Hiya caitlinsmummy (sorry dont no your name)

Am glad you realised something was up hun that is the hardest bit to accept Am sure you all ready no that if you need to talk we are ALL here for you hun
How is your oh is he understanding xx

Av just seen your name lo am having a bad day xx

 

[pinkmummy]

Thanks hun

Luckily for me my OH is quite understanding, his dad had depression years ago so he's kinda dealt with it before.

Since finding out he is alot more helpful with the kids to give me a little break. He works 8.30 - 5 Mon - Fri apart from Wednesday when he works until 9 and during that whole week I have both kids most days expect Tuesday when they go to his mums.

He has started seeing to them on a night and putting them both to bed so I can relax a bit and doing things on a weekend with them which helps alot!

How are you feeling today hun? x

 

[ALY]

Awww that is really good of him

I tho my tabs were starting to kick in cos i had a few good days this week but yesterday and today i feel really down and emotional
karl is at work on 12hours days this weekend so i dont think that helps as he is normally here to help with the kids as ne normally works nights so it could just be that i havent had my day off but i just want to go back to bed and i cant x
He doesnt really understand how i feel which doesnt help
Av been on my tabs for about 4 weeks now and yes there is a diffrence in me but not as much as i thought they would be if that makes sence

 

[pinkmummy]

Yeah I totally know what you mean hun. It may mean that you need to have more tablets or a different set. Thats what the doctor told me.

I must admit it is alot easier when your OH understands. One thing I did was wrote him a big letter explaining all my feelings to him instead of talking and thats how he got to realise everything that was going on.

I still have days where I want to go back to bed or just don't want to get up There are still some days I cry for OH not to go to work But hopefully it will get better hun xx

 

[ALY]

The doc wants me to stay on them for another 4 weeks to see if they make any diffrence x i really hope they do cos karl doesnt no if he can talk to me or not without me bitting his head off
Am so pleased that your medication is working for you hun

Thanks Shifter.

OH had the kids most of the day yesterday and when he got into bed last night he was in a right mood and has been all morning. I think its because the kids were playing up but I've told him its not easy all the things he expected me to do and I think he is getting a better understanding now. I always thought he understood but he still expected the house to be clean, the washing to be done, his tea to be ready when he gets in from work and I think yesterday reality hit and he realised it isn't easy!

Aly hun as Serina said its not good to drink but it is nice to unwind every now and then xxx

 

[ALY]

I no its not good to drink to forget but i was feeling so low yesterday i tho it would help
And guess wat it didnt and i feel even worse this morning
I just want to be the confiedent me instead of feeling low and useless

How is everyone else this morning x
