[MamaLaMoo]

looking for this, will create if not, thanks.

I co sleep with ds, he's been awake since 5!!
He doesn't take bottle at night.
He's been so bad at eating it's really really worrying me. I am no longer on ad but the way it's going it won't be long til im back on them. I like to feel in control and with them your not.
Try nasal spray (for kids, Calpol does 1) and baby albas oil on a cloth near dd. Works wonders

Get them from boots or tesco

And now he thinks peek a boo under the quilt will make me laugh...

Lol the cheeky lil smile that's he's got on his face...

Makes it all worth while :)

P.s I'm still tired though lol could do with a

Hi fazsaeed
Peek-a-boo sounds good ~ maybe just not at this time in a morning!

Think today is going to be a pro plus day. Didn't sleep too good last night.
DD woke up about an hour ago and is now in bed with me - no way was I getting up! She's back asleep and not been fed yet ~ strange!

Appointment is at 2:30 so most of the day to worry about it yet.
Loopy I'll try to be more honest cos something needs to change. I don't think I can carry on like this for much longer

Thankfully he's still asleep :).

Turns out my HV had spoken to my GP after I rang her the other day (I guess I was in a bit of a mess) and said she's worried about me
Could of used that as my opportunity to 'talk' but I didn't.
I sometimes want to bang my head against a brick wall. I'm so so stupid.

Glad you had a better day yesterday...why don't you feel comfortable with it?
For me, if anything good happens I'm never sure if it's real or not and know things are going to come crashing down.

I have to go back to see my GP in 4 weeks.

Today isn't good...I can't stand being in this house with him any more.

What is wrong with me???????

Sorry..I sound like such a horrible person

It's good to have a moan now and then let it all out. When I was on anti depressants I used to use online counselling. It was free lol.
But it really helped, I can't talk to my family here (live with parents) and that was my scapegoat. Its the best thing I ever dis for myself. You just sign up and send a shout out for a mentor. The shout out is a brief description of what you are going through. You can also view mentors profiles by searching specific problems like Pnd money or anxiety.
Look up the horses mouth

Arghhh
Trying to sleep
Ds won't let me :( he's got tummy ache
Fuck all I can do though

Hi loopy
I'm glad yours has come home without his chip this weekend. I think it's me with the chip in my house.
I'm shattered, should be feeling better than I am but it's the weekend and I can't cope with a weekend right now.
I need to make some plans.

Thanks fazsaeed I'll have a look at that website. Hope you're ok?

And the mood gym one loopy thankyou

I'm actually ok... Feel a bit shit. Feel fat. Lol.
Thinking about taking ds private for his reflux. Gp recommended it. He's waiting for ds consultant to get in touch with him.
He just keeps losing weight I'm thankful for the half a meal he has a day.

Feel a bit helpless really. :(

How are you feeling?

I don't know anything about reflux tbh. I've managed to escape it with my two. But going private I guess your going to get help for DS alot quicker. Which is obviously a good thing.

I don't feel too good, thankyou for asking. It's been a bad week x

Whats the matter?
From that website I learnt that a problem shared is a problem cared (literally)
If you want to msg me and tell me that's fine just telling somebody else your problems makes it easier, for me it was some one who can't judge me but listened and also shares their problems too.

:)
Hope you feel better soon { hug }

Thankyou (I have no idea how to message you though)
I have found it helps to talk about this stuff, never thought I would, I'm not always entirely honest though which I guess is where I'm going wrong. It's just hard to say some stuff out loud.
I rang HV other day (i was a mess) but I still couldn't say what I needed to.
Maybe I could just write everything down and let her read it. I think that would be easier x

Wringing helped me a lot.at the top of the page click the inbox button

I'm on my phone, there's no inbox button.
Unless maybe I do it through normal Internet rather than an app??!

How is everyone??
