The Blur Has Begun To Lift and Clear Finally
A page in the diary "It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness."

The last week or so have blurred into one as my little boy struggles with yet another round (4th week) and a change of antibiotics to clear his ear infections. He is on the mend but has been through so much.
I hate that he is sick and I have been helpless to do anything but cuddle him and be there for him when he cries. Then I change the negative thoughts to positives. I have done all I can to make this time for him a little more bearable by being there to hold and comfort him, running warm baths and snuggling with him to watch cartoons under the doona.
Have not had time to even worry about about anything else and that has been very strange, having my focus totally on one main thing instead of many. It has helped to not have time on my hands to think too much aswell. I think that is where I can be my own worst enemy and to keep busy is one the the keys for me.
dewdrop thanks for your comment on my last diary, and yes there were some great coping strategies on the program for coping. I used some of those on the Saturday night when we went out for dinner and they helped a lot. Biggest one was keep your mind off the things that normally trigger the compulsions, by doing something else.
