i feel completely awful. really in need a a hug, some comfort. feel all alone..... (dh not a source of any comfort, so please dont suggest speaking to him about it.)
ds at home recovering from operatin. all he is doing is sittingin front of telly, watching crappy carttons on channels like cartoon network. stuff like fairly odd paretns, spongebob squarepants etc. he is 10. everytime i llook at his face, i feel upset. and he keeps bleeding from nose, where he had the op. and i want to cry everytiem i see it. he is a nightmare to try and get to take his medicines, most are nose drops.
ive been stuck in the house for days. its a tip. he wont eat anything. unless its sweets and chocolates. all i am doing is mumsenetting. done barely any housework. no work work, even though i am supposed ot make some phone calls. gltc wont let me pay with dh card. and letterbox keep asking me for start date. sodding maestro dont do a start date.
so should i get my act together, be grateful for what i have etc, or do i have a case for feeling down.

Sounds like you have cause to me - I hate being stuck in the house, drives me mad. And the more time I spend in it, the less motivated I am to do housework. Lets face it, housework is boring.

Can you limit the time on MN and the time your son watches TV? Maybe say just a certain time of day and then think about something else you could do togehter? I know that alwasy sounds trite when written down and sometimes you feel very low and don't want to do anything, but even if you just read a book for half an hour or had a chat, it might make you feel less guilty.

Longer term - how long have you felt like this? Is it more than just low mood caused by current situation???

Am often like this meself - fit of the ennui..............
