I know the thread is a bit dead but I thought I would start a new one and see if we can keep it going xx

(Pulled) yes,contact them and tell them things are slipping a bit. This might not make sense, but surely it's better to do it now, whilst you have insight into things, before a huge crisis? I'm not sure that makes sense!

Still not had the courage to ring crisis team, pissed of with DH who has not returned from work still knowing full well I'm not feeling good. At least DD is asleep.
I'm half asleep half awake. Keep waking up with the horrid images

Can't switch off

Hello pulled sorry to have missed you. Did you manage to phone crisis at all? Hope you are doing OK.

Bathroom/toilet cleaned, kitchen cleaned, all rooms tidied and all bed covers changed, whole house hoovered. Myself and DD all showered so were "shinny clean" as DD puts it. Just dinner left to sort but I think I'll leave that to DH when he returns from work.

I just haven't been able to stop all day needed to keep busy! Just sat down with a cup of but i think I've overdone it as I'm exhausted now.

No loveis I haven't rang the crisis team as I don't like the weekend staff so will wait till Monday.

I gotta find something else to do after my cup of but what???? I can't seem to sit still

I must apologise to you all I feel like I've overtaken the thread with my self pity posts. Please tell me to shut up if it's upsetting anyone!

I've done all my housework whilst dd is at a friend's, but now I've started with a vomiting bug :(

You post as much as you need. That's what the thread is for.

Well done on turning your energy into something productive.

Thanks loveis ((( hugs ))) hope u feel better

Pulledapart - I love doing housework to take my mind off everything too. I actually look forward to tidying up and the washing

Really terrible day today and I can't work out why I feel so low. Dd has had a few weepy data, also arguing with everything. Ds feel over and injured himself slightly and even though dp was nearer to him at the time I feel terrible like I failed him..

I guess when dc area upset or unhappy it sparks something in me, maybe it reminds me how unhappy I was as a child, or days me off on paranoia that I'm a bad parent or I'm messing then up.. So on days they are repeatedly upset, I lose it, big time.

Aargh typos, hope you can understand that mess!

Welcome back warmbedsocks
Love your username!

((( mumwithcamera ))) I understand the whole feeling upset when DC is upset. Hope your day has been better than yday

Welcome back warmbedsocks and sorry to hear your not doing so good. Paranoia is not a nice feeling at all so I sympathise

loveis how are u doing today? Hope all is well

Hello to everyone else and hope all is well with u all too x

As for me I've managed to get myself and DD ready for the party. Feeling really scared though so not sure how long I will last. Just don't want to have a breakdown in front of family. Wish me luck people!

(Mumwithcamera)
Hi warmbedsocks, don't think I've "met" you before. Sorry you are feeling so low. I understand what you are saying about feeling low because of your childhood and your dcs being upset being a trigger for you
(Pulled) well done on getting ready for the party. That's a step in the right direction, even if it feels horrible, it's you still doing things and taking control
I had a migraine yesterday and was throwing up most of yesterday evening. Have managed to get through today with dd and even cooked a late lunch (and ate some). Still feeling very tired and tearful though.

Morning ladies, another Monday...I am now a week in of taking Citalopram and feeling calmer, but quite queasy and VERY tired. Unfortunately, I have auditors in at work all week and need to be on the ball.

I still haven't received an appointment or any letters re CBT yet.

The house is getting valued next week so have loads to do. I just don't have any energy at all.

Warmbedsocks

Auditors I can just about deal with.
House is getting valued so I can (hopefully) buy STBXH out... although he is being a total twunt quite unreasonable!

Morning all,

Have made the dreaded call to my mental health team & seeing dr in an hour hopefully won't put me in hospital although the voices are adamant that will happen and are stopping me going. Thankfully DH is here as the voice of reason!

((( north ))) that is a lot to deal with hope it all works out.

Morning warm hope the day goes well for you.

Hello to everyone else too x

Morning al :)

Glad you phoned them pulled, the Dr might just give you calm down meds? Try not to worry, they aren't that keen on putting people in hospital so will try to manage it outside if they can. Do pop back and let us know how you are.

I am feeling very, very low- tearful, lots of intrusive and suicidal thoughts. Everything's overwhelming me. Still not feeling right from being ill at the weekend eithier. Have phoned psychology today as they are going to send me an assesment letter and time, just need to wait for it now.

Should be doing some writing work for a commision, but haven't got the energy.

((( loveis )))

Well my worst fear came true I'm being admitted

Oh pulled. Hopefully it's only for a short time. Keep talking on here if it helps xx

hi pulled- same as loveis said ,hopefully not for long.

really have to make a gps appoint, ive had a letter regarding my high blood
pressure but am too paranoid to go.
since catching whooping cough from there in december, i cant bring myself to go there again -my brain is telling me its a dirty,contaminated,dangerous place and i will come to serious harm there.

hows everyone else doing?

pulled it'll be alright. Remember to pack phone charger.

And take some cash.

Thanks all.

Didn't realise they allowed you to keep phone chargers. But yes I have packed the charger and some cash also.

There was a room they kept them in, IIRC.

Mine served good grub (NE, coming up to a year ago) and had nice outside space. It was OK.
