supposed to go into town today to get costumes for the kids to dress up in for school on thursday with it being world book day. that means i got to keep dd off nursery and take her and ds2 with me. its pouring with rain and the thought of going out is making me break into a sweat and feel sick and dizzy. I ran out of ads on saturday. got to pick up my prescription later when i go for my couselling. I am dreading that. i feel so tired and weak.......dh has been pestering to go out for my birthday this week but tbh I am really not up to going out.

best of luck with getting into town today.

make sure you tell the counsellor about the "crash" last week; partly so you can talk about how to prevent it happening again, but also look at the reasons for the crash, and whether there might be something about the type of counselling the counsellor is using that is putting you under a lot of stress/giving you too many flashbacks of bad times.

sounds like part of the reason you feel so bad is being off the ads since Saturday - never a good idea to withdraw cold turkey! not nice, but hey at least an explanation

agree with cod that if you can go out - something nice and non-scarey like the cinema it probably will be better - at the very least make DH feel a bit more romantic taking you out!!!

Hi Titania...not much time to send a longwinded heartfelt message, but I can empathise with you I really can there are so many days when I feel like that abut going out.... just as long as you know you're not the only one big hugs hun

Can't you leave it until tomorrow? The weather is absolutely abismal here too. From the way you sound today, going to counselling is enough for one day. It's more important for you to make it out of the house for that and your prescription. x
