I'm greatful for having a partner that no longer stresses when things go wrong and just gets on with it. And when I stress he calms me down.

Here's a challenge.

Go find someone who is having a hard time at the moment and find some way to encourage them and help them feel appreciated/important/cared for.

Call me strange if you will...But I am thankful for my past PND and depression.

It made me grow up, reassess many aspects of my life. Made me really work out what makes me happy and what I needed to do to get happy again. And it got me to really work on myself for once and put my needs up there in importance. Where formally, a midst the severe PND, I would put anybody first, except myself. So even if it was short periods of time I would have, just for me, I made sure I took some time for me. As I got very lost in who I was after having baby #2 and I was just serving my children and my partner and forgetting about me. I had a bit of an identity crisis. I didn't know who 'I' was anymore.

So I went on anti-depressants for a while and got some great counselling. And I can't rave enough about how effective CBT(cognative behavioural therapy) is, as a counselling method. And now, I'm much, much happier. I feel confident even and I'm really sure of who 'I' am.

Man, I can tell you, I used to be quite bitter and always took things written or said out of context. And some things on here too. So sorry if I snapped at anyone during that period. Hopefully I didn't. But I used to be a big mess and got quite offended over trivial things.

This is really nice. Good to read if you feel discouraged.

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Just wanted to share some nice quotes I read about parenting, that made me smile

"Being a parent isn't about not wanting anything, it's about passing up your wants for your child's. Nothing makes me happier than a hug & smile from my daughter"

"As a parent, I pray for silence, then when I get it, I am wondering why the kids are being so quiet. It is never a good sign!"

"A Child Is something you hold in your Belly for 9 Months, In your Arms for 3 Years But in your Heart for A Lifetime!"

Nah sorry, mine is a practical car for a family, but not a chariot. Though I wouldn't mind a car with more seats, DP would so not buy a 6+ seater car! He wants an Altezza!

We have a Suzuki Cultus 1996 stationwagon. Actually it's quite good, just needs an oil change(but this weather is not helping!) and hand brake re-adjusted. We just did the spark plugs and it's like a new car!

Cool thread :)

I am greatful that I have been offered a job which will let me be with my precious wee girl most of the time, that we are finally in a position to start enjoying our lives financially, that we were blessed with the most perfect wee girl in the world, the huge smiles I get each morning when she wakes up, the noises which will soon turn into laughter, the recognition on her face when I walk into the room, the raspberries she has just learnt to blow, the immense love I have discovered inside of me for her..

Aww haha - warm fuzzies!!

I am happy to see some more posts on here. Brings a big smile to my face

Also, I am happy to own thermals right now! Brr, it's cold in Wellington!

I am also happy, I have to lovely girls and 2 loyal, affectionate cats. I used to have another, but she decided she was too good for us and moved to the old neighbours, as they fed her the good stuff!

I am so, so happy, that my depression is starting to lift, that I have such great friends, family and supports, online and offline. That even if life gets hard, it will be ok and I now know I can get through it. As I used to be severely depressed and had a very, very bad case of PND and I thought, that misery, despair and anxiety was never going to leave. I saw no hope and no end to it. I lost the plot regularly and I could not cope. So it is amazing that I am coping and I am doing better. So didn't see it coming and so glad I'm getting better...14 months later.

Thankx especially for those of you on here who have been a great support and understanding. I love you all for that!

I'm sad I just found this thread and realised I completely missed out on going to a pamper evening! Oh well, I note there will be another in September...GREAT IDEA chickielou

I was trawling through looking for something to post nice things in. I post in the vent thread but thought I'd love to be able to write something like this...

Thank you for driving all the way to Hamilton and back so we can visit my family, for holding my hand after we left my parents and I needed to cry and you were still driving, and for loving me every single day, despite my crazy family.

I also have entertainment, this time is Zumba, Belly dancing and a fashion/masquerade show and a live medium show........

Life would be boring without a bit of conflict every now and again. If nobody ever challenged me than how would I grow and develop as a person and especially as a parent. ]]> Mon, 04 Apr 2011 16:04:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38641&PID=1299274&title=heres-something-different#1299274 <![CDATA[Here’s something different.... : Oh and I am grateful for getting...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38641&PID=1299262&title=heres-something-different#1299262 Author: escadachic

IM super grateful that we dont have a nuclear power plant in Christchurch.....or anywhere in NZ!!!!!

And that my baby has been asleep for 3hours.........and that my DH is on holiday for a week in less than 2 weeks (yay cos it will be school hols then also)

and that I have an awesome support group of ladies from the Dec09 thread that arent judgmental, we all have opinions and respect them and we never get into any arguments and we are all mature and get along so Well!!!!!

.....I honestly cant see how the grateful thread disappeared, I could go on for a lifetime about what im grateful for!!!
