Am I allowed to sit and wallow in self-pity tonight?

[MyGhastIsFlabbered]

I've just had one of those months where nothing's gone right. I'm just sort of teetering between sink or swim, one more thing, big or small could tip me right over.

Tomorrow I'll pull my big girl pants back up and crack on with things but for tonight can I just sit, have a little cry and feel sorry for myself.

Oh and you have to sing and dance along

Haha @Butterisbest it needs the capitals!
@Nunyabusiness I haven’t had one of those in years. I must be owed at least 6! They’re only a bite each surely??

Thank you everyone. I feel slightly better about snaffling my entire body weight in junk food earlier.

This is a lovely thread. I'm right there with you all ♥️ on one of those big 360-degree sofas with tons of pillows in the middle

Pfft. Junk food is also therapeutic. It is part of the recovery process.

Oh my, tunnocks tea cakes, fabulous little creatures. Do others take a weeny bite, pretending that you're not going to shovel the rest in, cos I do. Once the weeny bite is taken then the pretence is over.

I love Tunnocks tea cakes.
Perfect little morsels they are.

Make some room for me OP!

I find it hard to give in and cry about things but recently when things have been really shit / bad news, I've set aside a couple of hours to absolutely wallow.

It's done me the world of good, it's a bit painful letting go and being sad but I've realised our brains need that time to try and process what's happened or it all snowballs.

It's so comfy here on this Mumsnet collective sofa that I can't be arsed to get up. So can one of you rustle me up a cup of tea? Cheers

I’m joining the pity party for tonight. I’ve got wine and chocolate!
Had a shit year and it just doesn’t seem to be getting better. It’s so frustrating when you’re doing all the right things and nothing improves. I hope you’re ok OP

Dc3 is my slave for the evening on the agreement that I will be his tomorrow, so he’d be more than happy to make cuppas for everyone!!!
No moaning at all.

@Namechangedfor this60 Kettle's on, Name. Kettle's on.

whoops - that was meant for @AFairlyHardAvocado !

I just ate a fucking Peperami

@saltandvinegararethebest

Cheers pal. Milk no sugar. I assume from your name that you have access to endless bags of crisps and yes I will try some. Ta

@Lackademic

That makes me feel better about eating a massive piece of cheddar straight from the fridge.

@AFairlyHardAvocado You're welcome. They are chipsticks. Big bags. I highly recommend.

Now I'm in the mood for a good story. Any takers?

Of course you are! I'll bring some chocolate biscuits and a fluffy blankie for you all. Dunno what's wrong with me, three separate news stories made me cry today. I'm blaming tiredness.

Me too OP. I’m another one who cried at the news earlier! And then this afternoon, home by myself, I had a really big cry about all the stuff that’s been going wrong and the stress and anger and emotions. I felt so bad.

Then perhaps an hour later I felt quite a lot better and did some cleaning and tidying and cracking on with things. But it wouldn’t have happened without giving in to my emotions and really feeling it all.

Morning lovelies. How are we all feeling today? I've managed to pull my big girl pants up at least halfway but am home with DS1 who has diarrhoea. Joy.

Oh bugger. Hope he’s feeling better soon.
