    Mornin peeps

    I'm dreading today.. I just feel so overwhelmed by everything. I didn't get my essay finished to how it should be and it's sposed to be handed in today. I've got a seminar to present tomorrow and I'm nervous as hell about it and today I've to meet the girl I'm doing it with and compare notes etc and guess what.. mine are all scribbled and not in a state to share with anyone!

    Arrgghh I just want today to be over :( It's sooo tempting to crawl back under the duvet and forget it all.

    Anyway.. Hope you're all going to have a better day than I am.

    Cyas later :)
    Hi Ethel - good luck angel - I'm sure it will all come together.;)
    much love

    Hey Rose, hope you good soon, take care x.
    Don't know if I'm going to be able to post much today - things are bad, I'm low, very low. Life doesn't seem worth living and all that.
    Re:finland - he won. Not only am I going - but I've been made out to be the evil, spiteful, vindictive !!!!!. One of these days I'm going to tell him that if he jolly well hates me all that much, I'm not staying.
    Anyways, thinking og you all x

    I haven't read through this entire thread, but am so pleased that you are all fighting this illness rather than letting it win. I also suffered PND for about a year after my daughter was born. I went on pretending everything was fine as I didn't want them to take her away. It all came to head when she was 8mths old and I had walked out on my fiancee. He dragged me to the DR's and made me admit what was going on. It had never occurred to me that I was ill - I was just a bad mother. The DR put me on prozac after a month of refusing it. Stayed on it for a couple of months and decided it wasn't for me. It was making me slightly happier but wasn't sorting out the reasons for depression. So I decided that I wanted to work as it was clearly being stuck in the house on my own with a baby for large periods of time. I volunteered at a creche and now 6 years later I have worked my way up to being the manager of an after school club. If I'm on my own I still feel low, but have learnt to recognise it and do something about it.

    Well, I know I've rambled on but my point was to try to find the cause of the depression and treat that aswell as the symptoms and it will all fall into place eventually.

    Morning all :wave:

    Hope we are all fighting still :)

    Still no reply from 'S'. Adorable girl, rubbish communicator.

    The lynx effect isn't working for me, maybe I should try the usual approach that wins her over.........take all her money, call her names, bed her when I feel like it, humiliate her, shout at her, tell her she's stupid/crap in bed/useless etc etc

    Of course I will never do that, but some people are drawn to that, as it's what they are used too.

    I understand she may be confused/scared, and I totally will put up with it........but it doesn't mean I like it or don't find it hard, as it makes me feel like i've done something wrong and i'm not likeable.

    Mainly her issues I know, but I have issues too, and she's not helping them!

    Like I say, adoreable girl, hard work!

    Anyway, hope every one has managed to get up from out of the duvet today

    :wave:

    Add the fact my flatmate is being a total :mad: this morning.

    I'm not calm this morning!
