  • RBK Meds that react are steroids and chemo, so can't stop either - dammit.

    Hugs to all. RBK I hope you get the help you can. If your not happy with your psychiatrist then do consider asking to change psychiatrists.
    I was quite good over Christmas but since going back to the outside world I have been paranoid and down.
    Wishing everybody a peaceful night.

    Hi everyone does anyone mind if I post again, things aren't good and I miss the support of the majority in here. I'm finding life too hard and this is the only place I can really talk.

    Hugs to everyone else who is having a hard time.

    Hi everyone,

    I am not overly brilliant at the moment.

    The only job I have liked in 3 year's is now gone :confused:

    I don't know what I am going to do for the rest of the year.

    The snow has been terrible and I can't see myself going out for a while.

    My depression gets worse around my period and that is happening now.

    So I feel a bit like my world is ending.

    My house has been up for sale 8 months without a single viewing :rolleyes:

    Next month I have to pay for the home information pack which has been useless.

    This year hasn't been that great up to now :confused:

    why o why is the world determined to keep me down

    calling me a failure , magnifying my own sense of worthlessness a thousand fold

    today i will persevere through tears , i will not let them shut me down

    to all those in the same boat as me (((hugs hugs and more hugs))))

    i am a success compared to a year ago , i am coping , i am winning

    and i am able

    happy new year all.

    christmas wasnt too bad a nd i thought perhaps the meds had kicked in quick. maybe because i wasa off work and relaxed. who knows?

    but ive been a bit narky again the last few days.

    just short of temper but obviously this isnt good.

    however i felt awful this morning.....and i feel awful for saying this now...this morning while i was maing breakfast and my back was turned my 4 year old daughter ended up on her back on the floor along with the chair she was sat on. obviously has been swining on it.

    my immediate reaction was to tell her off.

    thats so not right is it. i stopped myself but found myself void of sympathy.

    im horrified especiall as i know omewhere that if it was my 2 year old son i would have been over the top with the hugs and kisses and cuddles.

    THIS ISNT RIGHT

    why am i like this? i love her to peices but to have this reaction. its not right.

    hvent heard anything from work about counselling arrangements.

    tonight though i lay on her bed and had a lovely chat with her for about half an hour. she has been playin up at bedtime recently. me? she says she can see lights in the ight flying round the room and has been for ages, no eplanation sufficed until i said maybe its fairies like the tooth fairy. we had a great chat and have had no bedtime p-roblems tonight.

    bt to be void of feelings this morning makes me feel so sad.
    There's someone in my head, but it's not me
  • all my posts are being deleted
  • anthillmob- i dont have kids but i do get really frustrated and eventhough its totally wrong i take it out on hubby and say nasty thing to him

    i think talking to your daughter was the right thing and it seems to have helped
