I want to go to sleep and not wake up

:grouphug:

It is time to take 10 minutes for yourself, just to get a bit of energy back into you, do something you enjoy and get some fresh air, though in this weather remember to take a brolly;)

I have felt like you are for the last few years off and on and the last few weeks have been quite dark for me, like you say its the summer hols and routine is out and social interractions are limited but soon that will all change so hang in there.

You have been doing so well and against many odds so take a second to smile and think of those acheivements and take the strength from that to face the next lot of obsticles.

We are all here for you when you need us.:)

Hi there BH,

hope you're feeling better after all these lovely people send their good wishes and hugs. Paying off so much debt so quickly shows how strong and focussed you've been. And, as you said, you haven't added to your debt at all, just had a break.

Well I bet loads of us on here wish we could say we'd had the break without slipping up like that!

Your post struck a chord with me. I hope you feel better when you wake up. read all the friendly messages on here. JUST FOR YOU......
You may feel lonely, but you are not alone. I will certainly be thinking about you and if i could i'd pass a hug through my broadband connection.

Keep strong x

Hope you are feeling better today.

You have done so well. It is frustrating when things slow you down but I bet that if this had been last year or the year before you would have come in to September with more debt than you had at the beginning of the holiday. So you have acheived far more than you realise. There are always going to be things in the way of our dreams. That is what makes the journey exciting. And if it was all easy, you wouldn't be here, providing inspiriation to us newbies.

Thank you all, it feels a lot better knowing I'm not alone. My situation won't change although hopefully the debt will go. Some days are just harder than others. I should really talk to the carers support groups but don't want people to think I can't cope.
I've read all your posts and went from smiling to crying, everyone was so kind. Martins done an amazing job with this site, I wonder if he or anyone else knows how many people's lives have been made better. Just facing up to their situation and finding support.
I'm off to the park now. Hugs.

Glad to hear from you this morning! I've only been posting on the site for a day but it is plain to see that everyone here cares so much & whilst it might not seem a big thing it really does help. I am so impressed that you've managed to pay off £3000 so far this year - it's fantastic.

Talk to the carers support group - they helped my mum when my dad was still alive. I know what you mean about not wanting anyone to know that you can't cope though - it's that whole failure thing isn't it? It's not a failure though - there is nothing wrong in asking for help.

Take care of yourself :A

Do your local carers support group do things like massage? local ones here do. And for free ( and you know what Martin would say to you if you turned down a freebie :rotfl: )

Love

Good morning Broken Hearted,

Firstly..*big super duper hug*...because you deserve it....because you're YOU

Secondly.. Yes Martins done a fantastic job with this web site (square of applause ).......BUT (sorry Martin ) ..its the people like yourself on these forums that post that put the topping on the cream cake so to speak (sorry Martin for calling you a sponge cake lol).

Firstly.....(sorry thirdly just doesnt sound right ) Talk to the carers support group.....that is what they're for...:) CARERS SUPPORT!!!!!! They wont think any worse of you...we all need a little help from time to time. hhmm I do know where you are coming from because you're worried that they'll feel you can't cope..because a few years ago thats how I would of thought. EVERYONE needs a little boost in life no matter even if they're superwoman/man.

PLEASE..PLEASE..DONT LET THIS DEBT RULE YOUR LIFE !!!!
It wont go away overnight, so please dont make the time that you're paying it off miserable...it really just isnt worth it.

Good Luck and have a lovely day today

Just wanted to send you a big hug.

You have done really well and things will get better eventually.

Please be kind to yourself - nice shower or bath, shampoo, duvet day if you can do it. Whatever would give you some kind of break.

Would love to send you virtual chockie.
