I've sent it to you

I'm so sorry I can't talk about it openly, I hope you understand everyone.

curiositykilled · 21/09/2009 23:41

yeah, OK just felt rather unexpectedly similar about zippy and also very, very guilty about it.

dizzy - OF course we understand. We all just want you to feel better and will be glad whatever way you do it

shabs - obv for very different reasons, that just makes it more shameful really! Not really coping all that well with this pg which makes more guilt because actually I've had it much easier than almost everybody else.

I dont know we are a right jumble of emotions on here arent we? I just miss my boys sooooo much - Zippy is going slap our arses when she reads these posts - and Im only 4ft 11ins tall (and wide) and I just know I will be the first person to get their arse smacked

dizzymare · 21/09/2009 23:54

I'm going to take a break for a while

Thank you all.

curiositykilled · 21/09/2009 23:55

lol, yes. I think I might need my arse smacking. My gran has maintained that it would help since I was around 3 I believe...

dizzy - ok my love. Hope you are OK. I had weekly counselling while pregnant after I split with XP, that really helped me, I think it could help you too. I arranged mine through our local surestart family centre but you could always ask your GP.

Dizzy - always here for you...keep your chin up I know everything will be ok xxxxxx

dizzymare · 22/09/2009 00:01

I'm sorry I'm just such a fucking state, it's best no one has to deal ewith my shit right now

shabbapinkfrog · 22/09/2009 00:02

BUT thats what we are here for to help each other. I think that every experience and emotion has been 'worked through' on the multiples thread. xxxx

dizzymare · 22/09/2009 00:04

Shabbs I can just about breath a the monet,maybe having a oanic attack I don't know. What a mess

curiositykilled · 22/09/2009 00:05

dizzy - it's fine to be in a state, none of us mind, we all want to help and don't mind listening as much or as little as you want. The good thing about counselling, your other threads have given me the idea that it would be a good thing, is that it gives you an outlet and stops the feeling of guilt at relying on your friends for support all the time. I can understand that you don't want people to think of you as your problems and talking to people makes you feel like you are tainting you relationships with people. Think about counselling, it can be really good. My sure start provided free childcare too.

That said, none of us would think of you as just your problems I'm sure and I for one am glad to see when you are talking about things.

Curiosity thanks.

Still awake

Shabbs I'm very sorry, I feel like I've been really insensitive. Please read your emails.

shabbapinkfrog · 22/09/2009 07:12

Morning girls.

Dizzy - not insensitive - stop worrying xxxx

triplets · 22/09/2009 08:20

Morning all.................HUG for you Dizzy, listen to our Shabs, she is wise and has always helped me when times have been bad, just keep talking xxxx

shabbapinkfrog · 22/09/2009 08:45

Morning Trips - now if I could only sort out my own stuff - you know, the thing I laughingly call 'family and life!'

triplets · 22/09/2009 08:53

Wotcha Shabs........just off to meet my ma at the pub Back later, look after Diz xx

HarrogateMum · 22/09/2009 11:46

morning all. Hope everyone is ok. Dizzy - I hope you are alright, please tell us if there is anything at all we can help with, practical or emotional, we are good at rallying round on here!

I got stung by a wasp this morning...it still hurts. owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

dizzymare · 22/09/2009 12:37

I was going to say morning but it's not.

Our sw has been in to see us, we've had a very long chat, and the flood gates opened. I feel a wee bit ashamed about last night, but this is just going to take me a while to work through.

frumpygrumpy · 22/09/2009 13:29

Trips Wish I was there!!! In the pub 9am on a Tuesday. HARDCORE you are.

Dizzy, whatever gets you through is my advice. Look at the person you were, remind yourself you deserve to be her again, then fight for it.

My DD1 has gone to camp. Please may I allow myself a face. I am sooo looking forward to Friday [wobbly maw]. She's too wee to be throwing herself off the top of telegraph poles.

pixiblue · 22/09/2009 14:28

Dizzy How are you? My internet crashed last night and couldn't get back on. If I'd had Shabs number I'd have called/text her to see if you were ok. Been thinking about you all night/day. If there's anything I can do let me know. My email address is piximon at gmail dot com

FG I think you are doing the right thing. I'm also dreading the future school trips, my mum let me go on them and I loved it, but I don't know how I'll part with my dcs when the time comes, although I'm sure I will.

For anyone needing trainers for their dcs this website has a section called Free Shoes where they are clearing 2nds for free, you only pay postage. At the moment they are giving away InchWorm trainers, (they grow with the child's feet). We bought a few pairs for dcs and they just came and seem fine, just a bit of visible glue on one pair and a bit of sloppy paint on the heel of another pair. DS1 loves Clarks but I'm hoping the fact that his foot is almost through his current pair will convince him to love these.

dizzymare · 22/09/2009 15:38

Thanks FG and Pixie

I really don't know. I've just had a friend pop in to see us for coffee, and I tried to speak to her about how I'm feeling, but I just couldn't get the words out or right. Needless to say I just ended up crying and her not really knowing what to say to help me. She's knows I've struggled with everything we've got going on at the moment, and she's been really lovely and listened to me going on and on

I wish I could snap myself out of it tbh.

curiositykilled · 22/09/2009 16:32

Hi dizzy, I had the same problem as pixi - my internet crashed and then we've had builders knocking a doorway today so haven't been able to get back on till now.

I don't think you'll be able to snap yourself out of it. Was the sw any good? What is she thinking will help? Please don't feel ashamed. My e-mail is [email protected]
