Feeling sorry for myself

Sitting here are my eyes are so sore from crying. Broke foot last weekend and am in plaster from toe to knee. Dh is working away from home and wont be back till next weekend.Heard a song on the radio today that reminded me of my mum (she died two years ago - dad died 27 years ago) and that was it the floodgates opened. I hate this feeling of helplessness and having to rely on anyone. I am a very independent person with a busy, stressful job that I love and I'm cracking up being off work. Workmates are great, they phone every day to see if I'm ok and they visit but it's not the same as being there! I sound like a right selfish cow but had to get this off my chest. Hope I feel better tomorrow!

hope you do too!
stay on here and have a chat, if your dd/ds is asleep.
give dh a ring, maybe hearing his voice might perk you up? ask a friend round tomorrow night for a girly night?

I hope you feel better tomorrow too. Your mates must care about you to phone and visit musn't they! The week will soon go by and your DH will be back. Make yourself some hot choccie and watch Children in Need? Hope foot soon mends.

Have spoken to dh, who is working near where his brother lives so has gone to visit him. My best friend is away in Norway at the moment but comes home Sunday and everyone else seems busy this weekend. Have friends coming to visit next week and workmates are coming to take me for lunch on wednesday. I think basically I just need a good hard kick up the backside. There are people a lot worse of than me. Just full of self pity today!

dont feel like that, thats what everyones here for, no matter how ' trivial' you think it may be, it obviously bothers you so is important to talk about it and get a change of 'scene' on here if no where else!

Its probably still the shock of breaking your foot! They call something like that an "insult to nature".

I think if I'm being honest, I'm really missing adult conversation. I ended up arguing with the tv the other night - only problem was it wouldn't argue back. I do feel a bit better, maybe just somebody ackowledging how I felt helped - Thanks

Agy, you're probably right. I fall all the time but have never broken anything (well not till now) and I only fell down three stairs!
