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.

Not much sleep. Terrible hearing about the attack in London Bridge and Borough Market. Maisiemae, Elenium and I were there so recently it hits home even more.

Located sisters best friend around 1.30 am as she had travelled through London Bridge.

Today I suspect our loved ones are in a better place than this one.

Dad's party today we don't feel like it.

All. Indeed not much sleep. We live v close to largest police station in London so they were all rushing to the scenes plus its all so close to my manor it was unnerving/shocking/sad/pointless. Why cld god let our loved ones live as these crazies have no tespect for life. wanted so much to phone mum and tell her we are ok and werent out. She would normally call me first. Tragically there are going to be unanswered phone calls for a number of people. All senseless. Warm hugs to you all x

Emailed the candidates in my area last week asking if they'd support assisted dying. So far the Green Party responded to say they would support a change in the law. No other responses as yet.

I'm just on my way home from a funeral. It was my husband's uncle. I wasn't sure how I would feel but I actually didn't feel anything. I felt sorry for his children but in a detached "I know I should feel bad for you but can't actually feel anything" way. Part of me couldn't quite understand why they weren't distraught but I know they weren't that close to their dad. It was strange. I went for my husband but I do wonder if I shouldn't have because I think it may hit me later.

Elenium. youve been so traumatised yr brain and body are protecting you. It wasnt for you to grieve For their loss. Just acknowledging. Be kind to yourself - its ok to feel less for once xxx
