Doctors Wednesday and no idea what to say.

My son sleeps through the night now but I spend the night crying, tossing and turning, worrying, checking on him.

I had to leave work this week sick, as felt the overwhelming need to scream. I just couldn't cope being there at all.

I have chronic pain and constantly think my family would be better off without me. I just cry and feel down, but I know they wouldn't survive without my income so I just keep going.

I am so tired and in pain all the time.

Some days I wake up full of energy and do loads for my son to make up for being so useless but then that night or the next day I am so drained I can barely move.

He watches too much TV. I do activities but it's hard. He hates everyone but me and I work evenings so he is only used to me. He only knows me and cries whenever we are apart and every time I go to work.

I don't have any life outside of working and being a mum but when any one tries to do things with me I can't leave my son, it's like I'm as bad as him at being apart.

My brains a mess and no idea what to say to my Dr? I don't know if I can even be helped? Anyone else been through anything like this?

I'm sorry you're feeling so rough. Perhaps explain that you feel overwhelmed, can't sleep, are suffering from anxiety and fatigue. Write down all your symptoms and explain that you don't feel you can cope anymore.

Have you contacted Gingerbread? They may have some useful advice or information for you.
