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.

I ditto all of whats been said. Sad to leave mum, wish so wish we were closer geographically. Sorted lots via a stressful weekend. Mum bashes remote on her side table to get me when im there. It makes me jump and i hate it. Penny dropped and have bought a wireless bell so we can hear her needing us (or night carer) anywhere in the house - y didnt ibthink of that before (or baby monitor). Now on train with pink Tomee Tipee cup (for babies) with the rest of a bottle of rose ive been having over the weekend. Mum giggled. I dont really talk to my normal friends much at the moment. I dont want to. Im in a cancer carer bubble and this makes you troopers my go to people. Elenium, im on series 12 of Greys. Omg! Love to all x ps Sue my brother i love but he is a nightmare with the ladies. Will divulge names if we move to anotjer forum one day. Xxx

I think most men are a nightmare where ladies are concerned! Lol

I know what you mean about the carer bubble. I was, & still am finding it difficult to talk about other topics. As much as I try I end up talking about cancer, or losing Alan, or hospitals.

Love Grey's anatomy. Have you seen Scandal? Binge watched that a couple of months ago. Almost as good as Grey's.
