I know it's easy for me to say don't worry, just take it day by day but tomorrow you will be blessed with a beautiful new baby, just enjoy it!Am I alone in feeling a rising sense of panic that we are going into another lockdown?
I'm going into hospital tomorrow to be induced with my second baby. I'm fearful that by the time I come out again everything will be locked down, school closed in January. My daughter will be devastated if school is closed, she was crying at having to miss a few days because of chicken pox a few weeks back. My mental health will not be able take home schooling and a new born.
My mind is racing with it all and I'm terrified of another lockdown.
I've been avoiding reading news because it makes me feel panicky, I might also have to leave this thread at least while I'm in hospital as I can feel my chest tightening while reading it. This isn't going to end well surely we can't go through this again
I know how difficult it is when schools close, I have 3 children and my middle daughter (14 last year) started self harming and last November tried to kill herself and she was the child you would never imagine would do something like that, it effects people differently , my eldest was doing his GCSEs, he's autistic and thought lockdown was the greatest thing ever because he could stay in his room and not engage with anyone, did the least amount of online schooling managed to pass his exams and is now at college studying to be a professional chef! And my youngest turns 11 tomorrow, carefree and beautiful and doesn't give a hoot about anything.... If you need any support there's plenty of us on here to give hugs and support, just don't stress and Good luck for tomorrow..... sending you lots of
