Just sticking my head out from under my own cloud long enough to look for you?
Is it raining in the UK too?
Please let me know how you are. I'm worried.

Hi sweethearts,
I'm so sorry for worrying you, I didn't have time to go online yesterday.
I've just got in from therapy. I'm drained. I talked about something I was dithering about telling her, so I suppose that was positive. It was a really hard session, I might go home and curl up in bed until tomorrow.
I hope you guys are ok, you are so lovely.

I think sleep sounds like a good option. I'm glad you kept your appointment. and I'm glad you told her stuff. I love the word "dithering"!
Please don't feel pressure to post when you can't. I can't help worrying...so we will just have to dance the dance of "Marco?" "Polo!"
Smile. It makes people wonder what you've been up to...

I haven't been up to much exiting I'm afraid. Just work and trying to be sociable. I'm feeling a little better today, not as immediately suicidal as I was. I've got a pdoc appt next week so I'll try and see if I can change my meds or something. It just feels like I'm trying my best and going to therapy and taking my meds, but now I'm back to square one and it's so hard just to sit it out.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!I'm sorry you are having such a tough time too. It sounds like your T is being so so supportive - that's wonderful. I hope we can get through this and come out the other end feeling ok.

We will. We have to. I spend a lot to time watching my youngest child these days, reminding myself that I have responsibilities and that fighting to feel better is worth it. He needs his mom still.
So when I'm really in the dark places of "this isn't worth it" I hang in there for him, not for me. You can borrow him if you want. :) I'll share this because I'm a mother who brags...my youngest is in 7th grade and he isn't very big. He was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder at the beginning of 6th grade, spent a year in therapy learning tools to help him (biofeedback, etc.) and was on paxil. Now he is off everything and out of therapy. He still gets anxious, but he breathes and gets through it. He has chosen wrestling as his sport, which amazes me, since it is so personal and you are in the center of the ring with everyone looking at you. He lost every match this year.
At the awards banquet this week, his coach gave away 5 individual awards: most valuable, most pins, etc. My son was given a trophy called the "courage" award. His coach said, "this is for who you are, not how good or bad at the sport, but how you approach life. I want to be you when I grow up." My son had huge tears in his eyes as he shook his coach's hand and every mother in the place as crying.
If he can be that brave, so can we. Now it is your turn to tell me a story...
:)

Daisy, you must have been so proud. As a Mom, I'd have been busting out all over. :)

Awwww, that is such a sweet sweet story. I'm so glad he keeps you going like that, it seems kind of magical in a sense.
I've been wracking my brains for a story of some description, but nothing has come to mind. Don't be offended - my brain isn't working properly at the mo, it's all blurry and fuzzy and thinking is a bit of a problem!
I've had a long, hard day today, but I'm relaxing with a friend now and my headache has resolved so things are looking up.
If I think of a story I will post it. I promise I'll try to think ;)
