I appreciate that so much, thank you. It's never easy trying to re-live it is it! x

Thank you for your efforts in writing about your experiences. My memories are so acute, and so similar to yours. I particularly identify with the triggers that aren't just food, light and smells were big ones for me too. I remember valiantly trying to put my son to bed during my 3rd pregnancy and running away to vomit because if the smell of his hair, still the memory distresses me, that the smell of my own beautiful child could do this.

Thank you again.

Oh my goodness, I completely understand. The boys' hair always held the smell of outside and it would be such a huge trigger. Well done pushing on through to welcome three children... it's not easy by any means x

This is amazing! it’s made me emotional reading so can only imagine how hard it must have been to write but I can’t explain how much I appreciate reading someone else’s experience that has been similar to my own. Thank you for sharing and always shining a torch on a condition that is often misunderstood and nearly always underestimated
