hello Betty, I hope I can send this post ok because I am having some trouble connecting to the Internet today...Well done, you have made it through another day and if you are taking your medication as prescribed it is getting shorter and shorter until they work and you feel better able to cope. I know that somehow you do manage to get the energy to cope with caring after the kids but I was a bit concerned because not so long ago you said you couldn't feel much for the baby anymore...something like that. That is the way I used to feel too. You just need a break apart from everything else. Is anybody giving you help with the children? I know how you feel about showers but you are just carrying on the punishing cycle...Just like Bernd says I used to find that I did not want to have a shower but my SO or the kids used to run me a lovely, deep, bubbly bath and I used to soak for ages and I found that what used to keep me going was reading a novel that was based on a story in a tropical island. It was just a fantasy type of book but it help me a lot. It was just like being in a perfect world whilst I waited for the medication to work. (and it did Betty...) Hang on in there, sweetheart. I know you'll make it. One question Betty... You say that what I said "made sense". Which part of it were you referring to...Take care Betty. Lots of love and hugs, Josie
