Psychomum5 Update - From Flame's perspective

30 replies

Flamesparrow · 10/09/2006 11:30

I hope you don't mind Psycho, but I wanted to let people know how you are doing - from my persepctive.

You have all been so supportive to Psycho since she started a "feeling depressed" thread.

I want to say that I am starting to see my friend back again

The pills are obviously helping. We are laughing again, and able to just sit and chat. The house feels much less tense when you walk in. She is taking fewer painkillers.

I hadn't realised quite how much had changed until I started to get my friend back again.

I just want to thank you all for supporting her.

Was wondering how PM was doing Thanks Flame.

I hope the positive trend continues. PM is sooo lucky to have such good friends.

Have you made it to your bookshop for a browse yet though? If they're all off at school from tomorrow then perhaps you can find some 'me' time to do this next week .

psychomum5 - hello. I must have missed the other thread. What's happened? Hope you are okay?
Glad to hear that you are off the painkillers now - it's been a while and you are on the mend. Looks like it could be a boozy night on our next meetup.

I haven't gone looking for it to be honest MoM....

have been sooo busy its been untrue, plus I've been hiding too as feeling like I need some 'real life' space, if you can understand that??

thankyou for the hugs tho....much needed tonight as I feeling rather sad about J going off to 'big-school'...tis a big step for him, a huger one for me....this is the only life I've know really since, well, for-ever. What with training as a Nanny, then being one for 4yrs, then being a mummy.....I've only ever know babies and pre-schoolers and not known how to have 'free-time'......oooh, the shock/joy/possibilities/scariness.

BUT.......am off to waterstones for a whole 1 half hours for me-time with a new book and coffee. One dream being done tomorrow......skip, skip, skip

Really good news re the painkillers. You definitely sound positive, so keep up the good work.

Enjoy yourself

U finally get some "me" time, take advantage!

And if u get really tetchy about not having any pre schoolers to look after i am sure between Flame, Calebsmummy and I we can fill your void

Although i am not entirely convinced my Mr Highly Strung Kinmg Of The Stroppers is really what you want to deal with lolol

Ooooh yes, two preschoolers going spare here (or is that Mother of two preschoolers going spare here )

Psycho, I am so pleased that things are better for you, even if it's because your life is once again manic!! Have been worrying lots about you.

Was talking to Flame yesterday and said when JJ is settled into school, you and she should come here for the day (and of course MoM is invited too...when we can persuade her to move nearer ) Flame needs to see my shiny sink and you need to sit down, put your feet up and eat cake and drink coffee....sound good?

Enjoy your 'me' time tomorrow.. it sounds fantastic, I will book mine for next September. And huge hugs for JJ tomorrow at school.

Take care. x x x x x x

[hello] I didn't post on the other thread, but did do some kind of psychic empathy for you (ie never got round to posting, as I thought talking to Flame on the post natal thread was virtually the same thing )

I didn;t mean J! I meant O!!!! Would be easier if he could tell me what he was stropping for!

Good friends dad died last week, and so have been helping her a bit too....than Penny moved last friday, along with the funeral. I went to said funeral with three beds in the car ready to fly to Penny straight after. Got some comical retorts I can tell you!!!! (not taking anything away from the funral....was the most moving and beautifully spoken about I have ever been to.

Sooooo....also have had the many dance runs....now up to 33 dance classes btween all five....and thud...no wonder I am stressed!!!!!!!!!!
