Slip slidey..........feel like the man in the Oasis lyric.

[theworstaddiction]

Is it 'caught beneath the landslide'?

Don't want to sound dramatic, but really feel like things are slipping. Need some practical, sound advice. Sorry, boring , boring.

Multiple things am slightly worried about:

Money - spend too much. Think I use spending as a crutch.

Drink - drink every day. Not much but 2 glasses - have to have it. My body craves it.

Kids - am crap mum. Hide it under laid backness but kids watch too much tv, I don't stimulate them enough. Am shouty and impatient, tho sometimes good and nice.

bored - I am bored, bored, bored. I am relatively well qualified to MSc but finding it hard to get any job opps.

Dh is great but works very long hours.

Have been on prozac for 8 mnths - effect not so great now.

Anyone been here and got out. Help!! And sorry for another thread like this.

God, is it that boring?

Tips?

Are you shocked that i am so shocking?

You sound depressed! Maybe talking to someone like the doctor would help?

And I'm sure you're not a crap mum. Geez if you are then so am I!!

Have run out of prozac and somehow can't even be arsed to go to docs. I'm so cross with myself.......sorry.

You do sound like me actually. I was diagnosed with PND but just couldn't be bothered to do anything about it. Now I'm on the correct dosage of ad's I feel much better but still early days (can be better one day than the next). Try to force yourself to go to the docs! I know it's hard but you need some help!

Well thanks for taking the time Haribo. Will ring docs tomorrow. Thanks.

I don't know that a GP is necessarily best port of call.
Do you exercise regulalry for a start? I guarantee that would make you feel better.
Do yuo work now?
How old are your children?

No, don't work. Am doing an OU degree which really enjoy but never really get time. I know I am ready to go back to work.

Kids are 6, 4 and almost 3.

And no , no exercise, to my shame.

I would prescribe gentle regular exercise, a job or voluntary work at least some of the time outside the home and some time away from your kids.

Also,eat properly,lay off the drink and sleep well.

I promise that you will feel better. (I was there too and followed my own advice and am now fine and dandy!)

Agree with moondog - exercise. Try to find the time to do something, anything and you will feel better. It'll help the boredom, counteract the effects of the regular drinking and lift you mood - bargain!

I'm very grateful - need to get a grip.

Trouble is,its hard to get a grip when yuo feel down isn't it?

You need to set small attainable goals for every day and week and monitor progress regulalry.(lol Can you tell that i am doing an MSc in behaviour management??)

small goals, monitor progress. Good thinking.
