I have just attempted to do some shopping, I have a prolapsed disc in my neck and had to take my dog in for an operation this morning.

I an in so much pain and worried about my dog and just totally lost it. Please tell me that I am not an idiot but just really struggling at the moment.

If course you’re not. Sounds awful for you.

Of course you're not an idiot. It sounds really difficult for you at the moment. Do you have support IRL?

You're not an idiot. Just going to Tesco is enough to make me want to cry, and I don't have a prolapsed disc or an unwell dog. Hope you and DDog are feeling better.

Of course not. I’ve cried all over the place. You are allowed to have emotions.

I hope your dog gets better soon.

Of course you're not an idiot. It sounds as though you've got a lot to deal with at the minute.

I hope you're feeling better soon and I hope your dog is OK and home soon. Take care of yourself Flowers

No you're not an idiot at all. You're in pain and worried about a member of your family. Sending Flowers

You're not an idiot.
I know how awful neck pain is and worry over a pet isn't any fun at all.
If it makes you feel better, I've cried in Lidl on more than one occasion so at least you're in a higher class establishment.
I hope your dog has a good outcome.

Thank you so much everyone, it's my first post but have always found everyone's responses so lovely.
Yes I am fortunate and have my sister coming over tomorrow to help with my children and dog.

Oh sweetheart, of course it’s ok for you to be upset and overwhelmed. Pour yourself a cuppa, try to relax (I do realise that’s not easy in your circumstances) and fingers crossed for you that your wee doggie is ok and home with you soon.

Flowers for you and a virtual hug.

Thank you, it's difficult because the medication they want me to take means i can't drive but with work and school runs its not an option.

You aren’t an idiot at all - just in pain, anxious and worried. You had to go to Sainsbury’s when you really wanted to be home, painfree and cuddling your dog. It’s so easy to feel overwhelmed sometimes.
I hope your dog recovers and you feel better soon x

Definitely not unreasonable.

Glad your sister is able to help. Hope you get some relief from the pain 💐

Thank you he should hopefully be home tomorrow, it was meant to be today but he started having seizures after the general anaesthetic so they want to do more bloods and observe overnight. Fingers crossed as he is only 1.

Not idiotic at all, I cried in the supermarket when I couldn't open a carrier bag.

I'm not surprised you cried with so much going on. Pain seems to make any other concerns so much worse.

Flowers for you and a gentle hug for your dog. Make sure you take care of yourself, as well as everyone else.

Flowers You are NOT an idiot.. it sounds really grot. Can you get an online shop sorted and stuff bloomin Sainsburies.
If its any consolation I did this once at the doctors, It came from nowhere and it really surprised me. It was when I limped in to GP have a large operation dressing changed as ordered by the hospital, no appointments for three weeks and when I feebly asked what I should do instead she snapped go back to the hospital to tell them so.
Sometimes it just happens when we are feeling unwell or vulnerable. Can you get any help for a few weeks until you are over the worst?

I hope you and your dog both feel better soon.
I have been known to blub in Sainsburys on occasion so I truly sympathise.
(The worst one was after my Dad died and I walked past the fudge - it was his favourite)

I have all a few ailments including fibromyalgia and chronic pain. I’ve cried all over the place. Including Sainsbury’s. I’ve collapsed there twice. And once or twice in M&S.
