I don't know what to do

I didn't sleep well and feel my OH is invading me. I don't feel comfortable living with him, he is either sickly nice and wanting to me with me when I feel tired and wanting to be alone or when I feel good, he is withdrawn. It is driving me nuts.

He hasn't the first idea about what I need and keep telling him I want space sometimes.

I know the feeling, I wish I lived alone - I hate living with people. I feel on duty and don't get peace till they goto bed which is late and causing my sleep problems.

I just want a day off!!!!!!!!!

I like living alone. I found it extremely hard when my ex moved in, because he was untidy and I have OCD, and he was under my feet all the time, and I didn't feel comfortable being myself. At first I was sad when he left me, then I counted it as a blessing.lol.

My old foster carers used to do restbite care. We used to have children with special needs stay with us for a weekend, or sometimes just the afternoon so that their parents/carers could have a little break etc. It was arranged by Social Services.

in my area social services are total waste of time, they say they lack resouces and facilities,
other times, they say my kids aren't disabled enough
other times i am told wat a fantastic parent i am in coping, and keep up the good work
my cpn has contacted them and explained the impact caring full time has had on my health, and still they do nothing, i just want a day off once or twice a month, am i asking for too much?

sorry for rant

:hello: Everyone,

Hope you are all ok,I am alright.I too didnt feel that great today as I felt low again but I went out with my parents for a walk along the seafront until something made me smile which I had seen on the icecream board and It was Smarties!!!! I got the Smarties Popup icecream and I ate it all myself :rotfl: I didnt give a moments thought about thinking of sharing it with you all sorry.

I then went home and had lunch of Quiche and salad which mum prepared as I didnt feel eating by myself at home today.I had a sleep and now I feel better until it is actually bedtime.I will watch Casualty tonight and then go to bed.

Hope you feel ok soon Anni and CCstar,Shaz and everyone else
