Yeah I'm an essex girl - ha!ha!

My hubby works permanent nights. I know exactly how you feel on that one. Every time one of the kids coughs or shifts around in their sleep I'm gripped with terror! I love weekends!!!

Sending my eldest to school every day is a big thing for me too - dont get me wrong I always send her but if I hear something is going round or one of her close friends is unwell its so tempting to keep her safely tucked up at home. This phobia makes life such a battle doesn't it!

Have you ever had therapy or been on medication for all of this? I finally bit the bullet and asked for help after the nightmare of new year and am waiting to start therapy - was assessed as having anxiety and OCD along with emet - god knows what they're gonna do with me! xx
