Thank you Collette, Jane, and SJD,

Okay, I'm not in this alone :) and maybe there is hope. It's so hard to imagine life without frustration, anxiety, and mood swings. I'm gonna keep going just for the possibility that this can happen. Jane's sharing about her daughter really helped; I know that my daughter is especially sensitive to my moods, if I'm relaxed and open, so is she. I've got to try! Got another breakfast in today, thanks Collette for writing, why am I putting this all in terms of failure and success? And SJD, you're right, just building a tower :)
