Thanks Soul - it is awful. We've been here before and I know what can happen which is why I get so worried over it. Having said that, when he was out of work last time it was tough but we managed. I learnt then that although sometimes emotions do take-over a lot of the time I have a choice. I can sit and wallow and worry or I can choose to be more positive. Even if that is just to sit for a minute and say "right now in this moment everything is ok and therefore I'm ok". I need to remind myself of this a lot some days.
DD - good news about the cravings. As long as you have a plan for when they come back, you'll be fine.
