I am shaking so much I can hardly type

dh started treatment today and is suffering horrendous side effects. It is horrible to watch. It brings back so much torment.

I want to get in the car and drive far far away from here and take all my pills.

I love him so dearly - but I cant watch him like this. I am trapped in this life. My DSs are asleep upstairs. I love them so much too. They need me. My dh needs me. But I cant cope with them.

How am I goin to get through this?

I badly need a drink but am even frightened to do that.

bree is LGJ, naswm.

It sounds very hard for you right now, and I am not sure I can be of much help to you, but I couldn't ignore your thread.

Deep breaths - you can do this naswm, although I know it must feel unbearably hard for you right now.

Look after yourself.x

That feeling is understandable.

MegaLegs · 29/06/2007 21:12

I saw your other thread - you have so much on your plate right now. It's hard but you can be strong.

GibbonInARibbon · 29/06/2007 21:12

Will your other therapy continue - you sounded positive about it on the other thead, finding a peaceful, trance like, state. Does that help?

MegaLegs · 29/06/2007 21:17

By the way - I'm sorry if I am saying all the wrong things naswm. I just felt really drawn to trying to be helpful here.

naswm · 29/06/2007 21:17

naswm · 29/06/2007 21:19

It will get better though - you were dreading today and you're now slap bang in the middle of it all. Will dh's sickness last long or is at it's worst for the next few hours? It will pass, you can get through it - you will feel better - be strong my love.

lionheart · 29/06/2007 21:26

Is there anything practical that anyone here can do to help, naswm?

Are any mumsnetters living nearby?

MegaLegs · 29/06/2007 21:29

That's what I wondered naswm? Where are you? I hate the thought of you sitting there on your own and scared.

Mercy · 29/06/2007 21:30

naswm - are you ok?

naswm · 29/06/2007 21:30

GibbonInARibbon · 29/06/2007 21:32

oh nas

MegaLegs · 29/06/2007 21:32

Oh dear - ok - sounds horrific for you all. I am so shocked that you are expected to cope with all of this on your own. I feel really helpless.

Mercy · 29/06/2007 21:32

I assume he is in hospital?

Pinkchampagne · 29/06/2007 21:33

How awful, naswm. It must be so hard for you.

MegaLegs · 29/06/2007 21:34

No mercy - I believe he is at home with naswm - she had to check on him

naswm · 29/06/2007 21:35

Mercy · 29/06/2007 21:35

Am breaking my rule to give naswm a big virtual cuddle [hug]

Of course you are scared. Do you have any support - professional or friends/family?
