Hi,
Today I don't feel good, mentally or physically. Had bad night, at one point didn't know if dreaming or awake. Felt like I was being smothered but the more I called out the less breath I had. Was quite scary. Asked OH if heard anything but he was in spare room and nothing wakes him anyway.
My throat seems to be getting worse, so maybe that is effecting my mood. But I don't know. Having a don't know day I guess. Feel like just want ground to open and swallow me up at moment.
Hugs to you all, take care xx

That sounds terrifying! Does it happen very often? I'd go to your doctor as there are many types of sleep anxiety disorder of which this could be one. If they can't solve or make it go away they can refer you to a sleep neurologist who may have more answers.

Hope your throat recovers soon, I know if I have anything wrong with me, it can influence my mood in various ways.

Twinklebelly - hugs to you.

Tulip - hugs to you too...

Well my good days have now just turned sour. Me and Dbf have had a lovely afternoon driving around the peak district only to have a row on the way back . He's slammed the car to a stop and got out, so I've driven home and left him (he isn;t far from home...) dread to think of the argument that is going to start now....

Oh well - will keep you all posted

Hi,

Katie, hope you are ok, hugs to you.

jenniewb, thanks, I will mention to the doctor a week Monday when have to go back. I seem to have been having very "destructive" dreams.

EM - thanks and hugs to you to, hope things ok when he returns or at least can start to sort things. I hate arguing at the best of times and when I do now with OH it seems 10 times as bad.

Had a lazy day, still feel pretty low, didn't have the energy for anything except dropping Easter eggs off at my mums and brothers for the children. Will make myself go out tomorrow, even if just into town.

Have read most of the book Shoot the Damn Dog - I am finding it helpful and can recommend it. There is lots of interesting insights and quotes, some of which was touch on by my counsellor when I went. If anyone is waiting for counselling/therapy it maybe handy to have this to read in the meantime. I can relate to a lot that has been written.

Hope you've all had a good Easter as much as possible.

Take care

Hi All

thanks for the hugs and good wishes.

It was ok when Dbf got back. The good thing about the meds is they help me tackle situations better, instead of crying of screaming my head off I can spot the triggers and hopefully help me calm down.

In the past I would have driven round and had the argument on the road and try and persuade hime to get back in the car. This time it was different, I drove home and just got on with stuff. This helped me clear my mind and also work out what I wanted to say...

Well it worked - we talked and he listened to me....

So - today is a better day, I went out with the dog and I forgot to take my phone so when I got back this was a problem as he had been trying to ring me . Well he got over the situation ok and has gone climbing with his friend, who had rung up in a state over his relationship, oh it's all going on.

Well hope everyone has a steady day - have fun at your folks Tulip.

Hi Everyone, hope you are all ok.

Having a quiet day, nipped into town as had a few bits to take back, then took some flowers up to my dads grave. Was so peaceful and sunny up there, sat on the bench for about an hour. Then went to supermarket to get bits for lunches this week.

I'm not feeling great, getting anxious about back to work tomorrow. Will be good to see my friends but its the rest of it that gets to me. Don't want to be at work but don't want to be home alone either. Guess thats why not taken much time sick, no matter how bad I been feeling. I just don't know what to do for the best .

Wish I could be like my cats, just curl up anywhere and sleep the day away, except waking for food regularly!!

Speak soon, take care,
xx

Hi all,
I hope everyone is well, Katie thinking of you, if you're happy it's ended with your boyfriend, then I'm happy for you too

Just opened a bottle of wine, I haven't had one for 2 days, so I'm quite proud of myself, but I couldn't go without one again tonight, so I'm not going to beat myself up about it.

I hope to speak to you all tomorrow.

Take care,
Alison x

Hi
Ive just found this thread, I hope no one minds me posting but i feel so down and helpless tonight. Im so fed up of feeling like this and feel selfish for feeling like this when other people have worse problems but I just can't help it and I try so hard to keep smiling for people but sometimes all the faking gets too much and I just break down...like now. Im so tired of feeling low, I want to be happy and appreciate things like the summer is coming so why don't I? Because im bloody useless, to be fair im no bloody good at anything at all, not one thing, people have things they are good at but not me im no bloody use. Beats me why my OH loves me so much or my cats, im sure he and even the cats will realise one day.
i just want to scream at the top of my voice! And why is it that ive wanted to kill myself lots of times but when it comes to finding a lump in my breats I suddenly don't want to die like that? How does that even make sense??
Right ive embarassed myself and intruded and I apologise for that. Im sorry about others on here who feel low too, i wish I could make you all better I really honestly do xxxxx

emzy,
hi and welcome here. So sorry you're feeling down tonight. You are not alone in feeling that way, sometimes the fake smiles hurt to much to wear, so please dont feel like you have to hide away how you are feeling.
I wouldnt wish depressions/anxiety on anyone, its the hardest thing in the world to explain and to understand, and also to live through.
I've felt exactly how you felt, believe me - i couldnt understand why my wee boy loves me unconditionally when i was feel like utter hell.
theres no need to apologise for what you feel or want to vent on here. Hope you get some support and an open ear for whenever you're feeling down,
x
