Lem - :) sorry that you are not in a great place, but nice to have you back!
Victrix - hope your op goes well if it's tomorrow - will be thinking of you :)
Snowy - well that's good to read. What do you think to that?
I think sometimes we don't always see our own 'improvement'. I remember at times this year being told how much better I seem, when I just kind of thought I was okish.
Orchard - I cannot say just how many times I felt like you in the same situation with the guilt of how I was with my DS when he was younger.
Probably from the age of 7/8 I used to snap do much, and he would more often then not be in the firing line, and it went on for many years.
He is 20 now and although he remembers it well, he appears to of forgiven me as he now understands MH issues, and how it can affect a person.
We get on so much better, but I still carry the guilt and maybe always will.
How I didn't rob him of his confidence I just don't know?
Pulled - I thought of you today when I was standing on my hoofs on the shop floor at work for 8 hours! Thinking you had your injection (don't envy that) and were probably nice and cosy in your bed....
I did have a better day today after yesterday's downhill slide, hope it lasts :)
(((Hugs))) for all
