I'm done

Didn't think I'd be saying this. But I need to see a GP at this point, I'm losing it.
I can't seem to concentrate or focus, my head isn't right. Dh isn't helping, he keeps saying that perhaps we should stay after all, perhaps he does like it here, and then the next day he's talking about moving to England. It's just too much. I can't deal with the kids, I can't deal with anything. I feel really really shite and have done for days now.

I'm not after sympathy or advice, I just needed to admit that to myself.

Can you get someone to post you some from here? I could post you a couple of packets if you wanted? CAT Juno if you need a postperson!!

Thanks Dottydot, I'll find out one way or another! The pharmacy will have them, I'll take the latin name in with me.

Can't have any days off sick, I've already taken too many off when we had the "Big Family Lurgy" just before the Easter hols. I don't do many hours as it is.

Look \link{http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=St+Johns+Wort+French&btnG=Search&meta=\here} 4th one down, I can't get into it though, just wondering if I'll be able to get it now. The French name is mille pertuis I just found out, I'll try tomorrow.

rhuby, I was sending you all some stuff tomorrow anyway (have had fun shopping today Smile) so I will buy some SJW, and also Bach's Rescue Remedy just in case that helps too, and add that for you.

So sorry to hear how crap you are feeling but please remember you are completely fab and nothing like your mum!!!

Tortington · 27/04/2006 08:41

Better thanks Custy. Had a better nights sleep although I still feel really tired. I'll go to work and try and do that, it make take my mind off things.
Janh, don't bother with the Bachs, I drank a whole bottle of that stuff on the day I got married and it didn't do much, not that I remember anyway! But thanks for the SJW, wonder why it's banned over here?

According to one of those google links "Officials are concerned that the herb will interact with prescription drugs in harmful ways. Speculation about these types of interactions has been given much play in the press lately." But that was in 2000!

There was a large trial done in France in 2003 which said it's v successful in treating "mild to moderate depression" - \link{http://www.herbalgram.org/herbclip/review.asp?i=43731\report}

French medicine is just different. Do you need anything else from Boots that you can't get there while I'm going?

Thanks JanH! Paracetamol if you can get it would be nice! And do you think you could possibly get me some non-drowsy but strong hayfever pills? I can only get 7 pills here at a cost of 5.50euros and they don't work very well! I'll pay you back at the meet-up! (You are going to the meet-up aren't you?)

Guess what? Dh drafted a letter to send to a Plant Hire company and he's been on the pc all evening looking up companies. But he know reckons that there isn't much happening in Cumbria by way of construction/rail and it'll be very hard to find work. Just what I wanted to hear right now! Sad
But work was ok and I now have a week off. I had a nice bath and will now get off to bed.

DC - you do not tell people that you have my email addy ok????? As far as they are concerned, you are the piece of dried up snot just underneath my nostril that everyone stares at, you are the snot trails on my collar that I haven't noticed, you are the reel of toilet paper stuck to the bottom of my shoe when I exit the ladies - get the picture?

So, you DO NOT have my email address!

Custy, JanH is sending drugs, thanks! Although I could do with a bit of dope, think the PO will allow it through?

Hey rhubarb - just checking in to see how you're doing?

PC monitor went wonky on Monday and the Viewsonic guys only delivered the new one today so I've been mumsnet-less all week!!

Glad you had the chat with DH - things still better?

Hey there!
Well, there is not going to be a permanent contract for dh that's for sure! They just told him that there is no work now until mid May when maybe he can get 2 weeks work on the tractor!

So what we do until then I don't know. He'll have to try and find some work on the black to support us until we come back. But that's more or less settled it anyway, we're coming back whether we like it or not. Sad

I'm coping a little better, a bit up and down really. I'm relieved that the decision has been made for us, but also very worried about the whole thing, as if I'm carrying the weight of this on my shoulders. I'm sure I've aged about 10 years, I look it anyway!

Dublindee - how is everything? How far gone are you now? Are you still getting sick?

OP posts:
dublindee · 29/04/2006 12:50

Fine thanks Rhubarb! Reckon am 6-ish weeks max but not been to hosp yet. have booked in to have first appt with midwives next week and doc has referred me to the hosp where I had DS. all systems go! Have not been sick as such a few mornings have felt a bit off (which never happened last pg) but haven't ACTUALLY puked and it hasn't been horrible so I think I'm very lucky tbh.

Sorry to hear about DH's work - but in a strange way , maybe its a good thing as it's forced your hands to have a final decision? Good luck over the next while tho - I know what it's like to struggle.

Let me know how the wedding plans go! I wish I could get married all over again, it's so exciting! Make the most of it! Grin

Wedding plans will be taking a back seat for a while - we reckon early 2008 will be the earliest we look to book anything. Still gives me loads of time to plan stuff in my head though!!
