Any tips advice ideas?????

[kazzie]

Hi

I dont really know where to start and sorry if this sounds like a woe is I post but really struggling here

I feel awful at the moment.....nothing I can put my finger on just awful

I feel on edge the whole time, burst into tears at the slightest thing.....yesterday dentist cancelled my long awaited appt for next week and I was in floods of tears!!!

Ive been a pig to my husband who is the lovliest person and does all he can to help me!!!

All I want to do is stay in bed and sleep and wallow in self pity which I cant because I have a job to hold down

Nothing makes me laugh anymore just feel like Im stuck in a rut and have the most awful nightmares every night

I dont know why this is but will say whats going on and see if anyone has any ideas

I have to have my last bit of dental treatment just before Xmas now and Im terrified of my teeth breaking before then so Im not eating well at all

Im having a heavy period which Ive not had for ages as I had malnutrition and they stopped this means I have to take meds which can make me feel yuck

My son has just split with his girlfreind and is moping and upset and I hate to see him hurting so bad

I have started (just) to take iron pills again as I suspect my iron levels have dropped

My co worker dosent pull her weight and Im covering a lot of her hours and when she does come in she does nothing

Life seems to be non stop theres always something to do....never do I go home and put my feet up like tonight I have to do food shop on way home

I just feel wrung out and not right and Im now worrying that Im going to be really ill again tho my rational self tells me im not

Im starting to feel a bit anx again too

Dont really know the point in this post but wondered if anyone was the same or had any ideas???

I also suffer a bit from SAD although this has never been diagnosed

I have so much to cram into the lead up to Xmas and I cant even face life

Anyone?????

Luv Kaz x x x

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww my Kazzie.

Your post has made me cry.

I'm sorry you are struggling so much. I know you are a very cheery person and Its hurting me to be here and not up with you to give you lots of cuddles.

I have to say You are a very strong person Ive seen it. You are a true inspiration to everyone.

I'm sure Roger doesnt mind anything, He loves and cares about.

I really wish I could do something to help you. but I do feel useless.

Its only 2 weeks till I see you again and I soooooooo cant wait.

You know where I am if you need anything.

I love you lots always and forever.

Hi Kaz,

Sorry to hear you're having such a horrible time of it at the moment. I know the feeling oh so well, and all I can advise especially when things are so hectic is try and find one positive thing to work with. I find that it slowly helps me out of the dark hole.

Sounds like you are just worn out

You have a lot going on. If you are low on iron you will feel tired. SAD can also be very debilitating at this time of year, as the dark nights have arrived. You're obviously hormonal with the heavy period, which is probably what has made you tearful.

Can your family help more around the home? Could you and your hubby do a weekly shop instead of you doing it every day? How about a take away sometimes so you don't have to cook? Anything so you can give yourself a break and rest up a bit.

aww kazzie you seem to have hit rock bottom.
Just remember that you have so many people on this site who genuinly care and love you. (me included).
Me and my hubby have got a special place that we go to when we are really stressed. That place is a layby where we can see 4 counties from.
We also go to a lake thats nearby and feed the ducks.
You are so lucky to live where you do. Find a special place you and your hubby can go and totally feel calm.
Loads of love and good wishes xxxx

Big hugs for u Kaz seems like ur having it rough

Hormones are playing a huge part in all this - as for being a pig to ur hubby - comes with the territory being female! we've all been there lol

Your son and his gf will soon resolve whatever difficulties they are having

Let xmas come and go its only one day - an expensive one at that plus too damn stressful - I landed myself in hosp last xmas day because of the strain and stresses I put myself through and its just not worth it

So come you - lets see a smile! live by my motto

Always look on the bright side of life - no matter how bleak things are - there is a bright side!

Take Care - speak to ya soon

Luv Dee xxxx

Hello Kazzie,

Sorry you are feeling so low. It isn't surprising really since you have had a huge amount of stress to cope with lately - these stresses and strains do take their toll. Even when we do recognise the signs of stress it is difficult to deal with because life still goes on as usual, and it isn't easy to take 'time out'. Whenever I feel really stressed I just make myself slow down; i try not to let my mind race ahead thinking of all the things which have to be done, and remind myself there are some things which are beyond my control, and that bad situations usually have a way of working their way out, and it often works out better than I think.

Hopefully you will see some improvement when you stop taking the medication, and you will feel better able to cope with everything else.

I am sending you a big hug, and hope you will be feeling better soon
