Having a melltdown, please someone sympathetic talk to me

[DumbledoresGirl]

I am in my kitchen crying and crying. I have just refused to meet a kitchen planner who came round to plan our kitchen. I have just screamed (and I mean screamed) at my son to tell his friends to go away. My husband is here but angry for me for being as I am. I am just crying and rocking and rocking and crying. I feel I want the whole world to go away but I also want someone to hold me and say everything is going to be all right.

Living with anxiety can be very exhausting, and can tip you over into depression. How often do you feel melted down?

I often feel like this too, I want someone to come in, give me a big hug, tell me to go to bed and stay there for a day or two and just look after ME for a change. I could rely on them to do everything I do for the DDs and just let me curl up for a bit.

I have been on ADs for 2 weeks now for anxiety and PND and they haven't helped a bit.

I have walked away from them all, leaving them eating icecream for pudding. With any luck dh might get the hint and do the clearing away and washing up. If not, it will still be there tomorrow and I daresay I will do it. I have shut myself back in the bedroom.

Thanks for responding, all. I don't often have meltdowns, but I am under extreme pressure right now, it has been noticably building for about a fortnight, and today was the day I finally cracked.

((hugs))

not very good with words.... so sending you some cyber flowers & chocolate x x

When life is stressful we all get to breaking point sometimes. I scream and cry and feel inconsolable. Some sleep (I'd say a good night's sleep but I can't remember what that is) and, cliche-ridden that it is, you will feel better tomorrow. What I hate about feeling like this is that all those things still need doing - I too wish I could have a nice hospital visit! Somehow taking a day off (doesn't have to be a perfect day either, just a day when you will not feel guilty for doing nothing) can be enough to start fresh. I don't know if that's any help, but it helps me when these days descend. And I never call it depression either, I just realise months later that's often what it was.

DG...are you ok?

can you just come on here and let us know

Struggling on daftpunk. Thanks for thinking of me.

DG

You alright, love?

Need anything?

Where shall I start?

The menopause to start.

My children's health to be guaranteed.

The builders to go away.

My house to be decorated, cleaned and kept neat and tidy.

My husband to stop travelling away for work.

A fulfilling but stressfree job.

Oh and about £500,000.

Any offers from anyone?

Can't make an offer but I'll sign up for all of the above (apart from the menopause).

No advice but a similar list!

Although when dh is away it is one less person to act like an eejit!

DG - Why did you not email if you are feeling low? I would have cheered you up, sort of.
Would you like me to email you my phone number?

Don't need to be flippant but I can offer freshly made blueberry muffins.

Dont mean.....

oh believe me, when you have put up with the cr@p I have put up with month in month out for at least 2 years now, you will want the menopause!

Blueberry muffins would be lovely. It is the little luxuries that make life sweeter.

Saltire, I would email if I was not down, but when I am down I can't face anyone or anything. But it has made me feel a little warmer inside to read your post.

Sorry to read this DG .

Well, you know my email if you need to chat
