Hi candy ~glad to hear from youHow are you doing?

I had a problem with post traumatic stress from several smaller traumas and then one big one that brought it all out ~I'm fine now,enjoying life but still post with the girls as we all know what it feels like to be like that.

Hope you are finex

Hi to blissa and yommy
blissa~you're doing amazingly well

blissa · 20/07/2009 13:28

Aw thanks morning, I think it's all a bit surreal for me atm to be honest, I can't believe how things keep going wrong for me. I don't know how I've made it through the weekend, dp was around which helped. Been doing housework this morning to keep busy. I keep having these little thoughts that this time next week I might not be here anymore, but I have to push those away.

Everything is sorted for tomorrow, my best friend is having the kids. I never thought I would ever be going for an appointment like this. I keep having thoughts about what I am doing and how it isn't fair on 'it'. I've felt sick these past couple of mornings which hasn't helped. I know I have to do this, but the morals of it are playing with me now

morningsun · 20/07/2009 13:37

all the best for tomorrow,will be thinking of you

blissa · 20/07/2009 13:47

Thankyou xx

Hi girls,

Guess the site is going to be quiets for a few weeks with everyone going on holiday!

Hi Candy - nice to have you back around and so glad to hear you are doing se well! Hoe the CBT works for you! I am having some at the moment too! Just had my first session the other day where we done breathing excercises, next week we are looking at thinking and how to change the way my ind thinks! . I, however, don't have some young hunk! Lucky you! lol!

Blissa - I hope everything goes well for you tomorrow! I will be thinking about you all day! Everything will go smoothly and you will be back on MN in no time!

My head is pounding just now! I had mine and my neighbours kids down the soft play today and I feel exhausted. Not sure how my anxiety is at the moment! Its weird! Some days I feel fine and other days I feel terrified of the day that lies ahead! Could scream some times with this anxiety!

Anywho, better get the tea organised! Speak soon x x x

morningsun · 21/07/2009 13:28

whats happeneing with you blissa?sorry not up to date .
since the kids been off for the summerholiday my anxiety has been worse ? ,they do stressme out ,fighting and saying they are bored.
or maybe its because im trying to tackle my anxiety through cbt so thinking about it more ?i dunno
just so wish i could see the back of it.
how is everyone else coping with the holidays?

YommyMommy · 22/07/2009 11:39

Hi Candy,

Thats a shame ur anxiety is worse over the hols, its probably both the hols and the CBT. I am in the same position as you have second CBT tomorrow.

Poor Blissa had to have a termination yesterday Hope you are okay Blissa! ((((((hugs))))))

My house is highly stressesd today! The kids are bored and its pouring outside! I am braving the swimming pool later with the both of them! . Need to do something to get them out the house! Nightmare!

Will check in later to see how you all are!

candyfluff · 22/07/2009 12:04

good for you ,my fella (cbt guy) says i have to do things like that to challenge my perception of them being anxiety inducing situations ,i avoid cinema's and public transport so i have to next week go to the cinema and stay there and not keep going to the loo which i what i would normally do ,havent been in 4 years ,going with my mate from school to see harry potter ,i know i will be so much more confidant if i can do it .
have a nice time at the pool xx

morningsun · 22/07/2009 16:21

How are you doing blissa?
It's raining here and I am absolutely bored stiff lol.
Plenty of housework to do as ever but little ds out this afternoon and the older ones are out gallivanting.

blissa · 22/07/2009 22:18

Hi girls, thankyou for your kind wishes.

Yesterday went as well as possible. The procedure was very quick and not too painful. They gave me an injection of fragmin before hand. I didn't need painkillers and there was very little bleeding. They had me up and about soon afterwards and I have been ok today.

Have felt pretty guilty. It's been hard not to think about what it could have been. I was very tearful last night.

So now I just have to see how I go. I don't know how long afterwards I am at risk? Am contemplating seeing my gp tomorrow, I want to know whether having the fragmin will affect how long I wait to have my screening.

My anxiety is ok atm . I think that is because I'm not allowing myself to think about things. I feel a bit numb and that this all hasn't really happened to me. I have very little patience with the dcs and just getting on with the basics. I spoke to my mum on the phone today, I'm surprised how easy it is to pretend I am fine

blissa · 22/07/2009 22:23

I hope the swimming went well yommy. Dd1 keeps asking if we can go, we've not taken them for ages.

Sorry you feeling low candy. I think yommy is right about the cbt forcing you to think about things.

I hope your day got better morning. It didn't rain here today and I managed to get out in the garden for a bit. I was shattered afterwards. Been given antibiotics to take which make me feel a bit sick

YommyMommy · 23/07/2009 08:15

Morning Girls,

Blissa - I am so glad everything went as well as could have! If you feel like you want reasurance from ur GP then don;t hesitate to go see ur GP. Try not to dwell on what has happened, it just wasn't the right time for you and if you start to feel guilty about it who knows what it could lead to menatally! Hope you are okay today! P.S. Anxiety sufferers are fantastic at pretending things are okay, even when they are not! Would you agree? We get enough practice! xxx

Candy - hope you are feeling better today! Hope the swimming goes well for you! Just think about the kids and how happy they will be!

I need to go start to get ready - have the docs at 10 with ds2. Think he might have a touch of ecxema?? I know thats not how its spelt, I am hopeless at spelling, lol! I am seeing him at the same time due to having pain in my kidney last weekend

Had a fab time at the swimming yesterday and the kids had a ball!

Hope you are all well today!

morningsun · 23/07/2009 10:13

blissa ~glad it went as well as can be expected ,take it easy if you can for a few days.The numbness is a protective mechanism I think to help us get through difficult things~isn't evolution great lol.Seriously hope you are okxx.

Yommy hope you don't wait too long at the Drs and glad swimming went well.

Am going for the swimming option myself today lol

speak to you all later

YommyMommy · 23/07/2009 12:39

Morning, I think I am going mad? Are you on holiday at the moment? lol! Hope you have fun at the pool today! x x x

morningsuncanslay · 23/07/2009 12:57

Yommy~why are you going mad lol?
School holidays started this week.

YommyMommy · 23/07/2009 18:04

Sorry morning, getting wires crossed! There are too many people on holiday. I thought u were down at Cornwall on holiday? I think I am getting you mixed up with someone else, Sorry lol! Will have to go back to the old post to remind myself!

How did the pool go?

How did the pool go for you Candy?

Hi to Blissa if you are around today! Hope you are okay! Thinking of you!

Hi to everyone else!

blissa · 23/07/2009 19:56

It's moose who's in Cornwall yommy!

Been ok today. Thanks for thinking of me. Didn't go to see the dr today, I might leave it til monday? Am kind of taking it easy, the most I have done today is hoover. Am trying not to dwell on things, although I keep having flash backs to being in the theatre- how the hell I didn't freak out I don't know.

What's with the name change morning? Who are you slaying? Hope the swimming went well.

How did you get on at the drs yommy?

xx

candyfluff · 23/07/2009 20:27

hi girls
oh blissa so sorry you had to go through that ,never had to myself but if it were to happen right now i would do exactly the same ,having my third was so hard on so many levels ,my mental health has suffered ever since.
hope you are resting as much as you can xx

swimming went really well ,kids so well behaved and yes it was hard taking all 3by myself but i did it and feel chuffed with myself !!
my sister was meant to come with us but she has a raging toothache so i still went ,id promised them and couldnt let them down.
how did swimming go for you yommy?

blissa · 23/07/2009 20:49

Thanks candy, it's a weird thing to talk about- you never know how people will react- but I am pleased I told all of you, everyone's been so supportive.

Glad the swimming went well x

morningsuncanslay · 23/07/2009 22:31

Hi all,I'm getting confused now as we've all been swimming lol!
Am not in Cornwall,am going to France on the 5th August.
I went on the thread killing thread earlier hence the slaying name lol
Glad you took it easy today blissa

xx

YommyMommy · 24/07/2009 10:20

Moring Girls,

How are you all today?

Well done on taking the kids on your own candy! My swimming went well too!

Glad to hear you are feeling as well as can b blissa! When I was having ds2 (planned section) I was so sure that if I was going to freak anywhere it would have been in theatre! Its funny what we can get through when we need to, don;t you think??? Rest for the weekend and see how you feel on monday, you know the GP is there if you need them! And thanks for clearing up the holiday confusion!

The drs went well. DS2 had cream for dry skin patches and I have AB's for suspect kidney infection.

My DH has gone away to work thismorning for 2 weeks. I am going to my friends house for lunch so had better go get ready!

Hope you all have a nice day!
