Looking back at the last few months I definitely felt like I was being pulled along, despite having a few highs like Ethan's fifth birthday and our trip to Disneyland Paris, the months were slipping through my fingers and the anxiety troubles I was having due to my health were always on my mind or in the back of my head. It took what felt like a long time for the fog to finally clear and for me to stop worrying and feel back in control. I've spoken more about this over on my YouTube channel, where I am also going to be sharing some of the techniques I used to help me get through that tough time.

So many things have helped me to get over that horrible night back at the end of February, time has been an excellent healer and the CBT combined with a new book I'm reading have helped a lot too. I'm booked in for an endoscopy at the end of June with my Gastroenterologist who wants to recheck for H.Pylori and to see if anything else might be going on in my stomach. And whilst I'm nervous about having a camera down my throat, it's reassuring to know that if there is anything nasty left, it will be found. The whole experience and all the months I spent anxiously worrying after the first night I went to hospital have helped me to learn and to grow. I think our experiences shape us, even the bad ones. It's just such a relief to finally see that it's going to be alright. Things feel brighter now and not just because of my brightly coloured family snaps this month. ;)
