Parents staying, I'm stressed, really stressed

I'm finding it really hard at the moment, because my mum and dad are tidying everything up, {which is great} but they're really pedantic and have to do everything perfectly {which is great} . But I'm just feeling so c*p at the moment and all I want to do is to be able to tell them, but I can't. Also I'm getting really paranoid about all kinds of stuff - like adding things to discussions here (in case people realise just how c*p I am), and I really don't know what to do. Really what I want is a hug and to be able to have a bath and then some sleep. I'm still feeling useless, despite the drugs.

hmm..maybe you could gently tell them they don't need to tidy...they are here to have a break/rest??????? I would also go for a walk or two (or if my parents were staying that long...three or four!!!!!)
Maybe encourage them to go out for an evening or something???

Why can't you tell them how crap you're feeling, gAbD?

Maybe they can tell there is something up and the tidying is their way of trying to help out when they don't know exactly what's up?

Which of them do you find it easier to talk to? Could you get that one on his/her own and tell them how you feel?

Good luck, anyway, flower - it's horrible feeling like this - have another hug {}

cant talk like that to either. We don't do talking about stuff like that really. Would be good, but we dont. Thanks for hug.

Hope you're getting some sleep now GABD and feeling bit better. Ignore parents - my mother staying at moment and keeps politely suggesting that I should consider getting a cleaner - and why? Cos I haven't cleaned under the sofa!!!!!

You don't sound any more c**p than the rest of us.

Big hug from me too.
