Okay so not the best sleep last night. It was Paddy again. I wish I knew how to fix this, I hate that he is getting so upset. The morning was good here, super busy but no huge dramas. I have been feeling really anxious at the moment though, but a different type of anxious than when I was suffering perinatal depression and anxiety. This is more of a butterflies feeling and short of breath. I have a feeling it’s because I’ve had so much on and I’m starting to feel snowed under then mixing that with a lack of sleep.
Today I felt like everything was catching up with me. It’s been a week of bad nights and I just have no fuel left in my tank. I also haven’t exercised properly in terms of my walks like I have been doing do that also doesn’t help this feeling.
Edi-Rae and I went to the doctors today for a checkup. Edi-Rae is clear in the chest thank god. The doctor just said it’s normal to have the cough and some snot for a while after a virus. I also explained my situation with the recurring throat pain and she suggested we both get on to zinc and vitamin c to help our immunities. I love that this doctor had a wholistic approach rather than just chatting about another drug to take. I felt great chatting to her and having some guidance of things I can do to help us all. Now I just need to remember to actually give myself and the kids the zinc and vitamin c. That is the whole issue
