Bit shit. I start counselling tomorrow. 6 sessions through work for PND. Bit scared of the process and how I’ll end up feeling. Not sure I’m ready to start any counselling, but work are putting it on and I feel like I have to comply.
Hope you get some rest.

Tonight, perky. For the first time ever, ds2 has gone down to sleep rather than snoozing on me. I'm hopeful he'll be able to do it tomorrow too

Flowers for you all x
Bad times are just times that are bad. I hope things improve for you all x

Extremely fucking confused

VogueVVague · 28/05/2018 22:17

I feel trapped and confused.

Dinoraw · 28/05/2018 22:18

I wish my dd would sleep. She's up out of pure stubbornness. Her bedtime was 2 hours ago and it's a constant fight with her.
I really want a bath and to go to bed :(

Shit. Had a cold for 6 sodding days now. I was up all night last night with a vomiting toddler. Knackered but for some reason I can't settle to go to sleep.

Frazzled, having to deal with home insurance and builders regarding fixing my kitchen after a flood, kids are off school this week and are going to various different holiday clubs and the logistics of all that and getting to work on time and making packed lunches when I have no fridge to store food is just turning me into a big old mess.

WeAllLiveInACoffeeMachine · 28/05/2018 22:19

And how many of us would say "I'm fine" when asked IRL?

LipstickHandbagCoffee · 28/05/2018 22:20

Thanks for asking!im feeing relaxed,hair mask on,face gel mask on,kids in bed hours ago

FrogCow · 28/05/2018 22:21

@weallliveinacoffeemachine I would. It’s my go to answer.

WeAllLiveInACoffeeMachine · 28/05/2018 22:21

LipstickHandbagCoffee you're aye that way are you not, ye always seem sussed on any thread I've seen ye onGrin

InDubiousBattle · 28/05/2018 22:22

I did actually say 'i'm feeling a bit shit actually' when my mate asked earlier!

LipstickHandbagCoffee · 28/05/2018 22:22

I have no reason to concoct an answer so whether it’s mn or rl, yea I’m good thanks

codswallopandbalderdash · 28/05/2018 22:22

A bit shit today to be honest. I fucked up at work big style with big new boss - so embarrassed. Then there was an incident at swimming with DS which really upset him and I let him down by not handling it well. I have my MIL arriving on Friday and she is already making lots of requests, all of which mean me doing something which I have no time to do. And DS wouldn't go to sleep this evening. Really hope tomorrow is better

TidyDancer · 28/05/2018 22:22

Anxiety was ramped up earlier today but have calmed it down a little now. Tired after a long weekend with not enough sleep. Nervous about work in the morning because that's what always happens when my anxiety has been high.

Thanks for starting this thread OP, would never actually have said any of that otherwise.

Barbaro · 28/05/2018 22:23

Depressed to be honest. Got a potential big surgery bill for my horse to pay for soon if insurance won't pay, and he may have a form of skin cancer too.

But been trying to make myself feel better today by going on walks, getting stuff sorted like lunches for the week and washing.

unintentionalthreadkiller · 28/05/2018 22:23

I'm happy my kids are on holiday, but actually I'm bored.

codswallopandbalderdash · 28/05/2018 22:23

And yes in RL I would say everything's fine - except to my v best friends

Littlelambpeep · 28/05/2018 22:23

I am married. Two dc. Great job but terribly terribly lonely. I don't admit that to anyone

Dh knows but he doesn't really 'get me' or need for stimulation outside of putting clothes on the line Hmm

InDubiousBattle · 28/05/2018 22:24

I wish I liked face masks and stuff like that. Or baths and candles..but i've never been keen.

WeAllLiveInACoffeeMachine · 28/05/2018 22:24

FrogCow I don't get it, never have. I only ask folk if I genuinely care (which I always do) but I don't get why folk ask when they clearly don't give a fuck.

Justwaitingforaline · 28/05/2018 22:24

Pretty rubbish. AF is due tomorrow and it’s month 25 of TTC. We found out last month we have a 0.1% chance of conceiving without ICSI due to Male fertility issues so period week is a real shitter for me.

In other news, I did just get a pay rise and we’ve almost saved our house deposit which we now need to think about troughing into for IVF
