Sunshine after the rain

[Strugglingmum]

It was ok. I'm working on it but I'm tired now.
I had a bad flashback this afternoon and its dropped my mood a bit but I'm with my lovely family now so it will ok.

[Paula]

So, pace day tomorrow? I know you’re a busy person, and that helps you normally, but maybe you can do things that only focus on making you feel good tomorrow?

[Strugglingmum]

Tomorrow A is taking the day off to take me out for a walk and picnic somewhere so yes a bit of care and relaxing after sorting the kids out

[Suzi]

Are you OK? Flashbacks are horrible... I'm glad A is taking the day off to do something lovely with you.

[Strugglingmum]

Flashbacks are part of every day life for me. I hate it and it sucks all the life out of me but I have to get on with it. I especially hate when it happens in front of people, you have the trauma of the flashback plus the embarrassment of having it. But I am getting more used to it and coping better after them.

[Paula]

You’re awesome

I've been there.... It's horrible, but it does get better....

[Mira]

I am glad you are with your family now and how lovely of A to do that. Having them behind you is a great thing. I hope you are feeling a bit better now

I feel in an absolute pit tonight and I have no idea why. I came to bed but no sleep and no sign of any being near. Even the dog couldn't lift my mood tonight.

[Paula]

Did you get any sleep? Are you ok?
