Anyone feel lower than I do?

I don't want to talk about me as I could easily start a new thread in this topic every day and that would be so self indulgent. However, here we are, Monday, rainy day, dh back at work a week early having had a week off to recover from an operation (but should be having two), me feeling like I want to shrink away and never be seen again. Yet I have a lovely family, house, life, etc so what is the matter with me?
What I want to know is, who is out there feeling like me? Perhaps if I read some genuine sad stories I will be able to pull myself together.

oh sory, right see what you mean, I thought I had things the wrong way round. Sorry you ahve to go through this babes, and even sorrier that he does tbh, poor little soldier. It's not fair.

Listen I have to go to bed.

Lots of love and hope tomorrow is a better day for you and for DS.

And hope it's a better day for all you girls.

Yeah me to EssBee - let us know.

Lonelymum - how are you today?

Chinchilla · 28/09/2004 19:28

Essbee - I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You are an amazing woman to have gone through all this and made it through. I know that sometimes you must feel like you are hanging on by a thread. Your poor, poor ds...why are some children so rotten? My heart is breaking for him (I was bullied at school).

Keep your chin up. I'm thinking of you xx

Sorry to hear about your son Essbee. I have read your other thread. You do seem to have so many problems, which is an understatement I know. I can't help much but just to say that I was a teacher before and you must go in every time your son comes out crying to let the teachers know what is happening. They can't do anything about it unless you do. Your son may be labelled difficult, which is very sad, but he still has rights and doesn't deserve to be hit with sticks, whatever he has done. I know it is hard to go in to school when you have other commitments and worries of your own, but you owe it to your child to do what you can for him. Do you not find it helps you get through your lowest times to think that you have a role to play in your son's life, or is that an extra burden for you that you find hard to bear? Do let me know if I can advise at all about your son's treatment at school.
As for me, I deliberately stayed off Mumsnet yesterday. I am at home and we pay for the internet as we go so I am sure our phone bill is mounting up beyond what we can afford. I wanted to see if working hard all day being a SAHM would help lift my spirits. I can't say it did really, so here I am again for another fix!

For the last few days I have felt miserable too - partly a PMT thing but it doesn't seem to be going away completely now my period has started...

OK so somethings in my life aren't so great, but really I have no big problems compared to a lot of people I know (eg breast cancer, best friend drowning on holiday with me - some examples from a few folk in my office). So why can't I be happy and enjoy my life?

yahtzee · 08/10/2004 21:12
