hope you get it sorted out soon
kids- well there kids.i cant wait for them to go back to school, but then again i am loving my lay in , in the morning. i can sleep until about between 8 and 10 in the morning. the kids trash the house but its so worth it. but i do miss school rutine. having the day to my slef. you cant beat that. i feel like a bad mum saying all this. but i think every mum is different
I don't think you're a bad mum at all @Bubbles3 - you've got three children close together and you have psychological issues as well - I do read some of them though I don't know how to answer them
Before we have children we have no idea how hard it will be - my mother had my sister when I was old enough to see the work that had to happen and I was amazed when a friend of mine who was expecting at the same time I was waiting for an adoption said
"How much work can a little baby make anyway?"
Still - when my son arrived I was totally disabused of my former ideas - it is a huge amount of work and it changes but doesn't get less
Take life day by day - that's all we can do - sometimes minute by minute
Nothing is happening to my knee yet - I am walking with crutches when I leave the house but maybe the idea of an operation is on my mind and I keep pushing it away - but really - I am just trying to get my head back into the right place about it - I will be okay but thanks

thanks @Owlunar
i know its hard. its been the hardest thing iv ever had to do. and its even harder with having mental health issues ontop of that. i do try to seperate my MH issues from the kids but sometimes it hard to do that. my 8 and 7 year old know what happening, i dont anything from them because it scares them even more. my 5 years old does really understand any thing yet but i know he will soon as he gets older

@Bubbles3 I am in the process of changing meds also and the side effects are not good - especially at night time. Over the next week that is going to get even trickier - need to wait and see what happens though - but constant monitoring by GP is needed.
I hope you continue to improve with yours Bubbles. Look forward to hearing an update after your appointments
