Lockdown, Day 103

Today has been extremely tough...Poor Andy got to sleep pretty quickly last night - but his snoring got going far too loudly so I decamped downstairs to the sofa!! Both cats joined me down there until Rory felt he needed to go out. Because Misty has a habit of bringing presents back (she is not impressed with my hunting skills) Andy has been locking the cat flap at night. Rory is very aware of this but obviously is not happy as he was doing his best to throw himself through the door! I gave in and let them both out and then tried to doze, but I could still hear Andy so it didn't exactly work!

Andy himself appeared just before 6 and sent me back up to bed, sleep at that point was not easy as I was very aware that I had a counselling appointment at 10 so refused to let myself fall asleep as I knew I needed to be awake for it! I am now paying for it as I'm in pain, exhausted and have lost any appetite I had. Andy and Mikey are having the traditional Thursday evening KFC, to me at the moment it just tasted too greasy and salty, not good when I have a force 9 storm in my stomach! 

Mikey was meant to be having a face to face bubble at school today, but the poxy UK summer put paid to that by raining all afternoon meaning a gathering on the school field was not exactly viable! Mikey was not unhappy as he is slightly worried about the lack of work other than maths that he has done in the last 4 months. I have now suggested that he write a story based on his favourite X Box game instead. Apparently this will be started tomorrow!! I don't think I will bother to hold my breath though!!

My counsellor and I are trying a 2 week gap between sessions now. My measures are now at the bottom of the severe range so I now have to survive until the 16th July before we speak again...I know I should be able to cope with no problems, but I do feel as though some bully has stolen my security blanket and it is knawing at the edges of my anxiety. But I've coped with everything this week so I just have to keep everything we have been talking about at the front of my mind and look after me! I'm even tempted to try to learn more about my Ego, Super Ego and Id...we are meant to always be able to learn something new after all!

How Do I keep Going?

 This week I have totally reached the end of my very frayed tether. I am more exhausted than I have felt for months and I am also feeling isolated, un-needed and unwanted. |Mikey is settled at school, is doing well and making new friends and finding new interests. All I do it listen while he frantically searched for reasons for him feeling f=depressed. When he does come up with something you can guarantee that there is nothing I can do to cure or solve whatever he is worrying about. He also has new people he can talk to so I am certainly no longer needed. I've also had my latest lot of blood tests done. I can't remember my access thing for my results so I can't look at them. My memory is failing even more than usual and I hate this. I'm also in constant pain and I can't do anything that is part of my usual way of living. I really just want all this to end. I have no energy, I can't sleep and even cooking something simple leaves me feeling dead on my feet. All I

Lockdown, Day 90

Definitely thinking backwards today!! 10 years ago Andy had to take me to Hospital for monitoring as I couldn't feel the baby moving and a friend in Scotland (who was also pregnant) told me to get checked! I spent all of the Friday afternoon on a monitor and having blood samples taken. The original plan was for me to go in on Sunday for my induction so I was sent home as they were happy my bump was doing OK and there was nothing to worry about! That was my first experience that I remember of how tired hospital tests make me so I was not in a cooking mood! Dinner ended up being KFC and a tub of Ben & Jerries as I had decided that the bump couldn't put that much weight on in 2 days!  Just as I curled up with my tub the hospital called me and told me to go back the following morning as my blood tests had shown a problem. She did tell me what it was but I honestly can't recall what she said! The plan at that point was to do my induction as soon I arrived, so as I thought I

Worried

 We are now the day before Mikey starts at The North School....all they have done today is worry me even more that this is the wrong place for my son. I know all parents are protective - but he took so long to have and I really do not trust them to look after him properly. We have been provided a timetable which states that his first lesson is PE - Yr 7 parents have been told not to send PE Kit in tomorrow.... Also, he is in group 7x3....but the timetable has him in 7x2. If they can't send the right timetable how can I trust them to look after the most valuable thing I have? The chair of Governors has also sent a letter about the school joining the Swale Academies Trust. From what I have heard about this on local news I do not want my child at a school under their control. How can I get him out of there? Since I started writing this |I have e-mailed the Head asking why everything is so disorganised the day before they start and have said it will not help kids with autism as everyth
