    Done. Thanks elsien
    OH isn't going to improve whilst he's here, he's making new rituals due to being obviously scared and as I now have brain damage I think moving is best.
    I thought this in May tho and er still here.

    Ok. I apologise in advance for this self pitying post but I need to get this out or it will all explode and do some damage.

    DH is ill. He has manflu. I am not feeling well either but stuff still has to be done and DA dog still needs to be walked and manflu trumps all - even horrible TN pain because he's gpt used to my yelps of pain. I'm expected to look after him whereas last week I said I had a sore throat and got 'there's always something wrong with you'. I want to ignore him the way I get ignored when I'm not feeling well, but I know how rubbish that feels and I just can't do it.

    Also, all my friends have children and are off doing stuff with their 'mummy friends' and don't bother with me anymore because obviously not having children makes me a second class citizen who knows nothing about life.

    Feeling very down and alone right now. Currently hiding in the bathroom away from people and dogs who need stuff.

    There you are, Calley! I was wondering how work was going and how you were holding up. Well done on getting through the first week, that is a huge accomplishment! Remember there is only 3 weeks to go, there is an end to it. Please treat yourself with your first wage, you really have earned it.

    WaS,

    Thank you. Just feel so low at the moment.

    Its up to 4 weeks just depends on how busy they are. Not sure what to treat myself to. Will think about it.

    Yay Calley well done for getting through work have missed you.

    Melly you are so kind.

    I see you are still standing and battling. I am so sorry that your husband seems to be getting worse. As well as the brain damage that the Dr's think you have.

    I am really bad at spelling and Brian and Brain and Diary and dairy always seems to trip me up. No idea why.

    Probably just feeling crappy talk. But I do still feel that no one misses or cares about me.And still not sure what my place is on this planet.

    Any how the sun is shinning and my guests will leave this afternoon. And if I feel up to it I will hoover and tidy up a little a bit.

    Everyone take care.

    Yours

    Calley

    ((((code))))

    Have you ever spoken (individually) with your friends about how you feel? Perhaps they feel guilty that they have children? Maybe some ground rules for the current situation would make it easier?

    As for DH.... just love him anyway. My DH is the same. Drives me crazy when he moans but won't take medicine so that is my rule - don't bother feeling sorry for yourself if you are not actively trying to get yourself better.

    calley, you have been trusted to look after the little critters. That alone shows how precious you are.

    Don't think they knew who else to ask to be truthful.

    My SIL did not know that my brother had asked me until afterwards.

    I just ache all over and feel crappy so think that is why I am so down over the last few days.

    Spent yesterday all on my own. Did speak to my husband. But will probably spend all day on my own today. Apart from an hour when my brother comes to pick up the animals.

    Yours
