Having a bad day

Oh it's SO FECKING CRAP isn't it?

Can I join you Elenium? On the sofa?

Mum curled in weird position on sofa clutching head think depressed also not eating much and nauseous even with tablets.

So same here minus teenager...plus my dad.  Tried rampant cleaning.

Oh and the neighbours cat bit me when I stroked it.

Sorry you are having such a bad day, sometimes it does help just to write things down. You are so right that everyone around you is struggling too but the does not always help when you need support as well. Don't know if it might help you to talk to someone outside the family, you can of course ring the helpline here (0808 808 0000 Mon-Fri 9am-8pm) or if a face to face might help then you could look for a local support group using the in your area tool. Do talk to your GP too, you need support every bit as much as your mum.

Hope things took a bit brighter soon.

Oh Jennyicb, yes it is. I hate it! It's not fair and I want to shout and scream.  I'm so angry.  I don't want to speak to anyone and I want them to all leave me alone.  My only comfort at the moment are my two dogs, who are currently sitting at my feet. They barely leave my side, they know that I need them.

I'm sorry that the neighbour's cat bit you, but it did make me laugh.  Cats are gits, aren't they?  My mother in law had one that we called the cat from hell.  She hated everyone (the cat, not my mother in law) except my husband.  The cat used to sneak into my sister in laws bedroom and pee on side of the bed, but right near the edge so that she wouldn't notice it until she was in bed.  Give me dogs any day. 

Thank you for replying. I feel slightly better now but still want everyone to go away.

I hope your day improves.  I'd be happy for you to join me on the sofa but you'll have to bring your own chocolate.  I'm not sharing mine...

Message me if you need to.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for replying.  Writing everything on here really does help.  I have been thinking about seeing if there is a local support group.  It might be good.  

I'm feeling slightly better but still don't want to speak to anyone.

Thank you.

Hmmm I also feel the need to be left alone..completely alone...I guess it comes of being pulled in all directions? (Medications doctors pharmacists depression pain weird diets symptoms side effects poo vomit..family stresses .. ...negotiating all the above is brain scrambling for me).

Glad you feel a degree better.

Mum ate a fishcake and it hasn't re-appeared so that's good.

Can bring gin to sofa.

Still like the cat his purring soothes but he's plainly jekyll and Hyde. 

I'm wondering if hospice can provide counselling. ..although how would we get time to go?

Jx

it"s good that your mum has kept her food down. Fingers crossed it stays that way.  

You can bring gin.  I don't drink - although at this point I wish I did - which is why I turn to chocolate.  I understand that pink gin and elderflower tonic is very nice...

I expect the hospice would be able to help with counselling but I do understand about about having time.  I think it would probably be good to speak to someone but I too wonder when I would have the time.

Maybe the cat was having a bad day too??

I'm still on the sofa watching Grey's Anatomy.  I've lost count of how many episodes I've seen today, maybe six or seven, but I've ate loads of chocolate and crisps... and am not speaking to anyone.

That sounds perfect! 

Aarrgghh!! Is Right!!

My OH has been awake a lot in the night. Now, he's got a temp & was imagining things earlier! Waiting for doc to visit. Oh, & my cats haven't bitten me, but one keeps looking at me like I'm about to feed her to the neighbours greyhounds!! 

SHIT!! SHIT!! SHIT!!!

I'm now on Industrial size Galaxy!!!

Mum can't do anything so far today. Buckets are at the ready.
