Not sure why, i know i go up & down but today everything thats going wrong in my life or is irratating me is really taking it's toll.

Life is hard, things are hard & i want to give up.

Not really sure why i started this thread just needed to get it off my chest.

Maybe it's because it's Monday and your back to being sole person in charge of kids?

Yes know the feeling about being to public, loads i want to moan about & see if i am being unresonable but all i do is moan & go on.

am wising up to dp a bit though & feeling quite upset about everything.

I actually want to run away!

oh god you and me both! lets bugger off to a remote lagoon somewhere and open a rum shack on the beach and drink all the profits. i could grow old that way...

LilyMunster · 31/03/2008 16:10

wising up to dp? in what way? (you dont havcwe to answer)

Janni · 31/03/2008 16:12

Feel the same today. 10 days sole charge of 3 kids as DH working mad hours. Then my one chance of some respite was for 3 year old to go to nursery this afternoon and she bawled the place down and wouldn't stay. I didn't have the energy to work out how to sort it so just left and came home again. Flat is a tip - can't get on top of anything. So fed up.

Thanks for this thread!

What would help you feel better??

Lily the beach & drinks sounds ideal, could do with a break.

Janni nothing apart from going away from everyone & everything & sorting my head out!

Dp just immature, i think he will never grow up, learn or take responsibility for his life/actions.

Many things but i don't want to go into detail as i wont stop, just feeling upset, hurt, pissed off, angry you name it i feel it....

Hi Janni, feeling better today, i told you i go up & down not sure why!

Just feel more awake, more energetic, have done all my house work, 2 loads of washing, making dinner for tonight, sorted a box of toys out, so as you can see doing well, unlike yesterday did'nt want to do anything & spent the day huffing!

Hows you today? feeling any better?

thanks for asking after me

OP posts:
Janni · 01/04/2008 13:54

That's great well done!

Yes I'm much better today, simply because DH has managed to get away from work for a few hours and taken the kids out. I'm having a lovely peaceful day

Janni sounds lovely your break you had yesterday, did you enjoy it?

Feeling slightly low again today, ds is off school because he has a terrible cough & cold so he is lieing in my bed watching tv while me & dd are up & about.

Day in for us i think, how are you?

OP posts:
Janni · 02/04/2008 12:04

I'm OK, thanks. Frantic morning getting my older boys packed and ready to go on holiday with the DH. Just me and DD now for a few days, which will be nice. I'm working on settling her into a nursery - trcky, but worth it.

I find my mood goes up and down depending on my menstrual cycle, whether I drank too much wine the night before, whether or not I've eaten properly and whether or not the weather is good enough to get out - being outdoors is so good for us, I find.

Hard for you to be stuck indoors today

frangipan · 02/04/2008 12:12

i had a bad day yesterday, felt like getting back into bed and staying there! Resorted to going to my mums just so someone else could help/make tea etc, Iknow how you feel scoobydoo, yet today I'm on top of the world cooking with ds's, going to the park after lunch....its all so random isn't it?

ScoobyDoo · 02/04/2008 12:15

Janni my dd starts nursery on the 14th for a trial 2 hours then offcially starts on the 15th, i am off back to work part-time.

It is the randomness of it all, i feel deflated today not as bad as monday but i really can not be bothered to do anything, we have alot of money worries & i think this is what is getting me down, making me stressed, sort of feel like whats the point etc.

I felt ok yesterday & done loads.

Oh well hopefully tomorrow will be a better day, sooner my bed bedtime comes the better though.
