Hi Jenk, I have no real practical advice but please don't feel alone.

If you get no help here try posting on the SN threads as there are some lovely Ladies with lots of knowledge about ASD who will help you.

its not just the kids though, its me and my inability to cope at the moment.

its all getting too much.

Hi Jenk. Does anyone close to you know how you feel? Are you able to get some sort of break, even for a day/night? So sorry to hear you are feeling this low.

Why has your mum cut you out?

Was she a good source of support for you?

jenk1 · 04/01/2008 23:15

she,s a weirdo.
she wants me totally dependent on her and doesnt like me having friends she,s accused me of dropping her for my friend fgs she,s 63.

i go to a mental health centre but my appointments not till tuesday, im having panic attacks now and im getting worse.

im panicking cos my BP was high the other day and ive got to have it done again, and im going on holiday in 2 weeks and im worried they wont let me fly.

me and dh split up 2 months ago and although things are calm at the moment im waiting for the next storm to erupt with him.

its a vicious circle, probably the only people i can talk to are on here.

Oh Jenk, sorry, I had to go last night & never got back to this thread.

How are you today?

Are you trying any methods of reducing your blood pressure?

jenk1 · 05/01/2008 14:08

i feel a bit better today xdh has the kids today so theres a bit of pressure gone.

ive cut down from 20 cigs a day to 5 and im going to ask to be referred to smoking cessation on monday cos i cant do it on my own.

kids are back at school on tuesday so that will help as well.

im stressing cos of my holiday, for the first 3 days its just me dd and my mum and dad and im not friends with my mum atm, my sister and ds, brother and girlfriend come out on day 4 so that will be ok.

if it was up to me id cancel but the kids are so looking forward to it and talk of nothing else, which in turn stresses me out even more thinking about it!!!!!!
