Hello Linda,

Welcome to nmp. Your son's illness will have completely drained you and no wonder. When our children are ill it is very difficult because they are your life. You sound very sensitive and sometimes life is more difficult when you are like this. It's very hard to change what you are as a person, isn't it?!! I am also very sensitive and over-analyze and wind myself up, so no wonder we get anxious and down. You are not alone. You are probably worn out and need lots of tlc. Be kind to yourself. You deserve it. With time and rest you will see light at the end of the tunnel. You'll get lots of support from people here who feel just like you. You won't always feel like this.

Hi Linda. How are you today? I have just sunk back into a phase of panic attacks. I really like reading the posts on here and seeing that other people feel the same way. Some of them make me laugh...and cry... because they are so similar. I do hope your son is better. I have two boys and they are both out in the USA. The sun has been out here but not looking forward to the rest of the week and more cold weather. Spring must be on its way!
