Have you ever tried making one of those castles out of cards? I've never been very successful.
But I'm comparing my real life situation to this right now because things are going so well for myself. The children seem to being doing really well and I've just landed the perfect job for me.
Before I became ill I never would have assumed that anything wrong could happen, but now I'm thinking things are going too well!? Perhaps I'm just trying to blow over my own house. :o

Willow, I am delighted for you- I know you have been through some difficult times recently. I think it's perfectly normal to 'wait for the other shoe to drop', but I went through a period of over 6 years without any symptoms and was able to hold a challenging job and be a great Mom and wife. It is what I strive to achieve again and thank you for sharing your success. enjoy!- judy

Willow: Sometimes when things have been so hard for so long we become uncomfortable when things are good because we are not used to it. It may be because we either did not know how to make things better OR we didn't think we deserved it. I have self-sabotaged myself. The worst thing I did was to get married when I should have gone on to school. But I have forgiven myself. Think about your feelings about "things going to well" Does success frighten you? It sure scares me, But I don't know why. Once I get my meds, I hope I will be doing better. Don't sell yourself short! You are a great person & probably deserve the great job & kids doing well Kathy U.

Ugenia, you are right concerning the comfort of what is familiar. I think last night when I posted I was tired and starting to feel slightly melodramatic.
Judy, I wouldn't call the job as overly challanging. It is a casual support position, an on-call basis for three hour shifts, but for myself it is stimulating and I guess that is what counts. I'm able to apply what I have learnt at college and hope to in the future on a part-time basis to be able to complete the diploma.
Thank you so much for your support. It always bring some sunshine along with it! : )
Willow
