Blank and blue and worried. Still waiting for my appointment with the psychiatrist, too. Maybe waiting begets more waiting and I should go and do something else!

Feeling pretty rubbish again 2day. Tellin myself off because I haven't long got out of bed. I am in the place where I actually wish I could get up earlier,cos I do feel like I have wasted half of another lovely day. Its messing up my routine,but I don't know how 2 change!

There are times you really need to accept what your body is telling you and rest, I often feel that this illness takes away such a lot of my life but I also know that if I dont rest when I need to it will take longer for me to get better

Hi Cinderella,

My children are 12, 10 and 7. My middle child, daughter, has suffered from emotional problems for several years and I know it is because of me. She struggles in most areas of life at the moment.   

I had a long discussion with me GP about how my illness has affected and will continue to affect my children. Although there are very bad things that can come about as a result, he also said that he had read research that clearly implied that children with a parent with mental health issues, tend to grow up as sensitive, loyal and friendly children who are good team players. I hope this is so for mine as I really can only give them a limited amount of myself. 

Today I am feeling anxious, suicidal and spaced out.

For the first time in many months I actually feel as though I'm winning and getting nearer that light at the end of the tunnel. 

Got to keep fighting  :vik:

good morning everyone!!!! *&^

I feel ok today. At work now.

@ Louise:  Yes, I agree. There are good times and bad times and worrying about it does not help.
both of my children are aware of who I am and my strengths and weaknesses.
My daughter has been more and more interested in the word/term 'depression' and I can see that
she has her own thoughts on it.

We are their parent and I know that my parents weren't perfect, but I still loved them, because they were my parents and no one else's.
Of course there are moments when one compares and sees how other parents interact with their children and it all seems smooth, but I am sure that you do your best, and so do I.

lol

Cinderella, I'm sure you are right. I am always careful to conserve any energy just for them. I can't do more than that at the moment but I do know they love me. Thanks again for taking the time. x x x x

Feel horrible throat hurts and I feel weak and dizzy, not sure if that's the new antibiotics or just lack of sleep

[Cinderella]

@ Icelolly:  Lots of fruit and fruitjuice.

Spreptocil help (and taste nice) for sore throats! Wish you better. $%$
