Well someone is definately trying to throw me off track this week. Daughter has PND and appears to have had it since her first baby nearly 3 years ago but wont really do anything about it, she has been recommended to a counsellor several times but once she fills her form in she gets a letter saying she has been discharged and this is before anyone has seen her. The health visitor has been so concerned she has taken her to the doctors on several occasions, but her medication although working in the first few weeks then stops working and daughter takes a nosedive. She has been getting worse over the last few weeks and last night she came round here asking if I would have her boys as she doesn't want them anymore. I tried to explain that she wasn't well and didn't really mean it, she was adamant she did, so I threatened her and said she had to ring the health visitor first thing this morning. She did this but health visitor was out but did ring back pronto saying she would go to see her this afternoon with someone to look after the boys whilst they talked and a mental health person and would get there at 4pm. They turned up at 2.15pm and were very very concerned, I rang DD several times asking if she wanted me there but she didn't, but around 4.30 she called and told me to go round. The mental health lady is very concerned, daughter has threatened suicide, has held a knife to her own throat etc etc and they would really like to admit her to hospital but she was refusing but they didn't think she could cope with the children at the moment and would I have them so she could get some sleep as she is hallucinating and hearing things due to sleep deprivation. So for the time being I am looking after my grandsons aged 2.5 years and 1.5 years........ she dropped them off this evening and I have sent her home to sleep. Now problem is 1.5 years is allergic to everything and I am a bit worried about feeding him the wrong things, he is allergic to dairy, wheat, gluten and soya...... ho hum!! He is also on medication which I am trying to remember to give him too..... please keep your fingers crossed that I manage to stay on track..... what with DHs redundancy (which is obviously going to happen as bossman has been going through his CV with him and ringing job agencies and wants to talk to DH again tomorrow) and my poor daughter who is going through hell at the moment, she has a crisis team going to see her tomorrow morning who will hopefully sort out a plan for her to get her well again. In the meantime DD and SIL have been given a number to ring overnight if she deteriorates at all..... actually probably wont have time to eat anyway....... thank you for reading!!

Oh lord Greeneyes... you must be worried sick. Your poor DD. This is a heartbreaker... really.
Please stay on track if you can, you are doing SO well. Stay busy with the little ones, that may take your mind off the worry. The fact that she is getting help is good, but I can only imagine how distressing this must be on top of the anxiety about Mr Depp's job.
Hug for Greeneyes.

Oh what a difficult time for you all, but it is good that your DD is finally taken seriously! Hopefully they can work out a treatment that works for her so that she can become herself again.
Big hugs to all of you - and don't forget to take care of yourself in all of this! Lean on your family when you need to as they will no doubt lean on you! :hug99:

Linda, what a dreadful time for all of you. I am pleased that your daughter is finally getting some help and hope that it isn't too long before she starts to make a recovery. You must be so worried.
Like the others have said, being occupied with your little grandchildren will hopefully keep you so busy you wont derail. You are really being tested by "him upstairs" aren't you?
We're all here for you and will do all we can to help and support you.
Love and prayers to you all xxxxx

So sorry to read all this Linda, you must be worried sick. Now that all the health professionals have got going I'm sure things will improve for you all. Thank goodness your daughter has you to turn to.
I'll buy a lottery ticket this week and keep my fingers crossed. It could only ease the strain of Mr Depp's redundancy though.
Big hugs, thinking of you. xxx

Am still on plan but dont have much time to update...... so I am pleased about that, I will not eat the boys leftovers...... lol
Anyway, crisis team has been to see daughter and they have a plan devised for her. She will have daily care for the next 2 weeks when they will then hand over to mental health who will organise whatever help she needs. She is not banned from having her children, its just that them being there isn't helping her at the moment. A crisis doctor will also be out to see her on Friday to decide if she needs medication or not.... She is leaving the boys here another day and will either pick them up tomorrow evening or Friday once her plan is in place and hopefully supporting her. In the meantime I WILL stick to plan..... lol
I will try and catch up with diaries later, but I am so behind with work I may have to do that instead. My boys have cubs tonight and there is a competition so having to make cookies after school. Thanks everyone for your very supportive messages, it is really such a nice place to spend time, on here amongst friends. Thank you all so very much.

I'm so relieved that your daughter is getting the proper help now Linda. You must be relieved also. Such a worrying time for you. I so admire your resolve to not let it scupper your efforts. Well done hun xxx

Why Be Normal?
Hi Linda,
I am so pleased that your daughter is getting some help. Because PND is a "female thing", according to "experts" like Tom Cruise not real -- medical professionals tend to dismiss it to easily.
Your poor daughter, here she is with PND, and those of us without it feel like we aren't being good mothers most of the time, and then her children are close in age and younger one has all kinds of allergies. (And, it is not as if he was born with a note telling her this fact -- I have been watching a friend of mine go through a nightmare of trying to sort her child's medical issues and it looks as if it is food alleries.) She must be totally drained.
I am glad that she has you close at hand -- and that you are so experienced with children. It can't be easy at all, especially when you are dealing with DH's impending redundancy. But, sometimes I think that you get another issue of more critical importance (i.e. your daughter's mental health, and her children's needs) to help you focus.
I really think there is something in this Ying/Yang thing and that your life will soon be "rebalanced", so I am praying that the good things come soon and your life ends up on a more even keel.
BIG GROUP HUG!!! :grouphugg:

Well daughters crisis team managed to get an important appointment first thing this morning with a psychiatrist, but they give her a full going over too as in take bloods to check for any imbalances etc, so this is a good step in the right direction after so long fighting for help. Shame it has to get to this to get the help though. Hopefully this evening she will be taking the boys home and tomorrow will be her first full day with them alone, but she knows I am here if she is having problems. She will also be having the crisis team coming in daily so she should be okay.
Me, well this morning I got on the scales and had a gain, thats after still being 100%, so bit gutted and it was enough to send me into a panic (they have gone up less than 1lb), and I have been desperately trying to decide what to do to counteract it, but deep down I know it is just a slight fluctuation that we all get, its just that it is making me panic and I am also starving hungry already and only had breakfast at 8am...... oh well back to Thomas the Tank Engine.

Linda, so glad that things are moving along regarding your daughter's care. She will be back better than ever pretty soon. You are a wonderful support to her and the boys.
Don't let a little fluctuation derail you - you don't want to end up being the Fat Controller!!! Sorry Linda, but I couldn't help myself.......with your references to Thomas the Tank Engine. BTW I love the music to TTTE

Greeneyes you have been doing brilliantly. You're the hero! Please don't let the slight gain shake you, it has happened to me a few times for no apparent reason but always puts itself right very quickly. Just keep going. Hope you got some time to catch up with work, and that your DD is feeling a little less lost and frightened.
Thinking of you all.
