Had plans for the whole weekend but all of them were cancelled (Friday night friend had a childcare emergency and Sat/Sun both friends were ill). Exh sent me a list of all his holidays with his dw for childcare reasons and then I decided to go for a long walk on my own and only bumped into families out for Father's Day and loved up couples holding hands.

I have a new dp but he wants to take things really slowly. I understand this but the gaps between us seeing each other are really long and I'm struggling to cope with them.

I really don't want to come across as needy and desperate - my ds has quite severe MH problems, my mum passed away and my father also has severe mental health problems (and lives abroad) and I'm having to financially support him at the moment.

I'm starting to feel that everyone is taking from me and I'm not getting much back. Everyone in life thinks I'm incredibly strong and a big coper but all I wanted this weekend was to have coffee with one friend and they all blew me out!

Hopefully period will arrive tomorrow and I'll stop feeling sorry for myself. Do I sound like I'm being ridiculous?!

Awww!!! No not ridiculous at ALL. just caught in the grip of a lovely weekend and an ongoing set of circumstances xxx what you need is a sunday distraction and it'll be monday before you know it x

Not at all ridiculous. It's really hard when plans get cancelled because it's so easy to dwell on it all weekend.

I'm feeling similar this weekend and have my period too. I've made plans on my own for next weekend - having a solo weekend away so I have something to look forward to and just accepting that this weekend is a "feel down, rest, then get your act together on Monday" weekend. I think we all need them sometimes.

Sit it out...PMT can make me think my life is the worst life ever...then I wake up the next day and everything is awesome

Watch some light hearted TV...listen to a podcast...do some jobs you’ve been meaning to do for ages...have an early night.

It sounds like your weekend was a bit lacking in joy but there’s no doubt your PMT is making you see it worse than it actually was...it’s just unlucky your friends had to cancel 🤷‍♀️

Thanks something. It's so unlike me to feel miserable!

Thanks help and mooncup

You're right, my period will arrive and the cloud will lift and it wasn't anyone's fault they cancelled just a bad coincidence!

Will find something stupid to watch on tv and cheer myself up!

Where is your chocolate stash? Attack!!!!
😂😂

seaside 😂😂😂

Funnily enough I tidied up ds's room for him and found a hidden bar of fruit and nut chocolate which I just finished off Shock

I might have a glass of wine just to wash it down mind ;)

Well I think that's very disappointing for you to have all 3 people cancel when you were looking forward to some company and a good laugh no doubt but just pure bad luck by the sounds of things.
Think a different DP who you could see more of might help.....

BeUpStanding · 16/06/2019 23:45

Flowers OP. It's really shit when people cancel and the whole world seems to comprise of happy families. Eat the chocolate, remind yourself 'this too shall pass', and try.to get a good night's sleep. Hope you feel brighter in the morning Smile
