Feeling slightly more positive, but the sleep situation isn't getting any better. They've taken me off Zopiclone and are giving me Phenergan instead. Which is even less effective; I had very disturbed sleep last night. I overslept this morning so have been rushing around like a headless chicken getting the kids to pre-school. Poor little Oskar has a temperature and doesn't look well, so I'm worrying about him. Put him to bed for now, he looks shattered. Bless him. But the tiredness is getting to me; I just can't move, it feels like. The washing is piling up, the kitchen aznd lounge are dirty and are a tip. No fun for anyone.

Sleeping pills aren't quite doing the trick yet - don't make me drowsy til the next morning!

Lovely - just when you want to be 'with it'. Fingers crossed they do the job soon

Hi Sian - thank you for looking in and thinking of me. Kind of up and down, really; at the moment I'm in an up swing, which is eventually brought down by me worrying about the next down swing. The kids are wonderful, and my husband is wonderful. I'm the problem; no appetite really, still knackered and not sleeping, shoulders and back still killing me because they're so tense. I have some herbal treatments now that I am going to try, as the traditional methods aren't working. And I have an appointment wih the psychiatrist on the 25th, as the Home Treatment Team are next to useless, and don't even believe that I'm ill.

I use Bach's rescue remedy for when I'm anxious and stressed. A friend of mine swears by st John's wort as a natural anti-depressent and plenty of the people on my course in work use herbal sleeping tablets.
Anything is worth a try. I'm sorry that you're feeling crap. I know there's nothing worse than the down swing, except maybe worrying about it

Hi Bagpuss
Know the feeling. My house is in desperate need of the hoover and mop but the little one has other ideas for how I am gonna spend my time today. I just have to remember that it is just house work and it is not important. I too would love 5 mins to myself but little girl has started crying whenever I walk away from her - must be that clingy stage. Perhaps you can get a sleep later on? Having a rest is more important that sorting the kitchen out. As my other half pointed out yesterday, for things to work the carer has to be cared for!
Hope your day improves.

Thinking of you x x x
I can relate to it though, I'd be just laying on the setee or faffing on the PC whilst the house was wrecked by my toddler and I'd have done NOTHING all day when hubby came home from work. Do you think this is a blip? Or maybe just part of recovery as now you are seeing it and getting frustrated at it??
Take care x
