No one bloody cares!!!!

[recklessruby]

Aibu to need some time away from everyone?
One friend is depressed and won't take her medication so is saying she hears voices and slamming around in a terrible mood.
Another friend is scared of night driving so asks me to drive her places after dark.
Dd has been ill with a vomitting virus and is still so tired she needs massive sympathy (she's 24 and lives at home).
I am doing all the cleaning with a bit of help from ds 30.
Aibu to scream and scream and scream until I m sick?
I have bipolar and I need to look after myself too. It's taken 3 days just to have enough time to dye my hair(dip dyeing is quite a long process).
I just want to be a person not a counsellor.
Fwiw I m in a caring role all day at school.
Urgh!!! Leave me alone!

You seem a bloody good friend to drive that pal around!

Thanks. We ve been friends nearly 40 years. She's not the worst. It's the depressed one that's really getting to me. She screamed at me that it's ok for me because I m thin! I m not thin. I am 11 stone 8 at 5 foot 7. She's always on a diet but then binges on doughnuts and custard.
Dd is just a drama queen.
Ds is being lovely so I should be grateful for that.

Thin or not we all have our own burdens! At least there is an end in sight with DD and hopefully she will be on the mend soon.

There's a very good book called ' the selfish pig's guide to caring' Really helped me and obviously from its title does so I. a really upbeat way. I was you a few years ago, a grown up dd and pare ts and sister non drivers, sister had depression, mum and dad just old and cantankerous basically and l was forever driving someone somewhere or on the phone or shopping for the fourth time that day. I was burning myself out and you will too if you're not careful.
