taking a break
from MD for a while.
I've decided it's not healthy the amount of time I'm logging on. The fact that I feel stuck and a bit broken waiting on the results of Luke's testing means that returning to a baby forum isn't helping, even if I just stay for the OT bits. I've been using the forums as a crutch and inadvertently stopped talking to my husband and family.
I've made a plan to look for some volunteer work to help me get out and improve my confidence and anxiety. I've completed my recent MD PP duties so I feel that now is a good time to sig off. thanks to everyone who has offered me advice and support from the early days to recent times.
Maybe I'll be back, who knows?
