Right now I feel like my life is in tatters keep breaking down, can't sleep and I'm neglecting the house. I know I'm dealing with loads in my personal life but is this normal it was meant to start getting better once it was out in the open, yes I know its early days but how much can my family really put up with.

Sorry for moaning.

Hey listen you just did something that when I did it floored me for more than a week. Bringing it out in the open is the beginning of healing, not the end. You can only spend your energy once and this week you've spent it on giving a statement.

If you are desperate about the house set a timer for 30mins and pick up what you can in that time and then see what else you may or may not want to do.

Your family can put up with plenty more - it's for the benefit of all of you in the long run. FWIW when I went through this I had bad complex PTSD, dh had a bad bout of depression and as you know ds is disabled. We're all still here doing fine :)

I got a call back from crisis centre this morning I spoke to them Friday morning on phone they've given me an appointment for Thursday morning, there's been times in this last week that i've been in such a dark place. Never felt like this in my life only time I feel fully in control of everything is if I'm out driving took off on Saturday and drove for 2 hours. Having panic attacks and jumping at the slightest thing. DD's know but DS doesn't his understanding isn't there.
