You know what, Debbie? The biggest gift I've given myself and my family is to take time for myself. I work out 3 times a week (ok, sometimes only twice) but it is the BIGGEST stress buster in the world. I go on my lunch hour from work and I only go for about 30 minutes but, man, I tell you - you can get a lot of frustration out lifting weights or pedalling that darn bike.
You do need to take time for yourself. If you crash, where will your family be?
This site has helped me immensely too - I've made some treasured dear friends, even adopted a couple of them to be my sisters (now THERE's an interesting family picture) but it's a real salvation to just be able to talk to someone who understands how CH affects the whole family unit. You've sure come to the right place and we're all pulling for you.
Hope you find some relief soon but please really think about taking an hour to yourself today.
Feel free to email me directly anytime.
Hugs
