What a crap evening.... feel like crying my eyes out!

Have posted before, but H gone over a week ago, DD is snotty and grumpy and I've had a week of bad nights sleep, I'm tired,H is probably out enjoying his "new found freedom".....oh he's a selfish b'tard and I'm in my pj's wanting to be asleep...

Oh I feel v.sad and I'm only 28!!!

I'm in my PJs, but have a good excuse as some stupid Dr at work sprayed me with blood. Have spent all day with someone's blood in my hair so jumped in the shower as soon as I got home.

Hope you're DD feels better soon and that you get some sleep tonight.

am sorry you feel so crap! most nights i'm in my pj's by at least 8pm so don't worry. everything can seem worse when you are really tired too.

am sat on my own and just about to get mine on.....dd at her dads and ds at his mates til 9pm. Ex-p probably out celebrating too...so you aren't the only one x

Mercy · 27/02/2009 19:29

I've just put my slippers on but that's because I'm an old fart.

I'm sorry you're having such an awful time. Do you have anyone who can help out for an hour or two?

sazzerbear · 27/02/2009 19:31

i'm in my pregnancy trackie bottoms (ds now nearly 2 and i'm still wearing them) - do they count?!!

mrsgboring · 27/02/2009 19:33

Thanks guys for being there

I'm wearing my lovely Q&S specialties that are all furry and bobbly and I love em (needess to say my ex-H always hated them).

I'm also watching first wives club on Film 4.
I love it. I realised my H was like Diane Keatons H, completely self absorbed and then accuses her of manipulating him! Hee hee. Well at least Im not like Diane Keaton and wearing those awful Simon Cowell-esq trousers that seem to come up to her boobs. Why?????

I'm just stopping my self from turning into obsessive detective ex-p, which I did last time we separated and found out he was seeing someone else......so I DO NOT want to be doing that this time or I will end up getting seriously hurt again. I'm imagining all kinds of scenarios and it is so painful. Imagining him with other people hurts so much.

Anyway started counselling today so hopefully that will get me back on the road to good old me....

Good luck with it all!

MuthaHubbard · 27/02/2009 20:04

DON'T think about him with anyone else - as soon as that thought starts to creep into your mind, think about something/anything else, even if that means talking to yourself about something daft. I could sit and drive myself nuts and hurt myself even more but I actually find talking to myself (silly things like 'right - going to run myself a bath/make a coffee) and going to do it stops me when my mind starts wondering.

Counselling sounds a v good idea, just talking about things can help you feel better.

And i would rather wear bobbly 'jamas than boob high pants anyday!

I was in mine at that time.

Lovemyshoes · 27/02/2009 20:22

If it makes you feel better, I am always in pj's when I'm not at work, and, when I do work, I get home at 3.15 and put my pj's on.

I have about 10 sets of pj's cos I live in them unless I'm going out.

amireallythatsad · 27/02/2009 20:24

Good. I'm not the only one then.
They are sooooooo comfortable.

How can it be that a lovely pair of pj's can make you feel so good?

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/02/2009 20:42

sorry you are having a bad time

i was also in my pjs and dressing gown just before 7pm - in time for x files

kiddiwinks in bed fast asleep at 6.30 - i had a bath and i just wanted to chill in my pjs

Warmseabreeze · 27/02/2009 20:46

OMG I thought it was normal to put your PJ's on early, I do every evening before DD goes to bed which is at 7! And they aren't nice ones they are massive (pinched from my dad!) but sooooo comfortable! For a change I am still in my clothes tonight, but that is only as DH has friends over watching the rugby .

amireallythatsad · 27/02/2009 20:51

sorry mutha

time to wallow in pjs and not think about stupid ex's.

life is very strange sometimes and I can't work out why it goes the way it does - BUT you have to hold on to you, and the real you and believe in yourself to get you through - with your friends and families help, of course. That's what I'm trying to learn. I can only make myself happy and I'm gonna try to do it. So should you

Oh and time to watch some brain dead t.v.......

p.s. how do you copy and paste posts onto a new thread?

amireallythatsad · 27/02/2009 21:00

you're right kirsten75, it won't always be this way I keep thinking too that in a few years time this will all be a thing of the past.

As its difficult to get out in the evenings with DD I try once a month to have girlfriends round and have a girly night, DVD etc. Have you tried that? It makes a least one evening it a bit more bearable
