No therapy. This just happened 3 months ago.

What is the best way to deal with these memories? Sometimes they run through my mind and they change from what actually happened to something even worse, like my baby dying, or both of us dying. Then when it gets to that point I moan out loud because it is so horrible. Why does my brain do this...

I started pulling at my hair when I was pretty young, I remember first trying to quit when I was 13, so it was before that. I was able to quit a few times in my life, the last time being 6 months long. Now that my baby is in the hospital, and she had almost died, the pulling started again. I...

I am looking forward to my baby being able to sit up by herself again and stand up again and walk again. I am looking forward to her being able to nurse again and eat again. I am looking forward to her not being in pain or needing pain medicine. I am looking forward to holding her all day and...

I feel rested. I feel guilty for sleeping in. I feel rushed. I feel better physically. I feel afraid about some things that could happen in the future.

Thanks Sabrina, recovering from burns is such a very long and difficult process. I'm so glad that she will not remember any of this. My husband is at the hospital with her tonight. Today, I bought her a book called "on the night you were born". I almost cried reading it because it had a part...

Thanks so much for all your support last night. I finally went to sleep and slept from 5:30 to 11:30. I can't seem to shake the feeling that the hospital staff look down on me for sleeping. I know it doesn't make sense that they would and they even tell me that it's unhealthy if I don't get...

I feel better than last night. Just a small headache. More hopeful. Still a little frustrated. More peaceful overall.

Thank you for your replies! I do feel s wide range of emotions from day to day or even moment to moment. I feel so glad that she survived, but then I feel devastated that any of this happened in the first place.

And she has a trach as well. They tell me that getting her to eat again will be difficult.

Guess I should add, she can't nurse because she is on a feeding tube.

No I don't drink or take any medication. Although I could use something for this headache right now. I'm in the hospital with my baby right now. She will probably be here for another 2 months. I do need to drink more water, thanks for the reminder. I got vitamins but I forget to take them. I...

Thank you for your prayers and hugs. I think I'm just afraid to sleep, so I just stay up until I physically can't anymore

Thank you so much for your replies! I have been looking for somewhere to find support but I didn't really know where to look.

I have a headache. I feel tense. I feel nervous. I feel tired. I feel lonely.

I am reaching out tonight because I feel like I need support. I feel so alone and I don't want to bother my family and friends. Not sure if I need to put trigger warning? My baby has been in the hospital for 3 months. She was burned in a house fire, half her body 3rd degree. I stepped out of...
