To start a bad day support thread?

[loie]

I've been so positive for weeks through stress but for the past few days (especially today), it's been a bad day.
Woke up late, felt guilty because DS didn't even have a proper breakfast.
Spent my whole morning/lunchtime desperately applying for jobs as it's urgent for me now.
Spent my whole afternoon when I was supposed to be doing the cleaning that I haven't done for days in bed feeling nauseous and exhausted.
Felt really patronised when I picked my DS up as I felt that they made out that he was very generally misbehaved after some out of character behaviour for him today.
Got so stuck in traffic to/from nursery too and ended up spending more money than I can afford on a taxi.
Now, just feeling so drained, exhausted, nauseous with a very hyper DS still who ended up napping on the way home and so much washing and cleaning that needs done still.

Anyone else had a less than average day and just feeling shit?

Hi yes. Took ds swimming with his friend and his mum. Kids had a fab couple of hours in fun pool and all was good. When we said bye, my ds suddenly started to become very difficult. He had got the idea that he wanted to go to friends house afterwards but they had other plans. Managed to walk through city centre with him looking very unpredictable. He even stepped out on a red man at traffic crossing and a car beeped him. I was feeling very vulnerable and close to tears. He would not talk to me all the way home. Sat on bus with his hood up, scowling. He had a nap when he got back. He never does this, so I wondered if behaviour triggered by hormones and growth spurt? (12) . Anyway, he now will not get in the shower. Messing about in his room and avoidant behaviour. It's been a long bank holiday weekend and I was hoping the week would start well. He has mild SEN and just when things are going well, some behaviour happens suddenly like this.

@reytmardy sorry to hear that!!! It's so difficult with situations like that, it's completely unpredictable. Here's hoping you can unwind and chill out a bit tonight!

This sounds like a thread made for me! Had a crap past 2 weeks with binge eating & I'm going back to college in September after a 2 year break for my mental health (I'm 20) & I'm so anxious that I won't be able to handle the work load and get the grades I need to go to uni.

Also our flat is completely taken over by laundry at the moment as I didn't do any loads over the weekend so I'm feeling very overwhelmed by that & I'll have to really get on top of it tomorrow. 😫

I've started OLD... Finding it full of flakey people. Arranged two tinder dates today (I assumed one or other of them would flake out). One cancelled, the other has just ghosted me!
