Mumsnet has really helped me pull put of a possible breakdown and while I'm out of the worst of it, I'm still very sad. I'm crying to myself now so I can put on a brave face in the morning.

@Oblomov24 you have my sympathy I have a chronic pain condition and am always in some sort of pain it’s horrendous to live with
@Raspberrymoon49 welcome sorry you’ve had to join but there’s plenty of crying goes on here

I had a big chat with DH about the mess that is my jobs, we can’t afford for me to give up work completely but we have devised a plan that I just have to hang on in there a little longer then hopefully I can leave. I am sick of being bullied, feeling like a second class citizen and being micro managed, I feel sick every minute I am there.

@headache thank you, life can be so tough can’t it, sorry you’re suffering at work, that’s miserable

Can I join? Absolutely awful evening, massive argument with DP. He's sleeping downstairs now. I'm too upset to sleep and am too isolated to have anyone to talk to about this in real life.

Helplessandheartbroke · 24/03/2024 08:56

@headache glad you spoke to dh about work hopefully you'll get the support you need x

@navydaffodil sorry you're struggling. Why are you isolated? Did you manage to get some sleep? X

I feel horrendous today. Ds was up all night I've had about 3 hours sleep x

Thank you for the kind words everyone, had a tough night sleep wise, first night in 3 without a sleeping tablet 😢 4 days until the holidays I’ve just got to hang on until then.

welcome @navydaffodil sorry you are feeling so down hope you are feeling a bit better now

Whycantgiraffesdance · 25/03/2024 13:23

How is everyone today?

I feel I’m coping a bit better with life but I’ve still lost my joy 😢 x

Helplessandheartbroke · 25/03/2024 15:25

@Whycantgiraffesdance sorry you're still struggling I hate that we're all in this boat. I've been back at a&e with ds this morning as he's got croup again! Was up all night with him Saturday night too so I'm just exhausted as had to work the rest of the day too. My house is a tip and I just don't have the energy! X

Oh no bless him! Hope he’s ok @Helplessandheartbroke 🩵 don’t worry about the house, that can wait when you have a poorly child! My littlest one is teething so she just doesn’t know what to do with herself! x

Helplessandheartbroke · 25/03/2024 19:15

@Whycantgiraffesdance awww teething can be a nightmare for mum and baby!

Ds is fine he had a shot of steroids and it worked.

How's everyone this evening? X

I'm crying

Anyone around with a cuddle please?

Whycantgiraffesdance · 25/03/2024 21:53

Of course 🤗 what’s happened lovely?

Imamumgetmeoutofhere · 25/03/2024 21:58

Of course @EmmaEmerald. Is there anything you would like to talk about? Flowers

Imamumgetmeoutofhere · 25/03/2024 22:01

@Helplessandheartbroke some how I missed your post. I had a lovely weekend, we went to the city and saw a show then lots of tourist stuff which seems to have helped lift me slightly. I'm shattered though and my GP has said no to a higher dose of anti depressants without seeing me but can't see me until the end of April so have to battle on for another month feeling on edge which isn't nice 😣 I slept well the last 2 nights though so hoping tonight will be the same

EmmaEmerald · 25/03/2024 22:05

@Imamumgetmeoutofhere@Whycantgiraffesdance

Thanks, I appreciate that
It's not the kind of thing where talking helps but I appreciate the company and cuddles

Excellent username with the giraffes, that made me giggle.

@Imamumgetmeoutofhere I sometimes used Kalms or CBD as well as meds when edgy, it helped.

Helplessandheartbroke · 25/03/2024 22:11

@EmmaEmerald hi! Hope you're ok. Were here if you want to vent.

@Imamumgetmeoutofhere sounds like a lovely weekend! What meds are you currently on?

Citalopram. Was started on 20mg, had 6 months worth now and I think it's definitely starting to wear off

Helplessandheartbroke · 25/03/2024 22:45

@Imamumgetmeoutofhere can you get an urgent on the day appointment if you're struggling?

Nope. I have to see a different doctor tomorrow now. I don't know why I am not seeing my original one. Woke up this morning and I've all done is cry. I don't want to die but I can't see a way out of this anymore. Trying to hold on the thought of my beautiful 4 kids but even the darkness is trying to push them away x

Helplessandheartbroke · 26/03/2024 09:40

@hk1993x I'm sorry to read this. Were here for you! Do you have anyone home for support today? X

OP posts:
Imamumgetmeoutofhere · 26/03/2024 12:45

@Helplessandheartbroke I've done another e consult as we can't phone my surgery. I've marked it as urgent so I'm hoping I get at least a phone call today.

Whycantgiraffesdance · 26/03/2024 13:42

@hk1993x ditto what @Helplessandheartbroke said, please lean on us if u need too. School holidays coming up, do u think that will be better or worse with the kids home? Do u have anything planned? Xx

Helplessandheartbroke · 26/03/2024 18:38

@Imamumgetmeoutofhere did you get a call?

@hk1993x hope you're ok?

@Whycantgiraffesdance how are you lovely x
