    I know Andi. But at other times it can be so great.

    I hope that today is one of those days where you agree with the latter huni :)

    i wonder if I could join in this thread? I'm having a bad week and just reading the posts in this thread has helped a lot. I've been arguing with my OH since he got back from seeing his brother last weekend, he's just so negative all the time it does my head in! And then he's blaming me for putting him in a bad mood..........:confused:

    I can't seem to get anything done, then I'm blaming myself for not doing anything, my job sucks, and I'm spending a lot of my time in tears. But I don't want to go to the Dr and say I'm depressed because I can't think what I have to be depressed about. Anyone feel the same?

    Anyway, I was going to go shopping today but the royal mail being on strike meant that my wages came a day late and they still haven't cleared :mad:

    sorry to be so negative

    Poppy - It sounds like you need a break. Last time I felt like that I really didn't want to go to the docs but my supervisor at work made me as I was in tears at work all of the time and I just was not able to cope.
    Anyway I didn't say I was depressed - I just said I was struggling with my emotions, crying constantly for nothing. My finace came in with me for support.
    Doc asked things like had there been any recent bereavements etc etc and then decided it was probably 'unresolved childhood issues' and signed me off work for a fortnight.

    hi all,
    bit of a strange day today for me.felt really envious of my ds(13).hes off skool on hols without a care in the world and i felt such a baby...cos i want to be 13 again.fed up of the responsibilities ands the debts, all of which are my own making,and how itll take me 26 years on my present course to pay them off.
    am spending money, not huge amounts, iykwim, and dont seem to have anything in the fridge to eat.thank god for the o/d but still have to pay it back when get paid.
    sometimes i cant seem to see a light at the end and think if this is it then im stuffed!!!all the pleasure from my life seems to have gone lately and the more i think how cr*p my lifes becoming, it gets worse.
    i have loads in the house i could be doing but honestly, i cant be ar*sed.i feel such a lazy, idle c*w at the mo and am so ashamed.
    trying to diet, which is going the opposite way, and feel so disgusted cos i look like such a bag lady these days.feel like 74 not 44.nothing fits anymore and i cant bear to look in the mirror.have loads in wardrobe but cant get my head round anything lately.i really hate myself lately and as i dwell on it, things get worse.im sick of putting a brave face on, cos in the end ,it doesnt do any good and ppl think im not serious.
    must try to get myself together as its a slippery slope, as we all know.its only this thread that keeps me together, i swear.at least on here, you all understand and theres no smart ar*se saying"pull yourself together"and various other comments that do not help at all....
    am now wallowing in self pity and i know its not helping......but its so hard , sometimes to be who i have always been to those close to me.feel like my lifes been an act and am waiting for my real life to start...but all the time ,its passing by and am wasting it when i feel like i shouldbe somewhere else doing something i was destined for.
    god im confused, so i bet you all are.hope you get the gist.for all the jokes and stuff are all an act to keep me going.i worry im alittle skitzoprenic(sp?) or just childish???
    had to get it off my chest and no doubt, will read it back later and wonder who wrote that lot.....
    thanks for reading, guys,...i appreciate it.
    love ilgd xx

    You are not alone.....we are clones I think (except I'm a badger and male).
    Totally agree with every word you wrote.
