Sunday has come around quickly again. This week has been pretty good, helped by only having to do school runs for 4 days (this half-term didn’t start until Tuesday).

My recent posts have been a bit dire haven’t they? This blog is supposed to be my happy place. Oops.

My eldest has been having less anxiety episodes since starting Year 11, but when they do appear, it’s horrible to see and I feel so damn helpless. Today, he was doing his maths homework (a GCSE paper) and struggled with a question. I could see he was getting agitated, but wasn’t quick enough to intervene. As I urged him to take a break, he leapt off the chair and ran to hide under a blanket. He then spent the next 10 minutes thrashing about and going into a state where he won’t respond or let anyone touch him.

I was just browsing through some really old posts and saw one that gave me a bit of a scare (and not the Halloween kind). I’d found a lump in my breast and spent a few days worrying before the doctor checked it over and determined all was well.

Happy Halloween everyone!
