Quootie's friends here please - new support thread

[beegeeWithBellsOn]

Hello Quootie - thought we should start a new thread.

Will be thinking about you tonight. Hope you can get some rest. Could you try having a bath or something? Can really help me to un-wind.

its shite isn't it? i kept telling my mw that i was too big, measured 42w at 38w. went from size 6-size 16 maternity (all bump) and im 5"2 with size 2 feet. was in labour for 3 days and ds had to hold me onto the bed. mw just said its hard work thats why its called labour.

ds was born by ecs (well crash cs really) and we nearly died. its rubbish

Hi Quootie - no real time to catch up on thread but just wanted to say - thinking of you...hope it all went well on Christmas day and after.

Im not sure they are taking me seriously, but, what do I have to do to get an appointment? Ive said how I am, I haven't brushed over it... Maybe ill get DH to ring and try and get an earlier appointment. It's such a long wait

It is making me ill. Ill get onto it... even the GP is doing nothing... As if just abit of family support is going to get me through 3 weeks...

Just caught up Quootie - sadly I can believe how long it's going to take for that appointment - believe me it's as frustrating for the staff as it is for you - there's just not enough of us to go around - DO keep ringing up the crisis line though if you need some support in the mean time. You're such a good candidate for therapy because you really believe you will get through this with help and you will be better again. The hardest people I've worked with are those that don't think they'll ever be better - that goes for when I work in physical as well.

Can't believe though that they're suggesting 'family' support - have you pointed out that it's your 'family' (well, DH's family) that got you into this mess and what you need is some outside help? grrr.

You got some nice things to keep you occupied during the day times? Making thank you cards, scones/yummy things etc?

Its just im being offered nothing in the way of medication by GP - he suggested the family support.

DS keeps me very occupied during the day! Might try and take something up though...not sure what...

I can't think what the crisis line can do though...

DH just rung, they are ringing his back... just getting my file...

Message withdrawn

Still waiting for the ring back... depending on what they say, Ill get DH to ring GP aswell... my normal one, not the out of hours one.

What annoys me, DH got couselling within a week when he strangled me and I made him go to GP...

Got a feeling they have just rung now...

Sorry if I'm suggesting something that someone else has already mentioned or isn't workable, but if you desperately need to talk to someone over the holiday period, don't the Samaritans work through?

it's abit beyond the samaritans... im not just feeling down... im losing my marbles.

They just rung back - They will see me Tueday now

Message withdrawn

Im pissed off about it actually.... seems it's whoever shouts the loudest, rather than who is most in need. To think if DH hadn't rung...

4 days... shorter coutdown I guess

Message withdrawn

Really plased they moved it forward for you quootie though a bit sad my prediction f 'he who shouts the loudest gets seen first' etc came true blummin NHS! I've got to back to work for them in 3 months - NOT looking forward to it at all.

Your DH any good at foot rubs? Or playing chess - ok, I know may sound silly but anything that gets you sat down facing eachother with no actual pressure to talk - Me and my DH found we just ended up chatting (we actually sit in the bath togther ). We started doing it during a 'bad' patch and initially it was me who dragged him into the bathroom but now it's the other way around and he encourages me to it! Anyway - it just occurred to me that maybe you as a couple might benefit from just sitting down and enjoying eachother's company and it might help him see you as his lovely wife and you to see him as your gorgeous man instead of mum/dad/etc? Of course, I may be preaching to the converted and you and he already do all that... (in which case, sorry!)

We used to do things like that... might get out the monopoly tonight Just in the process of writing him a little note, telling him to phone the GP for me and get some anti depressents... I can't bring myself to actually ask Im making a contraption with a pen lid to throw it to him

Surgery closed - keep forgetting Thursday is half day

im feeling really really shit

Dear Q have you finished making your contraption with a pen lid yet....have you hit your target..LOL
Keep going, you are doing great. You still have your sense of humour in tact even if you feel shitty right now.
