I totally understand what you're saying, but when you need help you NEED help. And you will want help with the baby...trust me. You will be so happy for someone to come over just so you can catch a nap :) And I'm not talking about having a circus of people over...just one or two. Wait for my "F" post...it very clearly distinguishes the difference between company and friends.TheCyborgMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566379902847952987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3794526199796396923.post-23814815981129162512014-04-03T23:42:44.018-04:002014-04-03T23:42:44.018-04:00OMG!

I am not really that good with company because I feel like I have to be "on" when people are around. When I was initially hospitalized for my disease I was SO overwhelmed by all of the visits from family and friends that I made Rob keep secret where my eye surgery was when I had to have it a couple of months later. I simply could NOT handle it. Of course, in turn, it became easier and easier for me to shut people out during my entire recovery process. <br />The thing is, we all have our weaknesses and flaws, and this, I know, is mine. I need to be more open with people in person, particularly, when I am vulnerable. I am going to work EXTREMELY HARD to accept the help that is being offered to me for when the baby is born next month (DID I JUST WRITE NEXT MONTH?!?!? *panic ensues*). It is a goal of mine. And, to tell you the truth, reading your blog and following your path to recovery has been helping me wrap my head around the whole idea of it, so thank you!NVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267219296647761938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3794526199796396923.post-74190327691387048832014-04-03T21:15:46.777-04:002014-04-03T21:15:46.777-04:00LOL.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people just drop by unannounced. I need at least a half hour...enough time to change out of pj's, slap on a bra, and toss the mess into the nearest closet!

You're right. Sometimes just getting out of our own head space and listening to others and what's going on outside our own door is the best thing for us. <br />HMG<br /><br />Heather M.
