    Not a good week

    Well, so much for the half term week being a nice, relaxing break.

    I've had a horrible week and feel very, very, VERY fed up :(

    Firstly, my very bestest matey who I work with and socialise with also, has got a new job :(

    I love her to bits and I'm really, really pleased for her. BUT I'm really, really sad for me.

    Secondly, I took my daughter to the doctors on Friday, and he confirmed that she has OCD and that her symptoms are quite severe.

    He has referred her to a psychiatrist and said that it is likely that she will need med's as well :(

    This has made me so sad that I can't put into words how sad I feel. :(:(:(

    Finally, my son has gone to a Halloween fancy dress party tonight. It is quite a "rough" kind of area, but at a girls house who's parents will also be there.

    Anyway, he is dressed as Superman ( I know it's nothing to do with Halloween) and he and his mates wanted to walk through the streets of the crappy area to get to the party.

    Me and hubby have said he can only go if hubby drops him at the party as the streets round there are very rough.

    Son hit the roof and has now gone off to the party without speaking to me.

    So, I'm really sad about that as well :(

    I went for another hypno session on Wednesday but, with all this crap going on, I haven't got a clue whether it has been of any benefit or not.

    I'm not depressed, bit anxious, well quite a lot anxious I suppose.

    But would anyone feel like I am at the moment or is it the anxious/panicky/depressed me overreacting?:(

    I seem to have done nothing but have a big fat lump in my throat for the last few days, and could cry at the drop of a hat [:I]

    Oh well, lets hope that tomorrow is a better day

    Hi Kate

    I'm sorry to hear you have had a bad week. I think anyone would've found it difficult.

    So sorry to hear about your daughter. I can understand why you would be really worried about her. You are already doing all you can to help her and hopefully now she is being referred she will get some help to deal with the OCD.

    Take care of yourself and I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.

    Hi Kate

    Sorry to hear so much has happened whilst you should have been having a nice relaxing week off.

    Of course how you are feeling is natural i would feel just the same as you. You must be gutted about your daughter like any mother would, but please dont blame yourself. Thankfully it has been recognised and she can start treatment to help her as much as she needs.

    That in itself would be upsetting for people who dont suffer anxiety so please dont feel you are over reacting.

    I am sure your son will be fine once he comes home, we all have our fall outs.

    As for your friend leaving work, i would be the same if Barbara left as we get on so well, and it helps when you have someone who can support you when you are not feeling too good.

    I hope you start to feel a bit better soon, but dont forget we are all here to support you.



    Love Sal xxxxx

    Thanks for the support, everyone, and the hug from Dave.

    Forgot to mention that son is stopping the night after the party. He is the only lad staying over, with 8 girls [:O]

    OMG, maybe I should have sent him with a bumper pack of condoms. Last thing I want right now is to become a Grandma [xx(]

    Another thing, one of my cats has gone missing, hasn't been seen for most of the day :(

    Kate :(

    Hi Kate

    I'm sorry about your cat being missing too. I know I would be very worried if one of mine went missing. Everything seems to happen at once sometimes.

    I hope your cat turns up soon.

    Hi Kate,

    So sorry to hear what a bad time of it you have been having latley! You have the done the right thing with your daughter though and she is in the best hands now. Hopefully she can overcome this.

    I would feel exactly the same as you in these situations so don't worry.

    I have had a week off as well but that hasn't gone brillent. I can relate to that big fat lump in the throat very well!! I have now picked up some kind of flu cold bug type thing. Which inhances my anxiety.

    A girl at work who I confide in and am very friendly with is leaving and moving soon. So I don't really have anyone here where I live now. People move on. I know I have myself but it doesn't make it any easier hey mate! So I know exactly how you feel.

    Try not to let it get to you though! It's only normal to feel fed up and anxious when things arn't going well!

    I hope your cat turns up soon as well!

    Take care and I hope you feel better soon!

    Love PIP'S XX XX XX

    Ok, one less thing to worry about. MOLLY'S BACK!!!!!!!

    She turned up this morning, starving hungry, but fine!!

    Thanks everyone for your kindness.

    Pips, my friend at work is the same. I confide in her about everything, she is funny, always there for me and has seen me through all my worst times. I just can't imagine worklife without her.

    Sarah, thanks for your reply. Yes, I am coping with it but still feel like I'm holding it all together by the skin of my teeth.

    Karen, you are SO right. Everything does seem to happen at once [xx(]

    Here's hoping for a better day today

    Thanks again

    Luv Kate xx
