What do you do on a down day??

[lisad123isgoingcrazy]

Have taken DD1 to new school and resulted is panic and tears. Rang DD2 preschool and getting hassle from them as Im not happy with what they have offfered.
Had SALT today for DD2 and they have referred her to a sALT group as her expressive language is delayed.

called Macmilllian nurse for DH about missing bloods

Im feeling crap and sat here on sofa in PJs but dont know who to call to talk to. Its hard as so few people understand but feel like im on here moaning too much too :(

I wouldn't worry about coming on here and moaning too much, we're all here for support! Sorry you've had such a stressful day.

Today was a down day for me too. Lately i've started singing out loud to cheer myself up...this could be the first sign of madness however ;)

Do you have a sibling or parent you can ring? I talk to my mom or my best friend to cheer me up.

When all else fails however I do tend to rely quite heavily on Mr Kipling, Cadbury's and Thorntons as my huge behind will attest to...it works temporarily but I wouldn't recommend it for the big reason stated above :)

Hope tomorrow is a good day!

Sounds like you've had a pretty shit day.. Really sorry to hear things are really tough.. Don't feel you're on here moaning to much though, coz that what it's here for.. If it helps then do whatever works.. I sometimes feel that I often only post when I'm feeling shit so I know what you mean but I guess that is why such places exist.. We can all support each other.. So keep posting..

Other than that, I do sometimes write in my journal and get stuff out by writing which seems to help a bit. I guess you'll have things that you know help a bit, e.g. Having nice bath or nice meal or putting on music/movie etc. I sometimes do that just to make me have a cry which does usually make me feel a bit better..

I sometimes call or text a friend but there are times when it just feels too raw or too black to even talk about. So then a few deep breaths, early night and hope things will feel more bearable in the morning.. I really hope they do for you tomorrow.. Hang in there..

i have 2 sisters and my mum (who is away atm) but its hard as its hard for them to understand, although they arw very supportive. LOL our puppy is called Thornton :)

Know how you feel. Have been having a down day today too. Sometimes I just wallow in it for a day or two, sometimes go for a swim after dc's in bed or take an old childhood favourite book to bed with some wine. Some days are so totally overwhelming with crap problems that all the above doesn't work all that well. It does tend to get better and I find seeing on here that I am not the only one coping with all this stuff helps me a bit. Don't feel bad about posting, I think that's what it's for - sharing it a bit. Hope you feel better soon.

Down days I drink in the evening. Maybe watch a DVD. Soon we;ll have a dog and I suspect I'll walk then.

But I also make sure I have horse riding booked up regularly as that for me brings me right up again so if I have a few down days then I know as soon as I go for a ride it'll all be forgotten.

This is the place to come though isn't it, cos no one is going to judge and theres always someone around who gets it.
My Dad had a lovely dog called Thornton.
Just thought I would add that, going to bed now with Harry potter and the goblet of fire, what an excitiing life I lead. Hope tomorrow is better for you.

Another one saying don't worry about moaning too much.. You know sometimes life is a little too much.

But there is always mn and chocolate.

I am also in my pjs ( have been for a bit) .. Ds2 didn't have the best of days...
Ds1 was told that his teeth are so misalined he only scrapes not going to the hospital to get it sorted..

I'm mad as hell about exdh who insisted he dealt with dental treatment for the boys.. Didn't get it sorted and I now need to get ds2 to have his looked at as well.( tis a long story and not a nice one).

Oh and I've still a week of it to come yet.

So tis maltesers that will fix things for me tonight.
I actually want a hot choc .. But I forgot to buy some.
