Hiya

You sound like you can see chinks of light and acknowledge that you can have good and bad days.
I also had pnd which triggered other things.
We should be proud of ourselves for the progress we have made huh?

Hello April,

Glad to see you've been doing well overall and its good to have you back if you are needing help for a blip.

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.
How big is your gallery ?

Hi April,

A real warm welcome back to the site.

You have a lovely son, who I am sure can make you smile, even on the difficult days - think positive.

Take care

love

Elaine

Hi April,

Take comfort in your son, and try and remain positive.

First Anxiety...then panic attacks...now GAD and depression
