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.

Yep. Rather irritating. Certainly not appropriate for us. Think we are posting in the carers or friends and family area of Macmillan site? Guess it's impossible for them to target their message?

Agree with you all. Looks like something just written and put out there without much research into who received it.

They do do a great job .....however you special people out there, the ones that listen, read, comment, support and understand are the ones who got me to here today so I thank Macmillan for this forum and the strength you, my viral friends have given me

Hope you all have a good weekend and enjoy the sun!! It's about time the sun shone again, it's been dark for a long time xx

Yantibee. Most defo agree with you. Often said, to anyone who will listen, for me this forum has been invaluable without which i dare not think. Still now i find solace, understanding and friendship. People who relate to the journey nobody wants to go on.to coin a phrase, 'having a bad day' yesterday. Indeed enjoy some sunshine.

Had a row with my daughter this afternoon and she asked why I was always angry. It's my default mood now. Sometimes I can forget it but it's always there bubbling in the background.

This whole damned thing brings up emotions we never knew we had - anger, fear, despair, rage, desolation, frustration, abandonment and of course grief, not just for the ones we love but for the whole future that has been whipped out of our hands.
