I justt want to sit in a corner and cry.....

[SlightlyMadSweet]

...well I am all but sitting in the corner crying. My eyes keep welling up.

Not over anything specific or huge.

i just need to snap out of it.

Would it help to cry? Or are you afraid to?

Crying can be good sometimes.

You don't need to tell yourself to snap out of it - don't be so hard on yourself.

Maybe have a cry and see how you feel afterwards? Is there someone you can ring?

Hey!

I just wrote on another post... you know sometimes I think crying is just a physical response not an emotional one.

I'm on my own with my 5WO DS most of the time and when he doesn't sleep, I cry like god knows what. I've given up seeing it as a sign of weakness, but just a physical response to what I'm going through.

For me, I have a cry and then get one with whatever I was doing.

sometimes crying can be good. It's not a sign of weakness or failure.

I can't cry in front of DTDs cos they end up in a worse state than me.

I just have no motivation to do anything. The weather is crap and I am just faced withe the Sunday chores, an arsdey DP anmd an argumentative pair of 7yos.

I think the phrase 'sanp out of it' is very distructive. It infers that we cannot take our feelings seriously. Crying, or wanting to cry, are very real things and we should let ourselves do it if we want to. Although I appreciate that it can be very hard.

Sorry there are people feeling like this on here.

can you put a dvd on and go for a sleep for half and hour?

I could do with a sleep..but DD3 is too young to be left alone and DP is in the bath.

When he gets out of the bath can you tell him how you feel and ask him to take the children out for an hour so you can rest? Failing that, ask him to mind your youngest and go to your bedroom and shut the door. and lie on the bed and sob into your pillow if you want, or just try to sleep. I am sorry you feel so sad, but sleep does help if you can get some.

I will be fine.

When DP gets out of the bath the Sunday chores will all start and go on until about 10pm.....so not really any scope for snatching an hour.

I am sure that the Nitty Gritty comb will divert my mind...

Thanks for the support though.....it is appreciated...

Is there any way you can miss a few of the chores for this week?

I don't understand about the comb

It sounds like you need some rest. Does your partner know how sad you feel?

Nitty gritty comb = headlice check = an hour of boredom.

Should be able to catch an hour in teh bath later.

thanks for that

Do try to catch an hour in the bath if you can. Lock the door, fill with the tub bubbles, lie back and relax.

Can you talk to your partner about this?

I am going to do DD3's PJs, then my bath whilst DP gets her to sleep.

I do feel better now having kept myself busy since my earlier posts....

well done
