In the Media for PND
This year I set myself the challenge to feel the fear and do it anyway. To not let my worries prevent me from grabbing opportunities that may help me or possibly even others. I have a long standing unease with public speaking, probably stemming from a lack of confidence, and for most of my life, I have activity avoided situations that …
5 Things; To Lift Your Mood
Welcome back to ‘5 Things’, a feature which allows me to talk about a variety of subjects in one place. This week; To Lift Your Mood As Mama’s we have tend to have a generous spirit. All the people in our lives come top of our list, leaving us lucky if we even make it onto the list. We have people who rely …
Blogging as therapy.
I started this blog to record our family memories. So our daughter could look back and see how much we loved her every day she was growing up. A modern day baby book. As I began writing down our memories, I started to realise that the process of writing is cathartic, like a therapy, it helps me in so many …
Who Am I?
Well I have been on the PND medication for just over two weeks and I had a check up with my Doctor on Monday. In general I think I feel a bit better. Well I definitely have cried less than usual over the past few days. I still feel anxious and sick, but I think that is to do with …
Doctor Doctor
I have had so many lovely messages after posting my experiences with stress and PND, so I just wanted to post an update. As I have said previously, I don’t want this blog to turn into a negative space, as it started from such a joyous place, but honesty is important. Honesty is what led me to posting my problems …
Photo Shoot – Magic Moments #3
Jaime at Oliver’s Madhouse creates a Linky each week for us all to share our Magic Moments. These moments can be any moment that feels magical to you, however big or small. The last few days have been very mixed for me. I threw something for the first time on Thursday. I was trying to tidy and everything was building …
O.K Bring Me The Drugs
So Monday wasn’t too bad a day. I had coffee with friends in the morning and although I didn’t always feel part of it, I didn’t cry, which I thought was good. The afternoon at home wasn’t unbearable, although it is a bit of a blur. I started to think that maybe I can sort this out my myself. How …
Labelled, Loved and Lucky
I had my Doctor’s appointment yesterday. I had to fill in a form about my feelings, have a chat and then she said I have PND. Not sure how I am meant to feel about that. She wants me to meet with my Doctor (as she knows me better), to decide whether I should have drugs, therapy or both. I …
Tears For Fears
Well I’m no further forward. I find that I am losing confidence in myself on tasks/work I know how to do well. As my mind is full, focusing is hard and so doing my normal work is proving challenging. I hate moaning, but it wouldn’t be truthful after my last post to pretend all is well. I have to be …
When Does Stress Become More
I am sitting here crying as I type. I seem to cry a lot at the moment. I have no right to cry, I have everything I’ve ever wanted. I know many people who would give their souls to be in my position. Not because we are rich, or live the high life (we aren’t and don’t), but because I …
