Having a bad day

Sorry but I'm having a bad day and I just need to let it out. I woke up feeling like I've had no sleep and really down. Mum's been bad this week - a lot of pain and, I think, sliding into depression - so I'm in overdrive on worrying about her. My sister is with her today so I don't need to go round to see mum although I probably will drop round later. I thought I would throw myself into cleaning the house so make myself busy and then I'd start to feel better. My fatal mistake was asking my 18 year old daughter to help. She had a major strop. I tried to keep calm as I realise that she is worrying about my mum too but it was hard. I tried to talk to her but she just got worse and worse so I gave up. Then my husband made sarcastic comments about it all - again he is worrying and his mum is also not well - so I am still trying to keep a lid on it. But I feel even worse now. I'm now sitting on the sofa in my pyjama's watching old episodes of Grey's Anatomy without the will to do anything else. I just keep crying and feel so very very sad.

One of us got a new hat...

One of us took a route back to the station that involved a lack of pavement and a barrier to climb over..

I don't drink...

I was only trying hats on, didn't buy any.

It was a lovely day and really want to meet everyone else too.

Hugs to all.

Pleased that some of you managed to meet up. Sounds like everything was beautiful, time to breathe and relax on the memory of a lovely day.

today's been difficult for me as my brother has got to have another dose of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, there's secondary tumours in his liver, spine, neck and kidneys. I'm scared to lose him, not that we're that close but I'm not coping well being the black sheep of the family I'm not often kept involved with things.

my youngest daughter has been in hospital for a year now, she's 15 and is my world but she's quite a way from me so I don't get to see her much at the moment.

feeling lost and alone watching cbbc with the dog. At least he is there for me and doesn't leave me out of his little adventures...hugs

hB thats a lot to deal with plus being housebound yourself (if i recall correctly ) - there are a number of inline counselling services, could you ask your gp? Also, a big family on here and soneone is notmally able to respond. I know not the same as having your daughter with you. Do tell yr brother you care for him. The words may well mean so much x

Huggybear, you really are going through it. It must be so hard for you. It must be awful not being able to see your daughter much either. You say that you're the black sheep so not kept involved but could you speak to someone in the family and explain how you feel?

Sending you a big hug.

Hello Yantibee,

Hope you are well. None of us are an island, and we all need a little help
