    That must be tough to deal with. Lows always feel worse after feeling good. I had one brief spell of what might have been mania, but it was only the once. The come down was awful. Just plain ol' depression for me! Do you work?

    I am watching a weird film called run lola run, has anyone seen it or watching it?Its confusing me lol.

    Cant believe I have to be up at 7.30 to get littleman ready for school. I hate the school run, its so hard

    Morning all.

    Gotta get up for the darn school run myself, I wish I could get friendly with the other mums and maybe then I could get some help when I need it. But making friends and talking to people is the hardest thing for me, I think if I didn't feel so isolated, I wouldn't get so low. Coming on here is the only contact, apart from with my OH, I have with people over 5 years of age!

    Anyways, I hope everyone is well and has as good a day as they can.

    Morning All,
    Hope everyone is well this morning and having a good day.

    SF make sure you look after your cuts hun. Its hard to tell when stitches are needed.If you feel they do please go to your gp or A&E. Hope you and drifter managed to get some sleep.Im so tired, again woke up early.

    I have to go docs in a bit as they wont do me repeat presciptions yet, so I have to see a doc.This is now the 4th time, last time i saw the doc he had a go at me and told me to see the same doc. What is the point when all i need is my medication?

    I know what you mean about the school run. I wish someone could help me just now and then.I really struggle some days.When i have no energy and my back and knee pain is bad its so hard.

    I use to be friendly with a lot of mums at my sons old school and I made a big mistake. Its not always good to get to friendly with them as some ppl can be nasty.I got taken advantage of and used bug time but learnt my lesson the hard way.Now my son is at another school but am not bothered if they dont speak.My son went to another school jus before this one and none of the parents were friendly. I am quite friendly and try to make an effort but some ppl are just so stuck up.Hope you have a nice day.x

    Morning shaz, hope your ok hun.Hugs xx

    All the parents seem to be friends or at least friendly to one another, I just stand there like a lemon not knowing what to say. I must admit I'm not too keen on getting too friendly, but that's because I tend to be so anti-social I can't cope with having a friendship as I get so stressed when someone actually wants to see me. God, I'm so mixed up!!

    :hello: Everyone,

    Morning! I was up early at 8.10am to go to pottery and happily ate breakfast and then watched a bit of tv when all of a sudden I felt low as anything and rang my parents.Talked to them about it and they advised me not to go if I didnt feel well so I rang where it was held and said I wasnt going to attend this morning.

    I went back to sleep until my phone rang and it was where my CPN is based telling me that she isnt well today and cant come to my drs appointment later at 4pm with me so I cancelled the appointment to go another time :)


    I feel a bit better but not completely,I then went back to sleep and just cried and cried thinking why me,I told my mum I didnt like feeling low and she knows that I dont.I also said I wasnt making it up just to get out of pottery and she said she knew that I wouldnt.

    welcome Drifter to the thread :) post as little or much as you like


    love and light,

    Katie xxx
