Penguin your dd*

Shiteforbrains that sounds lovely although I wouldn't be missing Dp I would love our bed to myself, last night me and dd co slept while he was on a camp bed i didn't sleep much but it was good not to have someone snoring in my ear.
Mn should have spelling check (or i should check more) rereading my posts my spelling/grammar is terrible ??.
I've got dd asleep now I need to try change ds and put him to bed as he has a nappy rash so I can't leave him in it incase he does sleep threw otherwise he will be really sore, I'm hoping he will settle again.

Pleased you had s good day monkeybabies. I really don't know what your DP is on putting the ps4 on when the DC need putting to bed and things need unpacking! Would drive me crazy too.

Shiteforbrains pleased you made it safely and hope you've had a peaceful night even without DH.

Poor dd is so bungee up she's been regularly waking and sniffling/sneezing. I wish I could help her more. Feeding now but she's not settling with that as she still can't breathe properly despite having just used the saline spray. Its horrible I wish I had it instead of her!

Penguin I hope your dd feels better soon, I hate when my two are ill.

Im really struggling today I've given up on the idea things can get better anytime soon, I've took the first ad a few hours ago I feel stoned (best way to describe it) and sleepy. I'm sick of asking people for help now it just hurts to much that they don't care in fact it feels like they want me this way I hate it and I feel like I annoy everyone as it must be my fault I just wish I could not do what ever I'm doing to wind people up.

Monkeybabies I know it's not the mn done thing but sending you ((hugs)). I don't know if the GP explained to you but ad can make you feel really funny at first and sometimes they can make you feel a bit more anxious for the first 1-2 weeks, then things improve from there and they take 4-6 weeks to work properly. So don't despair if you don't feel better straight away.
You do have people that care about you, we might not be the ones you see everyday though unfortunately. I'm so sorry that the people closest to you aren't doing what they should be any supporting you. Why do you think you're annoying everyone? You're not!

I don't know why I just seem to annoy everyone eventually so better not to be known, everything is just confusing me lately I don't get half of what's being said around me and I can't concentrate on anything.
If I do speak I say the wrong things or don't do everything right and I annoy me and I complain to much, who wants to know that person that complains everyday, I'm just best being as far away from everyone, I feel invisible already in rl so it's not hard.
I'm going to stop as this is what I know annoys people (complaining).

I think you're feeling like this because you're not well, not because it's true because it isn't. I don't think your DP and DM help either which is not your fault. Please don't stop talking about it. Keep the numbers for your CMHT and crisis team handy in case you need them. You are a lovely person, a great mum and you will get well again xx

Thank you penguin I wish I could say I believed it but it feels so far away right now.

I managed to get Dp to watch them for 2 hours before he went to work I wish I didn't need to jump threw hoops for it though I couldn't sleep just lay down, ds is asleep and dd is to but she's on me so I'm leaving her for a while before I attempt to move her.

I hope your dd has a better night.

I think you can never underestimate the power of sleep deprivation Monkeybabiess111. I'm sure your GP wouldn't have prescribed the ad if they didn't think they were necessary. I know nothing about them but PenguinPoser clearly does so take the advice she is giving and give them time. You don't annoy us and without knowing you dp or mum I couldn't comment on why they behave the way they do but I'm sure it's not because they are annoyed by you. Perhaps it's a tough love kind of thing? Make you get on with it and you'll cope? Or perhaps it is just simply being selfish? Whatever, I'm knackered at the moment and I am getting 7hrs most nights so goodness knows how you are feelings. Take care.

Hope your dd is feeling better soon PenguinPoser!

Why is your dh on a different floor shiteforbrains?

I have had a mixture of a weekend, too much to do som lovely moments with my boys and I've managed to have a couple of meltdowns! Got a few bits in next sale for ds3 and a new hand blender and a lovely dog walk with dh and ds3 (who vomited on me 5 times in our walk I think due to the sling being too tight!). Lovely weather this weekend here

We have had a rough 24hours with dd she is teething and really struggling I only had 3 hrs sleep last night because she wouldn't settle DH and I have done shifts today of looking after dd and catching up on some sleep in case tonight is another bad night. She won't take any calpol without being sick I managed to get her to take some children's neurofen and teething granules and she is asleep for now.

I hope your dd is better soon penguin it's horrible seeing them ill.

I'm glad you have had a nice weekend cinnamon you deserve it after all the hours you work

fingers crossed that all our babies sleep well tonight

Ooh wow on the crawling shiteforbrains! How old is your ds again? We aren't there yet - I don't think it will be too long but I'm kind of pleased that she still can't move far of her own accord.

Been up for nearly 2 hours trying to resettle her with her cold poor baby. Think we're just about there now but don't know if I dare put her back in crib yet and it's now
50min until DH alarm goes off... Yawn

I spent half the night awake trying not to be sick everyone else is fine but I'm still feeling nauseous this morning and got a headache. Hoping everyone else had a good night.

Did you manage to get some more sleep PenguinPoser?

Crawling Shiteforbrains my dd is nowhere near that.

Penguin I'm really sorry your dd is still unwell I hope she gets better soon.

I went a walk at 6 am I left the dc with Dp he wouldn't let me go to bed and they wouldn't go back to sleep after 6 wake ups, it's helped a bit just to get away and get silence although the ad I took at 9 is making feel funny again so I hope I get some sleep later then get out again spending all day in house makes me think to much.

Cinnamon x posts with you I hope you feel better soon.

I go back in two weeks to the GPs to see how everything's going.
Today I went to a bf group I left after 30 minutes I was really paranoid and just didn't feel right at all, I'm hoping that goes away it's been happening a few times but I don't think it's panic attacks but they feel similar - probably makes no sense.

Dd has learned how to bite while feeding ( ouch) so I need to work out how to stop that.

I hope everyone's had a good day, Facebook seems to be down tonight to everytime I try load something it's saying I'm not a member of groups I'm on or loading my newsfeed - weird.

She finally went back off at 6am ish this morning. I'm hoping for a smoother night tonight although she's still all snotty!

Cinnamon hope you're feeling ok and haven't got a bug or anything!

Shiteforbrains I'm v impressed with your ds! Although also making the most of dd not crawling while I can as then I'll need to baby proof etc which I'm dreading.

Monkeybabies well done for going to the group even if you had to leave early. Was there anything in particular that happened to make you feel like that, or not?
In terms of your dd it hasn't happened to me yet but from other people I've heard if they bite - break the latch and take her off straight away. Then she can go back on but each time she bites take her off then hopefully she will learn.

And yes also having FB issues
