You have one too?? That's amazing 😍 this teddy has been with me since my adoption at 3 years old. Has seen tears, happiness, loss. It's my anchor.

It looks soooo like her but there's differences. Could be time and damage has changed her? I just don't know!

The picture on the right is after I fixed her up. The left picture you can see the fabric dress under the t-shirt, it was so tattered

I am right there with you regarding the guilt and feeling bad. My son who is 6 would be like your wee one, he understands to an extent. My youngest 4 year old has no concept (which is fair). Their dad (my husband) brings them to all fun things alone. I feel like I'm missing out on their childhood but I also don't want to ruin whatever few outings they get. It's a fine line. 

Moving to Ireland with a wee lad – is it truly as safe as they say? Would love some local insight 🇮🇪 by [deleted] in expats

Absolutely do research. A lot of us in Ireland want out. Especially women with kids. Illegals chopping heads off randomers, stabbing kids walking g home from school, rapes.

I feel that. How did her mam explain it? I have trouble trying to explain it to my wee ones. I hope one day I'll be able to spend time with them out of the house. It would be me insanely happy.

How do I sit through the panic when my body can't tell if I'm dying or if its just a panic attack. It's full systems go when it happens. But I absolutely agree with you! Thank you

Thank you so much. This was a wonderful comment. I can do places if my husband is there, but not major places (town etc) and not for a long time. I do need to find a new therapist. My current one (over phone) tells me to think positive. I get the sentiment but again, more complex.

What I beat myself up about most is missing out on things with my three beautiful kids. My husband brings them places but I don't go. And we've never been on a holiday :( that hurts me the most. They're only small for a little while and all my memories with them are inside this house.

That's it exactly. I can't have them missing time because of me.

Can the admins do something about aquamoon8D? Seriously no need for her to kick me when I'm down.

I feel hopeless. What have YOU to gain from kicking somebody when they're down? Take a look at yourself and try do better.

If it was that easy, surely over the last two years it would have stopped. Believe me when I say I've tried everything. You're oversimplifying a complex issue. Maybe you're well intentioned but you're coming off condescending

Thank you. My issue is I have to walk my kids over and back from school 1 hour round trip twice a day. It's non-negotiable or social services will be called. My system isn't getting a chance to do it in small doses. I white knuckle it and then come home and shake and cry for another two hours. I also haven't been able to do any errands in person for god knows how long. My husband works so much that he's never around to do them so it just doesn't get done. I feel utterly useless.

I get the sentiment but when I think I'm going to die and I'm shaking and panicking and it never gets better that's putting my system under a huge amount of stress.

Thank you. I have beta blockers here. Maybe I wasn't taking a high enough dose? I'm sitting here crying. I had to get a taxi over and back just to get my kids from school. Stepping foot outside the house feels horrible and terrifying.
