Anything in particular triggered this.. or is it Friday night in general?

How about going and giving your dd a wee kiss and think nice thoughts about her?

beansmum · 25/09/2004 00:04

wish i could help but i'm terrible at making people feel better, i know what you mean about being lonely though. haven't spoken to a real person (MN doesn't count) since wednesday. except ds of course

Excuse my ignorance - are you already on Ad's? if so are they correct dosage?... (as it doesn't sound like it.)

joanneg · 25/09/2004 00:05

trying to be more proactive, trying to think of new things to do with dd to keep me going and stimulated but its usually at this time that i feel worse when im on my own.

beansmum that's bad - phone a friend tomorrow. Hope uni goes ok by the way. I had a year out at one point and wasn't looking forward to joining a new class. But it worked out fine. (ref your post earlier).

If you haven't been sleeping and have had a bad week no wonder you feel so bad

the sleeping tablets ive been giving are a form of ADs but theyre not strong enough and not used for ADs. doc did say it might pick my mood up a bit though

OP posts:

Have you already taken one? Maybe they don't suit you?

joanneg · 25/09/2004 00:11

they will probably take a short while to work. when I am stressed out I use Bachs rescue remedy and find it really good. You can get it from Holland and Barrett -places like that

So the bank. Is there no way you could reorganise child care for the 3 full days?

unicorn · 25/09/2004 00:12

tammyb - But what would YOU really like to do?

I think you need to stop worrying about your dd too much, and find something that YOU love.

Hobbies (remember them?!!.. I have a vague recollection!)

Reckon you are low because you need MORE from life,and there is NOTHING wrong with that.

Go get it girl!

beansmum · 25/09/2004 00:12

is there something worrying you thats stopping you sleeping? maybe you should go see your doctor again, nobody feels any good without a decent nights sleep
