Went Okay I suppose,
Got my sick note back dated a little bit - from 20th September now.
Got another prescription for AD's - only 2 weeks worth, but he gave me another presription for when they run out. I'm not to be trusted with a months supply!
Had a long talk, got a referal for the computer based CBT thing.
He wasn't very sympathetic about anxiety, and I had to push him to get more diazepam - got 10 more, so I've got 12 in total.
He had a good look through the history, and after everything thats been offered to me was - patient needs to ask husband. Didn't realise I let him influence me that much. I need to get out of this relationship, and the sooner the better.
Umm, gotta phone physcotherapy team and see what the wait is, but is likely to still be a while.
So, some progress, not as much as I'd like but I'll be safe till the 27th, I'm very unlikely to try anything while I'm with my parents, I couldn't do that to them. Just wish the thoughts would go away.
Need to do some sorting today, get all my paperwork together so I can go to CAB or summat when I'm up north.
So yeah, was alright.Stay-at-home, attached Mummy to a 23lb 10oz, 11 month old baby boy.0 -

Me... I'm shattered but I've got two meetings today with different peeps bout my daughter and then i've to do the trip to collect her and have her home for the weekend.. :eek: So I think it'll be sunday night before I get a decent sleep

My husband is very overweight and it limits his access compared to when he was younger. Our son is one of those fearless slim types that can go anywhere. He has been doing it since he was 11 and done an excellent job. He enjoyed it too.Tiff wrote:Hi CC! :hello:
Couldn't OH either fix it or take it down? I know he's got a lot of stress with his Mum though after her stroke and maybe he's the kind of person that can only deal with one crisis at a time. It's natural that OH is very worried about Mum - though that's not helpful to you when you need support. There will be a lot of support for Mum when she comes out of hospital. Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Support Workers and Social Workers will help put a care plan into place for her. Be sure to tell them she has no family living near her as that may get her extra help. Hope this helps in some way. Thinking of you.
Much Love

Yes I am sure the nursing staff are aware that there is no family around to help.
I have got a bruise on my arm today. I haven't shown it to my husband yet, it didn't appear till this morning.
I was on the phone to my mother yesterday and considering sending him to her next week, he has no work and is scheduled to tidy his room Monday and Tuesday before Wednesday before he is allowed to socialise again. But my mother and I have thought he is needed to help her out down south before we arrive. It also gets him out of my sight.An average day in my life:hello: :eek::mad: :coffee::coffee::coffee::T

Our son has been buying his friends with his money. He has a car and he is Mr D with the car.
We have taken his card from him that can be used to withdraw money
He split from his long standing girlfriend this year but wonder if she has influenced his bad behaviour. I am not sad about her not being in his life, she wasn't his 'class' - I know that sounds snobby but you have to be a strong minded person to go out with people out of your class. If you are easily influenced, they tend to bring you down.
Her BIL took weed and he obviously tried it, as she did too. He was also taking money from his accounts since 2003. It affected his personality and attitude which upset us.
I feel a bit to blame as this house has made me miserable since early on. We had a task to do it up and live here for a while but it has been a nightmare of a house, without any problems from our son. He may have picked up on that but it has been horrible and I needed more support.
I had a serious op two years ago to sort out my hormones which has made me less aggressive but a person can only take so much provocation from family, bad luck and horrible neighbours!
I do a review of my year and my findings about this year is my husband has failed as a husband and father by shouting at me and putting ME down when I was upset by our son. The neighbours have been sh*te. The only happy times were when we went away. As soon as I have to come home, I feel depressed.
The neighbours have made more effort putting up lights etc. The last two years have been like Blackpool illuminations at our house.
As I feel so unhappy here, I am protesting and having NO lights at all. Then the 'For Sale' sign will be going up next month. We couldn't put a tree up as there are boxes in the living room. Our son had the chance to put them up and it isn't worth it as he will be taking them down v soon again after new year. It is sad really. Thankfully when I go out I can escape the misery and have a nice Christmas. We are going away to my mums but hope our son doesn't spoil it. We had a nice time last year without him.An average day in my life:hello: :eek::mad: :coffee::coffee::coffee::T :rotfl: :rotfl: :eek::mad: :beer:

Wish I could offer some advice, but I'm not the best person to offer advice am I!!
Once you've recognised the misery, it is easier to plan.
Sometimes, it will feel like you are travelling backwards, but keep going. Try and keep focused, try and keep determined. you've proved you've got an inner strength by the fact you have put up with them both for so long. Sit back a little, quietly plot, and then leave. Just back away from them - they don't make you happy, don't feel you are obliged to be with them - focus on YOU. Do what you need to go to make yourself happy. And posting about what idiots they are is always a good way to work off the steam - they have such a way of pushing our buttons, then turning it round and making it seem to be our fault don't they?!
You don't need them, and you don't need this.

Thank you and you have all been marvellous to me. I feel a bit guilty tho', you all have major problems and don't like to burden people.
I had been in a fog for 30 years due to my hormones. For the last two years, I have monitored my life and it ain't pretty. I feel much clearer in my head and feel I HAVE have life more on MY terms!
It won't be quick tho'. We have to get this place packed up and on the market and I guess fate will take its hand then. I don't want to look till we sell otherwise I will set myself up for a disappointment.
I shall need a car but again will wait till the house sells to get some money.
My husband and I get on when there is no hassles but he fails me when there are. It will be sad but I won't keep sane if i live like this much longerAn average day in my life:hello: :eek::mad: :coffee::coffee::coffee::T :rotfl: :rotfl: :eek::mad: :beer:

Don't worry about it, hun. Yes we all have problems here but we are all here to support each other.
There will be days when you can give support and others when you just need support. That is just the nature of life.Hug provider for depression thread :grouphug:
