Need to snap out of this - can't stop crying

I feel like I'm being pulled too tightly on too many fronts. My DH is a bit unhappy with me because of my low sex drive, my mum constantly pesters me over DS development, we're skint but I just don't know what to do about going back to work (my career was too stressful, drove me round the bend)but don't know what to do next. The last straw was now my best friend is really pissed off with me, and reckons I've upset her mum as well - we stayed with her over Xmas (she had a baby very recently) and it didn't go very well - too much stress, I think I relaxed too much, didn't clamp down on clutter and DS enough.

I just feel that this with my friend is the last straw - I don't know why I feel that criticism from her is so hard to deal with but I do.

helps/kicks please

i'm sorry for whingeing so much, I'm not normally needy like this

Aww poo I thought for a second there I might be able to have my ultimate twin fantasy going on

You don't need to try to please everyone, I think you're great as you are! Everyone has phases of going through crap, I've had a few months/years as a younger (lol) teenager when I thought I was completely and utterly barmy... and everyone makes mistakes and say things they shouldn't... it would be good if certain people would apologise for saying things they shouldn't though!

sigh. think it's my week for alienating friends - have now managed to give FA plus her DH plus her DS the tummy bug from hell. hopefully a bribe of Thornton's chocolates will sort that out. and just yelled at DS for being whingey (told him to "just eat the bloody banana" .

give me a kick someone please, I just need to get a grip.

MTS, I am soooo sorry that I didn't see this earlier. You were my saviour this time last year when I was feeling like you are now. I'm just rushing out with the dss to a party so I haven't read through properly, but I'll come back later and try to say the type of wonderful stuff that you said to me (although I know I won't be as good as you were - but I certainly owe it to you to try!)

thanks and don't worry fisil - think I'm more wallowing now than anything else - just need to grow up and take a bit of guilt on the chin.

no MTS, you need to talk about it. "Snap out of it" is other people talking to you. Deep down you know that you have a right to feel like this and that these are real feelings. Listen to your voice and not to what other people are telling you.

[[[[[hugs]]]]]]

now really need to get off to this party
