I am taking a break from this forum (not this thread - the regulars on this thread are great)

It is my son's 21st today and don't need the rubbish I am getting elsewhere both in real life and the forum.

Hugs to anyone who needs them.

I'll post when I feel better have something more positive to say.

Hope you have a lovely day with your son and all goes well.

Dont do that i love your posts:A . You are different from other posters and are so right in your rants about people and customer service. I think as you get older you realise that its a contradiction of terms in tha UK.

Morning all

Was DD1's birthday the other day and she has a party this weekend so she's been hyper all week, in a very sweet kinda kid way, you know the way you forget about until you're around kids and things you just take for granted almost in your everyday life actually excite kids and make them jump-up-and-down happy

DD2 has been sweet too (although a little terror but that's the joys of having a two-year-old!) as she thinks now it's her birthday "next week" when in fact it isn't for months:rolleyes:

Midwife came round the other day and it's all go for my home birth. Feels like a huge weight off my shoulders... It's very hard to explain, I was having a bit of a rant the other day about it all to OH, things such as right from the off they ask you what birth you want and I was clear I WANTED a home birth, not would like one or might try one. Yet I found out the other day they only booked me for one the day the midwife came like they were unsure about my intentions!

Anyway it's all sorted now and for whatever reason when I get twinges (although not expecting a baby to arrive just yet, both DDs were late and I'm 38 weeks at the mo) I feel so much more relaxed about it. Yay!

Got to go to town, I try not to when I have kids with me generally unless it's something for them like storytime at the library, but I have to sort out some money stuff. So going to get going after writing this, go straight to town, bank, maybe stop for a teeny snack (as a treat for us managing it!) then get back. Also have playgroup on all day so going to drop in this afternoon.

Might check in later, hope everyone is okay, need to catch up on last couple of days' posts! xxxxxxx

You are right about getting older, it hits you more when your youngest (and oldest) is 21:eek::D

Thanks guys

Hopefully we will see our son later. We have had another snow storm, so it's scuppered our househunting.

Currently waiting on someone to see to our backed up drains:eek:

I am seriously thinking about buying a motor home and travelling the world. Houses are such a headache:(

Hi LM, did you get my PM?

I am seriously disgusted with people in this world

Bullying and kicking people when they are down is still alive and kicking

Well what comes around.........

I don't expect support and no doubt this post will attract more bullying like fleas on a dying cat.

To all the decent posters on this thread - look after yourselves.

skint,single_mum_of_4

Just wanted to say hello,been lurking for awhile !

Suffered from deppression/anxiety(am i allowed to say this word lol ?) for as long as i can remember,now i suffer from panic attacks too.

I just wish one day i could wake up with a spring in my step & a smile on my face and feel what its like to be happy

Was on my own for 3yrs (left my abusive husband 4 yrs ago,the police helped me) then 6 months ago i met this lovely guy(friend of a friend),lives on his own,no baggage,funny,good looking;) and he does'nt mind the fact that ive got 4 kids :eek:

I'm so lucky to have met him..Thing is u have got to put the effort in and i'm really struggling,i mean i just find it so much hard work.

He's comming over tonight which means..

Cook him a meal,clean house,make my bed(hide all the dirty washing)have a bath,do my hair,makeup,find something thats clean to put on(not bought anything new for years)

This is just a nice friday night for some people but i dread it !

I do want to see him.its nice when he's here,even though i'm always tierd ! but it really takes it out of me.

Its worse when he takes me out,i like going out but its the effort again and i worry incase i have panic attack when i'm out,i'm always making excuse's not to go !

I'm just so fatigued all the time with my depression.

If i had my own way i'd probably stay in my p'js all week !

The kids are use to my deppression,if its a bad day they know i'll be on the sofa or in bed when they come home from school/colledge/work (there 12-21 in age) and the breakfast dishes will still be there !
They like my boyfriend.

or if its a good day the house will be clean and i'll be cooking(very rare)

I don't want to lose my new boyfriend,but just think it will be easier on my own(don't want to be on my own,think i love him)

Also i often wonder what he see's in me..40,4 kids,overweight(oh i comfort eat too lol) ive got no money, depressed,scruffy !(i am quite attractive when ive made the effort i suppose)..what a catch i am lol !

His ex was only 31,slim,attractive(nice boobs) & loved going out clubbing etc etc

Ive got dd 21,shes lovely but got few medical problems,she does care work,loves going out and spending all her money on clothes.ds 16,going to college soon he's ever so good(just come home with certificates,i'm so proud)ds 14,i love him so much but he's so much hard work,always in trouble,always police at the door then ive got ds12,a lovely little cheeky darling who comes in my bed and we watch dvds 2gether when i'm really down.

I'm very good at hiding my deppression(though its hard work) people /friends think i'm a laugh,kids friends always say "your mum is lovely" i'm very chatty when i meet people,my boyfriend says i'm funny and one of the thing he liked about me was my personality and that i was very down to earth(was dragged up not brought up lol)

all i want to do most days is just sit on my sofa,watch tv and hideaway !

Not on any ad's as don't like the zombie effect,need motivation not zombie mode lol

Can't believe ive wrote so much,feels good to get it out though

Suppose i best go and get my !!!! in gear,if boyfriend saw the "real me" he'd freak lol...

TIME TO GET THE HAPPY MASK OUT !

La-Cara

welcome to the thread!
Near the start of my relationship I decided to tell my bf about my depression. I didn't want to get into a relationship, and be hiding the real me, because then my bf wouldn't like the "real" me only the "put on a happy face" me, and I felt like I would be lying to him. It scared the hell out of me telling him, but it was a huge weight off my shoulders once I'd done it.
If your partner is as nice as he sounds, I'm sure he would understand and be more than willing to help you through life, and not "freak" cos if he did then I'm sure that's not the sort of person you'd really want to spend your time with!
Enjoy your night, and feel free to post as much/little as you want on here, but since you've been lurking I'm sure you've noticed that already!

Take care xx
