Hello everyone!

I'm doing a little better today. All you guys had such an affect on me. I'm so happy I found all of you. For once in the past 5 months I have happy tears. I'm not alone anymore. I know I will still have bad days but knowing I have help from all of you is a great gift.

Hello Ashley

What a lovely post! I'm glad you are doing a little better and you are definitely not on your own anymore. It's a great relief to find mums who really understand and have been in your shoes isn't it? I felt exactly the same when I found APP some years ago.

We are all here for you.

Take care ...... sending you a virtual hug :)

Hello lilybeth,

It feels amazing knowing you guys are here for me. I'm doing good again today. Every now and then I get a bad thought but I'm continuing to be strong. I can't get over how much this forum has helped me. I know I'll have bad days again but I know I'll come here and feel better

Hi lilybeth,

No I haven't seen the doctor yet but I see my therapist this Thursday and my regular doctor in another week. When I see my therapist I always feel a little better but I'm still going to see a psychiatrist so they can help me with these thoughts. I'm actually been doing good these past three days. Still get thoughts but they are not strong. Talk to you soon!

Hello Ashley

I'm glad you always feel a little better after seeing your therapist. It's such a relief isn't it when you can have a few good days and your thoughts are not so strong?

Stay positive and take care.
