Not unreasonable at all, are you okay?

whoisasking · 16/11/2009 14:17

Not at all unreasonable.

(I don't know what's wrong, but I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so crap)

verytellytubby · 16/11/2009 14:18

I'd like to send you a hug but I know it's not very MN.

I did this yesterday although DD found me and I pretended that I had stubbed my toe to explain the tears.

Have a good cry then a cuddle with DS and some chocolate.

mumblechum · 16/11/2009 14:18

Go and watch the clangers. The blue string soup may make you smile.

FabIsLosingThePlot · 16/11/2009 14:19

I am laid on my bed sobbing but trying not too as I am scared I won't stop.

I cry every day. Usually more than once. You are not being unreasonable. I hope you feel much better very soon.

YouKnowNothingoftheCrunch · 16/11/2009 14:21

You're allowed to cry. It can help. LEt it out.

Why not set an alarm for 5/10 minutes time, and just let yourself cry until it goes off?

wreckofhesperus · 16/11/2009 14:22

"May not stop" sounds quite serious. Is this ultra-tiredness stuff or do you feel unable to cope? Sorry to pry but sounds really quite worrying and also sorry if you have regular friends on here and I'm butting in.

LilRedWG · 16/11/2009 14:22

If it helps and DS2 is happily entertained then do it. I hope you are feeling brighter soon.

FabIsLosingThePlot · 16/11/2009 14:25

I am not really even sure what it is I am crying for tbh. I mean I know what set me off but not what I want. I just feel so lost and trapped and tired and lonely and useless.

verytellytubby · 16/11/2009 14:27

I'm so sorry you feel so shit at the moment. I'm fairly new to the site so don't know your history.

Have you got a friend to come over and talk things through?

FabIsLosingThePlot · 16/11/2009 14:28

No.

I am going to text my long distance pal in a few minutes but I hate to moan to her.

OP posts:
verytellytubby · 16/11/2009 14:29

Moan to her, she won't mind if she's a good friend and keep talking to us.

Are you on ADs? Have you seen your GP lately? If not, then that is what you need to do first, make an apt.

If you are then it might be worth reviewing your meds.

Can you try to deal with what set you off? Can you get organised and try to do something productive towards it?

You are not useless. You are not lost. But I know you are feeling it, and it is very real. But you need to try to find a way back. What are you good at? What can you do brilliantly?

Fab, you've got that name for a reason. What is fabulous about fab?

Fab, do you have another thread somewhere about feeling down now your kids are in school and you don't see anyone during the day?

If so, whilst it's hard to get a job, would you be willing to do voluntary work a couple of mornings a week? It would be social interaction and give you something to focus on and you'd probably enjoy it a lot.

CinnabarRed · 16/11/2009 14:33

You gave me great advice in a thread about nannies v. childminders once - that was fabulous - I hope you're feeling a bit brighter soon. Talk to us if you want to - we're here for you.

FabIsLosingThePlot · 16/11/2009 14:34

you have set me off again being so nice

i miss having rl friends

i have a court case coming up and the other person is making things as difficult as possible which made me think of things tht happened when i was younger and the people i was close to then and i miss them so much even though we aren't in touch and i just feel tired of it all

OP posts:
YouKnowNothingoftheCrunch · 16/11/2009 14:37

I miss rl friends too. We moved away from them all, and it is very hard not having them here to chat to, or laugh with, or have a moan to. And I'm rubbish at phoning people although I've been strict with myself and tried to do it more.

FabIsLosingThePlot · 16/11/2009 14:37

I have to go and get the kids from school.

Thanks for listening

Jamieandhismagictorch · 16/11/2009 14:42

Fab I noticed yesterday that your name isn't the most positive ... Sorry you are feeling crap, lovey

OrmIrian · 16/11/2009 14:45

Hey fab! You're fab!

Chin up old chap

THings will improve.

Threelittleducks · 16/11/2009 15:05

Hey gorgeous - if it helps I know how you feel. I too am very alone, lonely, trapped and spend days despairing as to what to do with myself. I also have days where breaking down is the only option - howling crying can be the only way of dealing.
My friends also live very very far away and I hate moaning to them! (I'm always moaning )

If you want to talk, P.M me. I would be more than happy to have a chat with you and listen to your moaning.

Hope you feel much better soon. It's so hard when you feel so alone. xxxxx

FabIsLosingThePlot · 16/11/2009 15:59

Just had a supportive text of another friend and I feel bad as I was being a bit of oi, I need some attention.
