That is really great news Piglet... great work on your behalf to get them all through also... the two that didn't show, well... exactly, nothing you could do about that. Really great work, and hopefully you give yourself a pat on your back for a job well done. As long as you continue only proving to yourself that you can do what you want to do, you will go great in helping yourself to beat this illness. Just to work in your condition, and maintain such high expectations and achievements for your students Piglet, you really do need to sit back and give yourself some bloody good back pats for excellent work under quite stressful times for yourself. Well done.

Well, I got really run down yesterday, and was in bed early last night. I just got myself past the fall over from reading through all the PTSD news backlog, and then the little fella has gotten the flu now and crook as all buggery, so I had to deal with him yesterday which took all my emotional and mental resources... at which point when kerrie walked through the door, I fell down on the bed and had to rest for an hour or so. Neither off us slept much last night, and I dare say tonight will be the same. He has a real deep cough, but not a flemmy chesty cough, which is the good side of it I suppose.

Hopefully he should be better within a day or two, and I won't get so worn out looking after him. I think that its purely the fact that I only have so much space compared to those without PTSD to cope, before stress, anxiety, depression and all the rest kick back in again for a short burst. I use up everything fighting back the symptoms I guess, until such time as help arrives so i can get relief from life. An hour later and I was good to go again, which was great, but then I fell over into bed pretty early last night, as I think I was just physically and mentally extracted from taking care of a sick toddler.

Pretty sound now, much better than yesterday and last night, being the weekend and kerrie is home to share the load with me, so today is pretty good and normal for me again.
