    Hello everyone. :wave:

    Sorry I have abandoned you all this past week you lovely lot.

    Thank you for the continuing hugs Apple, it is so lovely of you and does make me smile.
    Lilty - intrigued by the T shirt :), thanks for checking in too Levi & Stepup. xx
    Unfortunately there's been no movement on the pirate ship due to the horrible weather. :(

    Well, to be honest, I have been very down about everything.
    I have had nothing very positive to say, and writing it down seems only to make me feel worse about everything, so I've steered clear for a bit. Sorry for going AWOL.
    I even took two days off work, I just couldn't cope with it. I've tried to catch up on sleep these past two days and, although still tired, am feeling a little more rested.

    The main problem is, I'm struggling with life when I am not on Mum-duties. I really don't know what to fill it with and don't see the point. Evenings are just terrible, even when I have my boy and he's in bed, I just seem to be wandering round the house not achieving anything, eating cr&p and crying. Sounds pathetic, but I may as well be totally honest. It's a very lonely existence presently.

    Him being away is not helping and I was tetchy with him all weekend. I guess I don't want to enjoy being together too much for him to be gone by Sunday night. and me to be miserable again - stupid, I know. He totally understands why I'm struggling with it, but unfortunately there's little we can do about it. His work is specialist and jobs are few and far between. He tried for months to find work locally with no success.

    I think I've hit rock bottom folks. :(

    I'll try and stick around, but I'm not doing too well at the moment, so excuse me if posts are few and far between.

    I still love y'all though. :heartpuls

    I couldn't be more with you right now. What are we like?
    It will get better. It will. It will. It will. In the meantime, cling on and we'll ride out the storm together. I'm off work too and can't get myself together, the 'life is not worth living' feelings are eating me up and I go aimlessly between tasks, chores and thoughts, achieving nothing. All I want to do is be alone and sleep and wake up when everything feels better. Have you seen your GP? Mine is next Tuesday. It sounds very much like you have hit a pretty bad patch of depression and they can do things that will help.

    But this wasn't meant to be about me. I just wanted you to know I am right there with you and am finding it hard to post too.
    Massive hugs. Be kind to you.
