Darkness looms overhead as i struggle to find the stregnth to keep going at least for my childrens sake. I feel guilty even contemplating the things i am when my babies are sleeping in the next rooms. I wanted so bad to create a happy family life for them but instead i stuff everything up as usual so i wonder if theyd be better without the burden of a screwed up mother. i know i have probably said similar things before & i apologise for being repititive but it is an ongoing battle for me that i have no idea how to fix or cope with or whatever. Nothing ever gets any better in my life. Anytime theres a slight glimpse of improvement something happens, just one problem after another & ive just had enough. Its like if someone was to start piling bricks on your shoulders, more and more and more, eventually your going to come crashing down. this is me & i have little stregnth to get back up so it can start again nor can i think of many reasons to want to. perhaps my earlier statement was wrong, maybe i do know what i need to do, i cant see any other options. Perhaps there will be light through the other side of my darkness...

or maybe im just talking shit & u should just ignore me like everybody else does

I can understand how you feel... but i argue with you ... you did something right... you had two beautiful babies ... and you love them... so screwed up or not... you do love your babies... and they know that... sometimes it takes someone outside of your life to get some perspective and some help... maybe talk to psychiatrist or GP or psychologist ... get them to give you some feedback... maybe try to find one thing a day that worked out... like you fed the kids today... or i went shopping today... or i did the washing... or i got out of bed today... find a positive...

it is just the little things we overlook that make a difference... that is what they tell me... try it and see if it works...

take care

Hellhole you did some thing right today, you wrote down how you are feeling.Sure you have young children and a house to look after but what do you have just for you.Can you go out for a coffee, or get some special time for you.Maybe some of the mums on here could arrange with you a special time for all just to have a chat some time during the day , just some thing to break your routeen.TC

You have done a wonderful thing twice, had babies and you love them with your life. As you get out of the darkness I am sure you can create a happy home for all of you. You are not writing shite, you are being honest about things and it is better to be that than uncaring.

Go Girl!!!

Go HH!!!

Helo Hellhole,

I dont know if I have commented on your diary before, if not Hi I am Liz and I hear you very loud and clear. You are inpan and looking for a solution to let you keep living your life and to be there for your children.

I dont know your circumstances but you sound tired of the lot, one thing then another. I can certainly relate to that.

Are you seeing a Dr, psychiatrist or counseller psychologist? Are you on medicaiton? What sort of support do you have You do not need to feel this way there is help. If you have help then best let them know how you feel today, if not then try and getto a GP to start the process of getting things back in your own controll.

I hear you...many others will too

Please take care


Liz
