Well I'm two years older than you and sounds like things are very similar so if you want to PM me at any time I'm always about. I've had depression and all the little extras that go with it since I was fourteen. Just me and DS at home now and I'm determined to make this a year of special memories for us both. X

Aww Pinksteps that is so nice of you, and the same goes for you too, it holds you back so much doesnt it! I hope this year has lots of special memories for you and your DS, i have given myself a year for wallowing, and now feel so much stronger, so now for me and my three kids we can focus on special memories too.

Happy new year to you all!

So we've just walked home from my mums around the corner with DD (8 months) asleep in her pram. We'd been home ten minutes when we heard an almighty bang and went outside to find a woman - p1ssed as a fart - has driven her car in to our next door neighbours wall then spun and smashed in to the wall opposite our drive, straight through the pavement where we've just walked our baby girl! I actually feel a little sick thinking about what could have happened - I know that sounds silly though.

Sorry for bringing it down just had to share - I cannot believe how stupid some people are risking others' lives. She even asked my husband if he'd been drinking and whether he'd say he was driving!!!

How awful island_mum and no its not silly its human nature to think what if in these situations, i hope this woman is properly punished and sees the error of her ways.

just wanted to say Im behind you 100% on this! I feel my anxiety lets me down at times too, so hopefully we can support each other and get a handle on it together in 2013! Ive been telling myself to strap on a pair most of the year, as I get the stab in the pit of my stomach when the postman comes (silly reasons I wont bore you with!) but once Ive seen the post I relax when I know its nothing awful - I need to NOT do it! am going to try and leave the post for half an hour before I go and pick it up, instead on hovering in the hall when I know postie is in the close! am so silly I know LOL! :rotfl: but I understand what you are dealing with and wish you loads of luck in dealing with it in 2013 xxxx

Hi snugglebunny thankyou and yes that would be great support, and i am exactly the same when i hear the post drop on the mat, sometimes i wait for one of my kids to come home from work and even open it for me!! (my god seeing it in black and white it sounds pathetic lol) the thing is you think it is just yourself but reading this thread since august i have noticed a lot of us ladies suffer similar feelings in different situations so that has helped me know that these feelings are more common than you think. Lets hope we both end the year a bit more tougher!!
