They do make your house sound like an episode of 'how Clean Is...':rotfl:.

Me too Sal as it appears they are going to fix it (although when is an issue all to itself )

Right, GrotBot is awake sp it must be about lunchtime so shall maje my sarnie before I get him from his cot so I remember to eat (super strong ibuprofen and empty tummy do not mix well, especially when going back on anti Ds is making me feel nauseous anyway...)

Whooosh! :rotfl:

Hmmm - haven't been able to get online for the weekend so my crops have died and I haven't been able to keep up with the gossip:cool:

Have been quite ill over the weekend but starting to get better (can almost breathe properly now;))

Anyway, Mum was less than supportive when I told her about the PND getting worse again and I'm quite angry at her but really don't know how to take it forward. I have my name for counselling sessions so maybe that will help me come up with some answers...

Otherwise just plodding away...

sallyx

Just keep plodding hun thats all you can do. Did your Mum suffer with PND or depression, or do you think she might of and has kept it quiet?

Lucifa73

TBH I have thought she is suffering from depression for a long time now. She spends almost all day every day on her own. There's no way she would admit to a 'mental illness' though so she just keeps struggling on. Saturday was kind of a last straw moment. I won't be sharing anything that significant again.

Hi Lucifa - just crashing your thread:D

Just wanted to say (after reading through) that you are doing AMAZINGLY to cope with everything. I read your list of stuff cleaning-wise and had to go and have a lie down:rotfl:

I went through PND after each child - and the reactions of people closest to me were often a surprise (sometimes good, sometimes bad). have to say though, that once people really understood what I was going through, that often changed their attitude. Not always - but my OH was dreadful to start with - but by the time number 3 came along (and I hit rock bottom very quickly following a rather manic episode) he was an absolute rock.

Hope this is a bit encouraging
