Hey.
I haven't talked to you before, but have read through your thread, I have mental health problems yet also cope and cope, and my mum is dying. Many many hugs to you. You are doing your absolute best in a difficult place. You've got through these few days. You can keep doing it. Does a new crisis make you feel worse or better?

mylittlefreya · 18/06/2007 21:08

Maybe the alcohol is the best you can do just now. Do YOU think it's a problem?

tulips · 18/06/2007 21:10

hi

anoher crisis is not what I need

Hugs.

You are bound to be in turmoil.You have only just found out about dh cancer.

You have been coping with him having an awful chronic illness previous to thisas well as battling depression.

You are also coping with your own feelings

You have an awful lot on your plate.

YOU ARE NOT SELFISH.

YOU ARE NOT CRAP.

You are a loving partner and mum in a terible situation.

Tulips, I know who you are, don't I? Speak to me on msn.

tulips · 18/06/2007 21:43

Tulips, just read this thread. I am so sorry and send you a big cyber hug. Nothing else to offer other than support and thoughts x

purpleduck · 18/06/2007 21:54

Tulips, life always changes. Things never stay the same. Yes, things really suck right now, but you can be sure that things will get better. It is the nature of depression that you can't see the positive, but it is waiting for you. Please don't deprive your dc of both parents. BTW, have you talked to your dh about this? Maybe he thinks that it is better for you to ignore things...good luck, we're all pulling for you

jandeb · 18/06/2007 22:20

been reading this thread since it started,
all the advice and support is fab, hope it is helping, maybe we should all put our names and short msg on a list then copy and paste it to show tulips there is so much of us praying and hoping she is ok.

tulips · 18/06/2007 22:26

Hang in there tulips. I will be here tomorrow (well, not here on MN necessarily, but you know where). Go to bed now. I know you may not sleep, but just rest in a darkened room and try not to allow your mind to go over and over your worries. Get that Kate Bush (awful catawauling woman IMO!) on the CD player and take yourself away to another place metaphorically.

Speak tomorrow?

tulips · 18/06/2007 22:41
