious baby blues for about 8 weeks. That wasn’t a nice time.
Nothing compared to some of you on here though

Bad: too many things to list, but most of all still being stuck here in the city/country we hate and don’t belong in - so far from our friends and family with no purpose to our lives and seeing our DC struggle with being on the outside as much as we do.

Good: Holiday to the place we consider “home” earlier this year - after/in the midst of a couple of spectacularly awful years it was just bliss to reconnect with friends and community and feel at peace again. I can’t even look at photos of our trip - I have almost forgotten who that person was.

Bad: dh took his own life.
Good: had the most incredible support from all our friends, I could spend pages listing what they have done for us. Just came back from Christmas Eve at a friend's house, they didn't want us to be alone.

Bad thing - My grandma dying

Good thing - Fiance finding a job after 3 months of being unemployed (god, I hope 2019 is better!)

Good - I have finally started working towards the career of my dreams as life's to short not to do the things you love.

Bad thing - anxiety has made basic day to day tasks impossible
Good thing - getting a new little nephew at the start of the year, he really has brought such joy to me

Good: doing brilliantly at work.

Bad: still in love with someone who I don't think wants the same things as me. Or me, even. No end in sight.

Crap thing: trying for a baby and not working:( plus in the last two weeks my car got hit by a school coach outside my workplace, got locked in the school car park for an hour while I waited for someone open it, then broke down on the way home same evening. Lost my bank card before I did my Christmas shopping, locked myself out of back up debit card when trying to transfer money. Had to do it all in £30 applepay payments, car can't be repaired until 8th of Jan. Just came on my period this evening with thenmore horrendous cramps it's making retch

Good thing: it's my nieces first Christmas and I am over the moon to be able to watch her rip open her presents tomorrow.

Empathy for all the bad bits.

Mine - being arrested for drunk and disorderly and common assault. Nope. Not proud.

3 weeks later, the good-moving to the house that husband has literally worked his pants off to gain that has improved our entire family's lifestyle beyond compare. With quiet non financial help from me.

Hey. We all have what we feel to be our "dark and dirty" moments. We just gotta learn not to repeat them. X
