To Just Want To Build A Den And Hide

[queeneileen]

I was put at risk of redundancy last year and fortunately interviewed and got one of the new jobs they were replacing ours with. However, the whole place has been horrendous since and I'm suffering panic attacks at least twice a week.
My DP's nan is dying, it's the anniversary of his dad's death next week, and his uncle is being treated for cancer. My dad's constantly ill and I've got a teenager and a disabled mum.
My doctor told me today that if I want a baby, then I best not wait any longer as, because I have history of miscarriages, I've only got the next 4 years to have the NHS help me out if I can't do it naturally. I don't even live with DP yet.

I feel old and tired, and miserable, and like I need a fecking holiday and a big cry. I don't feel like I'm getting a reasonable emotional break and I can only imagine how my DP is feeling.

I need a break. I'm building a fort of pillows and duvets.

Didn't want to read and run. You have clearly been going through the mill.

I have no real advice, though perhaps a visit to your GP may be a good idea. You sound possibly depressed.

I do know what it is like to feel that everything is conspiring against you.

I'll join you in that fort, it sounds brilliant. I have a pack of Mars Bar mini rolls to contribute. Also some for you.

Totally understand. When I get really down I google Apollo Duck and fantasise about continuous cruising with my DDs on a narrowboat!

Excellent. I have several tubes of pringles and some diet coke. Oh and some vodka.

Should I make sandwiches?

Tops I'm gently miserable which is liveable with, I just need a break from everything. Don't honestly feel like I've had chance to recharge in a long time.

I have and to offer. Can I join?

All welcome, Summer

OVienna - I bloody love canal boats. The smell of the woodburners is just delightful in the winter.

Make sure to put fairy lights in it.

Mars Bar mini rolls?? New one on me.

We're going to need a bigger fort.

clean - oooooooooooooooooooooooh yes!

There's nothing fairy lights can't fix!

Room for a small one? I've got half a bottle of Hendricks and some naice glasses.

'Gently miserable' resonates here. I am seriously plotting a potentially drastic move which I fear could be driven by the simple need for a proper, no quirk interference holiday. And a break from bad news.

In the meantime: virtual Cocktails at my mooring- elderflower gin and tonics to start. Stiff ones!

No 'work' interference

shuffles over

It's a shame we all need a break in the Feck Off Fort.

I'm terribly glad I'm not on my own though.

Not at all! I feel the same.

Can I come? I'll pick up a takeaway on the way over.

At this rate, you'll all have to bring your own pillows and duvets for the extensions!

I feel like we're creating a cushiony Milton Keynes.

Julio yes, look! www.britishcornershop.co.uk/mcvities-mars-mini-rolls-6-pack

Milton Keynes? Ok, as long as it doesn't have quite that many roundabouts.

Feeling any better this morning op?

I'll bring cushions!

I like Feck off Fort I can contribute the last of the Easter chocolate to the den. And sympathy strokes for you OP.
