Hi amy, oh poor you you must be so tired. Have you tried just giving him water in the night? He might not wake up as much if he's not getting booby!
If you are tearful and anxious then it might be worth speaking to the doc, you've been through a lot haven't you so its probably all catching up and going back to work isn't helping. Have they eased your workload a bit or not? xx

yeah they have eased it, i refused to go in today so they have re looked and im back tomorrow and got 3 less calls. james said to go to doc, am really struggling leaving dylan, cried for 4 hours last night and i dont know why lol, not like me to cry either, will see how it goes, hopefully ill get used to it soon, got a refresher course for 2 weeks from 7th nov and its 9-4:30 and takes 1 hr to get there and back, dreading it so bad never left him for a full day. sure it will get better, no one understands though, keep getting told to stop being silly, but im scared of leaving him its an actual fear and i dont think they understand how hard it is to fight against it, sorry to moan, always feel better fro everyone on here xx

Its pretty bad that you have to refuse to go in for them to do anything isn't it but at least they are listening now. Are you going to go see your gp? Sounds like your anxiety is quite bad, my a/ds have just been doubled as my anxiety was spiralling out of control, panicking about max all the time, so I know how you feel - nobody can take care of him like you can that's how you feel and that he needs you there and that if you're not something might happen. Even though you know in your head that he's absolutely fine with your partner. To a certain extent they are normal feelings for any mum to have but when they get out of control then you need to do something before they take over xxx
