Feel like I'm heading for a mental break down

[MeMyCatsAndMyBooks]

Can't even be bothered to name change.

It feels like one thing after another.

Last year my youngest son nearly died after hostipal missed his symptoms of DKA I had to kick off to get him seen by his GP after a&e sent us away, who managed to get us finally seen by the hospital. Diagnosed with type one diabetes.
Something I still struggle mentally with how close he was to death. They noted at the time he had antibodies for other issues at the time and now he's going down hill again and being rushed for blood tests this week to see if these antibodies have attacked other parts of his body.
I fell out with my mother in law last year, the only family member who lives close by to us after my son was diagnosed she didn't speak to any of us for 8 months and even though it's still very strained she's turned up today saying she's being evicted and can't afford to live elsewhere.
I'm very worried she'll try and force a move in with us as she has massive money issues and can't afford to private rent or even rent off the council. She's now forcing it onto us to do her council forms as she can't be bothered to do it herself.

My grandad is dying, yes he's old but his cancer he was clear off for two years came back in other places and is incurable and his heart is failing on top. I can't even be there to say goodbye as I can't leave my children as my other child is due surgery this week and he's 400 miles away. Can't even FaceTime as he's just sleeping, can't even be there for my mum & nan without leaving my children and I can't with surgery and the other being poorly.

That is just the beginning of it all.

I'm so stressed, I just want to scream and cry but I can't. I don't know what to do. 😢

That's such a lot on your plate I really feel for you. Not much in the way of advise but have that scream and cry just to release some tension if nothing else.
Sending you a big hug. Xx

That's rough op I feel for you. I've recently come out of a probable mental breakdown and I had to snap out of it for my ds sake. Remember your children need you to stay strong but please make sure you're looking after yourself too! Vent on here x

I feel ya OP.

Please be kind to yourself and remember your not superwoman. We can only do so much to help others but you wouldn't run your car with no fuel, you need to fuel yourself up first.

You have alot on your plate and it doesn't surprise me that your feeling this way. Be clear with your boundaries and put yourself and your own little family first and take care x

Thank you, I normally keep mother in law at arms bay but she just turned up and started going on and on today about her problems.
She doesn't know about the children or my problems, she doesn't ask so no reason for her to know. Think I need to put a boundary in place before I get pushed off the edge. Just can't deal with her drama.

Going for bloods in the morning so am hoping they'll be back by Friday with some good news, or at least some kind of plan for ds. Just so stressed, need to try my best to get on with things for DC sake.

Good luck with the bloods for dc hoping for good news for yous. Dont take on MILS problems you've got enough to deal with

You poor thing. You're in the middle of a lot of rubbish at the moment but you have to believe things will get better, because they will. . Take a day at time and try to remember to take time to look after yourself.

With your MIl could your H deal with her? He needs to make it clear she cannot move in with you and that’s the end of the matter.

With your grandad, could you send him a card with a message saying you wish you could be there, and it can be read out to him?

I how the test go well with DS.
