Hey LL
I truly do know that it's easier said than done, but try to rationalise what you're thinking.
I used to talk myself down from thoughts - along the lines of, right my period is due so my hormones are everywhere and therefore the thoughts are not the real me or Work has been shite because of X/Y/Z which is making me feel crap. Sometimes knowing what it was and telling myself what the trigger had been worked. It didn't get rid of the thoughts but it helped me to deal with them.
We're here for you lovely - if you need to contact any of us, our numbers are in the moderators section for you xxx

Moving house is one of the top most stressful things you can do so no wonder you are feeling so down. You have done the hardest bit now and got through it in one piece so you should be well proud of yourself.....
Hope you are doing ok today - saw your FB status too. Thinking of you.

Hi
Sending you huge hugs. You have been through so much dont' be suprised if it takes its toll and you feel crap for a bit. You've split up with oh, moved house and become single mum - that's so much stress for anyone.
Do you have anyone to talk to? Can you go out for a drink and a breather just to offload?
Here for you!
monica

Hi aLL
At work and have sneaked on here!!! Cried myself to sleep last for hours and only ended up with 5 hours sleep and had another shite day at work. I keep thinking i am just going to lose the plot one of these days and i have been so stressed i dont know how people at work have put up with me!
I need to start planning things to start rebuilding my life but dont ever seem to have a minute to sit down and do anything with working full time now. I am really tired and i know that is not helping matters.
I have started taking the st johns wort and really hoping that helps to pick me up soon otherwise i will be back at the doctors which i dont want.
I do feel like a complete failure at everything and nothing ever seems to go right. I feel i cant do my job as i seem to struggle with the level of stress these days and work has been the only thing i have ever felt good at and given me a lift.
I feel like i standing on the edge of the cliff and any minute could fall and needing someone or something to pull me back and 'save' me. Dont know that it makes any sense but i do feel i am on the edge of holding it all together.
Thanks for everyones support though as you have really helped me.
LL XX

hi
you rae not a failure! The opposite in fact. you assessed your marriage and did something about it. you've found somewhere to live and set up a home for you and your little one in a short space of time.
no one on this planet could do what you've done and feel on the top fo the world; dont' forget you have a stress ful job and gone full time and have anothe rfull time job to deal with when you get home. could try and get a weeks sicl leave just to get your head round stuff? might be worth talkingto your dr.
why dont you write down ohere things you have to get sorted. girls on here are dynamic and full of good ideas.
love
,monica

Hi LL,
Oh sweetheart, no way on this planet earth are you a failure!!!!!!! As Monica has just pointed out, look at all the amazing things that you have achieved in just a few short weeks. It is not at all surprising that you are now feeling exhausted and at the end of a cliff top, but you will not fall over it. As Monica has suggested, it may be worth speaking with your GP, and getting signed off if you can, even if just for a few days respite.
Sending you huge amounts of love and strength,
Chica xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hey LL Good to hear from you, was worried. We have had similar experiences with our PNI. Last time,a nd whilst it is great for some, citalopram made me suicidal and as soon as I came off it, like you, then I was able to see clearer. This time I just took St John's wort and whilst I have been very low at times and extremely anxious, I have never been depressed (my counsellor tested me every time). I wonder if that is why - because of the st johns wort??? Give it a whirl, it hurts nothing but just check packets of stuff like headache tablets because some dont mix with it, like my migriane tablets imigran. Also give everything time, anyone would be incredibly pissed off after all you have been through. A separation is one the most stressful life events, but everything will fall into a nice place when its time Keep talking. Cokey xx

Hope you are doing ok this week and work isn't wearing you out too much. The other ladies are right hun, you are very strong and have been through so much lately so no wonder you are feeling a bit run down. Try and get some me time (easier said than done I know) and take stock of everything and be proud of what you have achieved!

Hi Ladies
I am back on yeh!!!! Have finally got my computer at home so i can chat to my hearts content and it will make such a difference to me!
Well after a hell of a few weeks that i nearly hit rock bottom i have managed to come back up again! I have been taking st johns wort but dont think it is all that. I have decided to make some changes in my life and i am starting to embrace this single life lol. My plans are:
1. lose weight lol 2. eat healthy lol 3. do exercise lol
so all in all the usual stuff when you split up lol. Joined weight watchers on wednesday and feeling good on it so hope there will be a loss when i go next week. I went for a swim this morning and did 64 lengths so was pleased and have been eating healthy so managed all my targets this week lol.
My therapy ends next week which will be strange as i have been going every week since september but it has changed my life!
Been working full time now - done two weeks of it and good it is hard work!!! Enjoying it though but it is the hardest job i have ever done and pushing me every day!
Other than that everything seems to be going ok for a change (prob cause i am not on lol) My ex has joined match.com but strangely i wasnt upset and even took a photo of him to put on lol. I am looking forward to some dates lol, treat them mean keep them keen??? not sure thats me but i am certainly going to play hard to get!
Anyway hope everyone is ok and thank you all for the support you have given me over the last couple of months as it has helped more than you will ever realise.
Take care
Littlelotty xx
