NS the thing about RL help was that you also need someone to physically talk to. It wasn't to stop you posting.

Why would crisis take you away? And if they did, do you think it w ould help you in the long term? Am asking btw am not suggesting that you should be taken away at all

differentID · 30/08/2008 20:37

I'm so sorry if I upset you earlier, I'm just so sad that you feel that way and that there's nothing I can really do to help you except be here if you need to sound out. How is your intrepid explorer now?

do you think a M&B unit would help you at all? you would still be with J so that worry would be taken away. the temptation to drink/harm would be removed because you would be watched closely.

Do you WANT to go to a M&B unit?

again i am not suggesting i think you should

mummylin2495 · 30/08/2008 20:56

i am sorry to see that you are still feeling so low ns,i wish all our thoughts could help you through this.

triffictits · 30/08/2008 20:57

I am with MOM - I think you should give it some though ns - not suggesting at all that you should do it, but it may be worth thinking about. You would have j with you and would also receive some professional help that you deserve. You shouldnt have to feel like this all the time and I wish someone could give you the help you need to stop these feelings - maybe worth thinking about it.

needsupport · 30/08/2008 21:04

i havent had this amount of prelonged angst for a very long time.i know why im like this but i cant crawl out this hole.i am trying though.
i am thinking about the mother and baby unit.

mummylin2495 · 30/08/2008 21:09

At least there would be people around in there to help you with your little onens,and other people you could talk to.But of course its for you to make your own decisions.Do you think it would be a good option for you ?

triffictits · 30/08/2008 21:11

I am glad you are thinking about it ns - i think you need some solid support right now. None of this is your fault and you really do deserve to feel better - you should be enjoying your j not having to deal with feeling so bad.

differentID · 30/08/2008 21:16

hiya sweetie, i'm back. You are trying your hardest to come back from the pit the money reopened and for that you are one of the strongest women I can think of because you refuse to let it win. If going to a m&b unit will help you even more and it's what you want to do, then go for it. Don't feel pressured into it by anyone- not your mum or your mental health team.

bellavita · 30/08/2008 21:21

Evening ns - how have you been today?

needsupport · 30/08/2008 21:31

not great bellavita but i am trying.i have to be ok

bellavita · 30/08/2008 21:34

good girl

LackaDAISYcal · 30/08/2008 21:42

NS, I'm an outpatient at the M&B unit in Leeds. The place is fab though, and if they had suggested that I was an inpatient I would have gladly done so

Sorry you are still feeling so bad. Please talk to them; they may treat you as an outpatient, but really, being an inpatient wouldn't be so bad.

MatNanPlus · 30/08/2008 22:01

Am here Hun, i can see your fears but you know my thoughts.

You Love for J is strong it is just that inside you is just a bit bogged down at the moment and you might need some RW help to get unbogged.

needsupport · 30/08/2008 22:18

im here.been emailing shiny about some stuff.
ill have to feed in a minute

differentID · 30/08/2008 22:23

Don't stress too badly about the feeding, sweetie. You've been doing so brilliantly with it, are you finding it any easier?

MatNanPlus · 30/08/2008 22:25

How is the routine NS?

needsupport · 30/08/2008 22:29

Hi ns, glad you have stayed in touch with everyone today but for you that it's still so painful for you.

I just wanted to echo what the others said - it is an amazing thing you are doing for j, that you can still feed him even though it's the last thing you feel like doing. Wow! What a great and truly unselfish mum you are, to put j's needs ahead of yours like that! BIG pats on the back for you.

I wish I lived nearer to you so that I could offer you some therapy that would help - did you manage to read about the EFT or was it all a bit too much at the moment? It is very good for Post-traumatic stress.

Have totally buggered DS's 'routine' up today - only got him to sleep about 20 mins ago and I'm fairly sure he will be awake again in an hour or so - it IS hard being a mum to a 9mo, whoever you are. So the fact that you are dealing with everything else as well and STILL managing to look after j is fantastic. MORE big pats for you.

And lots of ((((((((((hugs)))))))))))
