Lil - no need to apologise, not at all. You're not the first person to ask what is a fairly reasonable question. The answer is that I'm not equipped to deal with the fallout - my parents have a track record of falling out with family members, but not 'quietly' - there would be visits from them, letters from them, phone calls from them. As it is, I talk to them once, maybe twice, a month and although it does sometimes get to me, I usually escape in a reasonable state. So until I'm stronger I think it's best to maintain teh status quo. (((Carp))) Sorry your holiday didn't go as well as it could have. And ((())) for everyone else who need them. |

I don't know if it's related to the news. I have got nothing at all done today. Took me eight hours to force myself out for a run which became a run/walk and was cut short. Went home and pulled the duvet over my head again. The house looks like a bomb site, washing has been in the machine for two days, I haven't fed the kids.

Had a teary phonecall off my eldest daughter today who sounds very much like she's suffering with depression  Told her to go to the gp asap. I suppose one good thing was I was able to let her know that I have felt exactly like she does now and it's not her fault it's nothing she can 'control' without some help which is the bit she's struggling with. Thankfully it has seemed to help. Feel a bit useless tho

Have been feeling 'meh' for the past few days. I'm bored, but don't actually want to do anything. I've been 'forcing' myself out for a run in the morning, then I do a couple of jobs, but always want to be home by 12. Not really sure why, I suppose I just feel 'safe' at home, but I'm getting quite obsessed. Sleep is difficult, not just because of depression, but because I have terrible pains in my ear/jaw that keep me awake/wake me up and because my cat thinks it's appropriate to howl/bark/screech in the early hours of the morning it's awful. I'm finding not having a routine is pretty though, I never know what the date is, and quite often the day as well. All that said, I'm not at my worst, but I just feel totally in limbo. I don't want to go back to work, because nothing's been sorted out, and I keep ducking out of calling my boss - I'd like an update on when my kitchen is going to be up and running again. I think having a date would help me get my head around going back to work, but I'm pretty sure that things are still up in the air, and if I do go back, it won't be to my own kitchen, it'll be somewhere else and I don't want that. (((Hugs))) to all who need. |

I lurk on this thread and empathize with each one of you and have learned much, particularly about guilt, families, addiction and obsession. The suicide of Robin Williams just brings back my brothers battle with this life and his demons that he couldn't defeat . I'm off my meds now and holding on and reading all your posts really helps. Wishing you peace x

(((Carp))) Recognise that description of how you're feeling. Hope you feel a little better today. (((EB))) Glad you can help your daughter, very glad. (((Lil))) I suspect many of us will get the 'limbo' thing. Not knowing is a nuisance at best, and can makes things much worse. Hope you get to talk to your boos soon, well, I hope it helps if you do to be more precise. Hello OB - Glad you've find the thread useful, stay well! I ended up taking five diazepam yesterday. Should have been on cloud nine after that, but it only just took the edge off it. Not having a good few weeks really. Marriage break up, moving house, mother (as ever), therapist pressing my buttons. Progress - ha, doesn't feel like it at the moment. And now I find out that my sister is texting my son - she's a worryingly unstable person who has treated her own son quite appallingly in the past and I don't like the idea of her being in direct contact with my own son. |

Hugs to all who need them  Things not very good at home. Some slightly alarming stuff yesterday in particular (I can't go into any more detail). It's not quite 2 weeks since he started on the medication so I am telling myself it's early days, he's back to GP tomorrow, I just hope he tells him everything. Definitely no chance of him going back to work next week as was originally hoped. I am struggling too, with this and other issues (son moving to Dundee, work-related stress). I'm not depressed but very tense and agitated/feeling weepy, trying to be calm and supportive all the time is hard. |
