Hi there! I'd love to hear from anyone who has returned to university after having children as I'm really not sure whether to or not! I completed 1 and a half years of my degree 5 years ago and now I would like to think I could finish it but to be totally honest I'm scared stiff.I've got 2 children under 4 and have had very bad post natal depression (still got!) and my self confidence/esteem has plumeted-I'm even having palpatations as I type but I know Its all self perpetuating this don't-do-anything-cos -i'm-scared-feel-worse cycle thingy. The gulit thing cripples me too-I feel SO frustrated/angry with myself and feel like a total loser. I feel like a prisoner of my anxiety.I am taking prozac and am seeing a councellor who is lovely but says kinda unhelpful things like 'these are precious years-make the most of them..' This, I have told myself a million times before and would dearly love to be different in my approach to life.Sorry-I've strayed from the point and rambled! Thanks for listening anyway!
