Someone talk to me....

someonetalktome · 30/11/2005 22:14

I am a regular before any muttering starts.

I just need someone to talk to me, I don't care about what. Right now I am in tears of hopelessness and frustration (teetering on and off depression, and this appears to be on). DD is calling down the stairs for me, and I can't bring myself to go up to her.

All I keep thinking is how quiet it would be if someone actually took notice of how I was feeling, and I was away from everything for a few days.

I'm not going to do anything stupid, so please don't panic, but right now I can see why someone would.

I don't know what I want from you lot, I just needed to get it out.

I'll do a typical male answer (hope it makes you smile )

"What do you want to talk about?"

Poor you. Hope DD is alright.

Has she been out of sorts today. If the kids aren't well and playing up a bit it can affect you too.

Take care of yourself.

i'm here too

hunkermunker · 30/11/2005 22:35

I'm going to bed now, but will be around tomorrow if you need a chat. Hope your DD's OK and don't try to do too much. It's hard, this parenting thing x x x

Blu · 30/11/2005 22:39

Oh poor you - they always need you most when you are at rock bottom., don't they. Hope she is ok, and is settling again.

yes, you DO need someone to take notice of what you want.

It may not be able to happen right now, tonight, but given a following wind and some good MN-erly advice it will happen soon, so hold taight, hang on in there, and all these listening ears will still be here...

you can talk to me. Im a bit mizog myself at the moment.

Please CAT me if you need to.

P.S. have found that owning up to my usual MN identity and getting rid of the temporary name change proved to be far more productive

You're right QV - Not really sure why I decided to hide really.

I got up to DD, and she was happy enough, just stinky. Sobbed on her , and she sat and cuddled me... Just as I was telling her that I wanted Daddy (he was out for a meal), the front door opened, and the poor thing yelled "DADDY!!! Mummy fwyin!!!!" (she's only 2 1/2 and really should be having to tell daddy that mummy's crying ), and then burst into tears herself. I think I scared her

A few more tears from both of us, and DH is now upstairs trying to get DD to sleep.

I am much calmer now that I am not on mummy duty.

Its been a long day... she's off colour, I'm starting to think its possibly a wee infection - she wet herself 3 times in 1 1/2 hours this afternoon, has been off her food for weeks, is pale, and has very sweet smelling breath. The past few nights she's been waking during the night and coming in to us.

I'm now 27 weeks pregnant, and I need a lot of sleep at the best of times, pregnancy just completely exhausts me.

I've had a headache for 2 days, and hoped to sleep it off today when DD slept, but we had builders show up, so couldn't.

DH had a meal to go out to tonight, so came in for about 1hr 1/2 between work and the meal, and went out (he had a bath in that time too so DD didn't get to see him much). It all just got too much and I want to run away and hide for a few days.

I'm now exhausted but awake at the same time... hence sitting here explaining all this to you.

charlietherednosedpussy · 30/11/2005 23:05

Big Sigh for you, well at least you can switch off mummy duty for now..a nice drink of water /juice/coffee and when your finished on her a book in bed? Glad your dds ok...she sounds lovely

charlietherednosedpussy · 30/11/2005 23:05

on here

marthamoo · 30/11/2005 23:05

Aw, hon - I'm not much good at pregnancy either - it's hard. Fwiw, I don't think it's a bad thing for your children to see you cry once in a while (at least I hope not!). You're knackered - everything is a hundred times harder when you haven't had enough sleep (sleep deprivation is a form of torture, you know). Just let everything else go - look after dd, and when she's sleeping, you sleep. Take care xx

marthamoo · 30/11/2005 23:06

Go to bed. Even if you think you won't sleep - just lie and be still. Switch off the PC - we'll still be here in the morning.

you sound like you could do with a big old chunk of sleep. is there anyway your DH could pull a sickie tommorrow morning and let you have some zzzs. or can you go swimming to loll around in the shallow end with dd and have a relaxing treat?

on the bright side it will soon be the weekend.....

sorry am not being v constructive

pmsl - you've obviously not met my DD to think of swimming as relaxing .

I will go up to bed... she is crying again - apparantly Daddy isn't wanted! Thankyou for listening
