Thumbs down Sooo Fed up

I want a drink, I want a job, I want to have a night out with my husband away from the children. I am so miserable right now. Husband has gone out - which is fine - youngest asleep, middle watching tv, eldest not living here anymore but I miss her like crazy.

Skint, hacked off. Had enough.

sorry

Hi Coolmummy,

Can you take a break yourself and go out for a walk, just get a change of scenery for a few minutes?

I hope you feel better.

I like the bubble bath & ice cream combo that Carol suggested. Great idea. Hot bath. Cold ice cream. Check in Coolmummy. You've been doing great. Down flush it down the toilet over a bad day!

Hope you feeling better to-day. I start each day with an affirmation, looking in the mirror and saying I feel good and look stunning(even if I don't!), put some upbeat music on and decide that I will be as happy as I want to be to-day and get on with my day. If I fall down, am sad or fed-up, I say, that's ok too, to-morrow is another day. Chin up!

I feel like crap myself. 3 hrs sleep and gotta go to work.
I will be ok when I get my dunkin donuts hazelnut coffee.
AWAY from these loud kids. It's only 8:30 and I have a pounding headache already.

Hang in there cool mummy. You need to find a way to do something for yourself. Anything...go to a movie, visit a friend, go to the library, take a walk. Hope you have a better day today.

Hi all, thanks for your lovely uplifting messages :ghug3 I feel a lot better today. I remembered, when i woke up feeling pretty good again, why i have stopped killing myself with drink!! It's just a very tough time for my family at the moment, and sometimes it gets too much to take. I'm also eating far too many sweeties ('just buying these for the kids darling...'. chomp chomp chomp in the cupboard...) So have to stop that, I'm getting fed up with holding my tummy in...

Anyway, it's a lovely warm sunny day today, my children are beautiful and I have thousands of things to be thankful for.

love
sas

Be good to yourself, CoolMummy! You are doing very well. Just take it one day at a time. Don't let the stress get you down or talk you into a drink. YOu don't want to go there!

love ya!

CM....i have days like that..too many lately and something someone said really helped me and i'm gonna act on it now....play neat music!!!!! ok right now I can't dance around the house and stuff...but i can dance in my head!!!!

I have forgotten the things i need to do to start the morning right..people talk alot about meditation and stuff and those are improtant..but i need tothen move on to the music the laughter..the enjoying the dogs, being sure i get dressed, take my meds and brush teath and was hair...even if i'm not going anywhere...and for me it's funny cause getting all dressed up in a cute little outfit with my FM pumps always starts the day out nice!!!!

It hard with a family around...but jam in everybit of neat you stuff you can in the first couple of hours and the rest of the day always goes better for me!

Stay strong a drink does not help, but writing about and bending your knees does ;-) SPEAK TO GOD!

I LOVE your green heels. I have a pair of green suede pumps that I adore. I have almost seriously injured my ankles wearing them on several occassions but never never will I stop wearing them.

Beautiful shoes Amanda...

Great neckline on your outfit...
