I know, I’ve not been a regular blogger so far this year, let’s just blame “stuff”, shall we? But today, I just had to share an achievement by our D. D – if you’ve read my posts previously – finds it very, very difficult to tell anyone at school if she’s worried about something. She […]
I’ve managed to tie myself up into proverbial knots at the moment, this isn’t a worry about a particular thing but all manner of things as we approach my operation on 21st August. Upon waking every morning I don’t think “oh, it’s (say) Tuesday” or “wonder what the weather is doing”, it’s more of a […]
Last week, D was invited to sing in a “summer gala” with her school, at a local secondary school. As anyone who regularly reads my blogs will know that D suffers from a great deal of anxiety but – and we are so, so pleased at this – her music teachers have a softly, softly, […]
It’s been a strange week this last week, a week in which D’s emotions, worries and anxieties about many things have dominated the days (and nights). The above had to be the one word that’s summed up our week. She’s had extreme anxieties around basketball after school club, so much so that we’ve stopped her […]
Delicate, volatile and fragile would describe D today. She was over-anxious this morning worrying about the invitation for the birthday party she’s going to on Saturday. She couldn’t find it in her carry-everything-in-it bag and wouldn’t let me look. Even though we know the time and place and I have the child’s mum’s number, D […]
If there were a spectrum of emotions assigned to D, we’d have definitely ticked off all the boxes today. She has had a very emotional day, to put it mildly. The school run this morning was fraught, both T and D are extremely weary in the run-up to half term and we were halfway along […]
This is D and Hubbie, hand-in-hand after a great trip to the circus (post below). We don’t get to take many pictures like this, D’s anxieties mean that she’s far more comfortable in her "safety zone" of her buggy and for years, she wouldn’t even let Hubbie push it, it had to be me. So, […]
D was the "star of the day" in her class (of 8 pupils) today and she was delighted. Statistically, of course, it stands to reason that she could be one every other week or so, but it was very welcomed, especially after the routine changes of the last few days. Her TA came down a […]
I don’t know why I’ve put a jokey title on tonight’s blog…well, I do. My initial instinct is to put something like "grrr, bl**dy school" or alternatively "taking no notice". Because I’m cross, extremely cross, on behalf of T. Our high-functioning little stat-man who has had an anxiety attack this evening over something that happened […]
