I have also had a fiance in a hip to ankle brace after reconstructive surgery so I overnight became the domestic goddess doing everything from Nursing him, to cleaning, cooking and preparing everything for the festive season.
(well Husband to be)
To say I was exhausted was an understatement, I was mentally and emotionally drained and it really took its toll on me,Ill be honest with you lovelies here, I have an anxiety disorder and have suffered depression my whole adult life, I am not ashamed and I feel empowered to share this about myself. I am tough and I weak and I can be honest about it. I seek treatment and solace in the people and things I love when I start to feel the cloud take over and its not long before it moves on and I am feeling more like the bubbly little blonde everyone knows and loves.
