In speaking with my Psychiatrist, we have decided it would be best for me to continue with therapy. I have decided that I would be best going to people who have been through what I have, or have had similar experiences. With my Phsychotherapist, I always had in the back of my mind, that she has been to school and is good at what she does, but she can't fully understand what I have been through. I start a group therapy/support group on Tuesday, and it is free. Money was always a factor as I was paying just under $150 per thrapy session and I was on disability and only making 70% of my salary. I will let you know how it goes. Sharon

Thanks Cassie. Things here are going okay. My home life is not that great. My husband and I don't fight or anything like that, because we never talk or are never in the same room. I love him, but I am not in love with him. I think I am staying because of the kids. I think it is better for the kids if we stay together. I have asked my husband if he would go to counselling but he thinks it is a waist of time. I see no hope. Sharon

Hi Gabbi, I am glad that you have family close to you. I would love it if my family was that close to me. Things here are going fine. I too am having mood swings. When I am at work I don't think about things and act all happy and jovial but as soon as I step foot in my house, my stress level increases and I can feel myself get really cranky and even mad. I am not happy in m marriage. I don't want to be married to by man anymore but I have two kids. We don't argue or anything like that, but we do nothing together and we don't even talk. I don't want to go through life feeling this uphappy. I know he feels the same way but he doesn't really seem to care. I don't know what to do. How are your kids? Mine are fine. They finish school at the end of June and have 2 months off. They are looking forward to the summer holidays. I won't be taken any time off during the summer as I need to save my holidays to come back home. I don't know when I will go back home but hopefully soon. Maybe I will come home for Xmas. I would be leaving my kids at home and therefore would not be spending Xmas with them. I don't know how I feel about that. I will have to think quite a bit more before I can make a decision. Take care and keep you chin up. Sharon

Things here are going fine. I am playing netball today for the first time in a couple of months. I am not as excited as I would have thought. I won't be coming back home in June as I had hoped. A couple of weeks ago I thought I could make it but I can't. My anxiety grew to where I was close the having a panic attack. How are things with you? How is the new house and how is your husband. I hope things keep getting better for you. Sharon

Hi Sharon,James Blunt was awesome i had a fantastic night i went with my best friend and sister in law.We stayed at a posh hotel in the heart of Sydney and it was great we have decided to do it once a year just have a little getaway from reality for a while it really done me the world of good to get away from the hustle and bustle of my everyday life. We have moved out of town and gone a bit further inland closer to my husbands work not sure that i really like it yet i love the house and we have 1.5 acres so the kids have room to move but we are leaving the boys at their old school which means alot of travelling time and plenting of rushing around but we've noticed a big difference in our eldest sons behaviour hes alot calmer then before because hes burning off all his energy by being outside all the time so thats a good thing.At our old house we had very little back yard.I am still playing netball how about you are you still playing? Its great to see that you are doing better we've come a long way havnt we?Dont get me wrong i still have my moments but its nothing like it was. Good on you for going to the gym i think that will give you a big boost to your self esteem.How was your night out at the Harlem Globetrotters?Do you know if you will be coming over here for your birthday or still undecided?How has work been for you lately? Take care.Gabbi. :)

Gabbi, How was the James Blunt concert? Who did you go with? I hope you had lots of fun. How was the move? How has your husband been? How are the kids? Are you able to play netball? Things here are going really well. I have increased my anti-depressant medication and decreased my anti-psychotic medication. I am feeling really good. Tonight I am taking the girls to the Harlem Globetrotters. It will be lots of fun. I am trying not to take things so personally and I am trying to change the way I feel about myself. I go to the gym 5-6 times per week and I think that really helps. Take care and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sharon
