I keep waking up between 2 and 3am every morning and can't get back to sleep. I am totally drained. I feel sick and heady all the time. I try to stick to my strict housework regime as I feel better once its all done. I can't rest til it is. I have to do set things everyday. I am on 20mg cipralex and 2mg diazepam. The diazepam doesn't make me feel any different. I still get panic attacks. I just want to feel normal again

oh i need sleep.....ds2 has been impossible all night. He has finally stopped crying but is clung to me like one of those little monkeys!! I was debating going out....I really have to go to the bank and put DHs wages in. But I can barely even walk in a straight line let alone get out the house. Not sure how I am going to get ds1 from school yet. SIL took him this morning for me but is at work now. I have only been taking ibuprophen but I'm feeling worse than I did yesterday.

totally full of a cold and feeling rotten. typical being on ads means you are limited to what you can take though

havent slept a wink all night. feel totally drained. feel all panicky this morning. The diazepam doesn't seem to help though.

Feeling totally rotten. Got a hell of a sore throat and bad head. I'm so run down. I just want a night when I can sleep through and a day when I don't have to run around like a mad thing all bloody day. I'm mentally and physically drained and feel as though I am perching right on the edge....

Titania, I think vict17 is very brave to make that suggestion. TBH, that was the first thing that went through my mind, but I know how much Molly means to you and didn't want to upset you/give you another problem to think about. Did you get my email? Sorry, had to go to Portsmouth yesterday and we didn't get back until really late. Check out your email and maybe you can help me work out this bl**dy MSN thing!

Titania sorry to hear things are bad for you. Just a couple ofsuggestions. Perahps the puppy is not a very good idea with 3 kids of that age? How would you feel giving him up if it's topping you going out of the house? Could you perhaps talk to dh about moving nearer to civilisation/family if it's making you so unhappy? Good luck with the AD's - hope they start working soon

another bad night. I went to bed at 9 and conked out straight away. DH sat watching the telly in the bedroom and I didn't hear a thing. Til 12.25 that is, wehn ds2 woke up. Then that set the puppy off so she was whining half the night. I totally give up. I feel like a walking zombie with a constant headache. DH is at work again today. He left at 7 so I had to get up then as all the kids were up then anyway. I feel so lousy....
