[QUOTE="MissLulu, post: 758577, member: 24721"] This is one for the ladies! I seem to cycle through good patches and bad patches in terms of how I cope with my son. Essentially nothing has changed for months. As far as we know he is stable, but we have very limited contact with him (a text once a week or so) so it's hard to be sure. In any case, there's no hard evidence that his situation has changed, but my mindset seems to vary wildly. One day I can be mentally strong, coping well and getting on with life - the next day I feel teary and anxious and I can't concentrate on anything but thoughts of my son. I'm beginning to wonder if there is something more going on wth me - if perhaps my mood swings have a hormonal component. I'm 54 and heading towards menopause so perhaps that is why I seem to backslide so often in terms of my mood. I was wondering if anyone else fluctuates like this without a change in their child's situation? Maybe it's normal to have good days and bad days? I don't know... [/QUOTE]
