Nouse

I am sorry the appointment was cancelled but it must have been a big emergency for it to be cancelled/rescheduled.

Glad hubby is home. Perhaps you need to start opening up to him about what is going on for you in regards to feeling like you are going down a hole with no bars to grip. The poor man thinks you are coping well and you are pretending it is going hunky dory. I don't mean to be hard on you but hubby needs to know the facts so he can try and help you/get the kids sorted out to have some time with you to discuss things. Communication - open and honest - is very important and you need to include hubby in your treatment plan/progress. Take him with you to your psychiatrist on Monday - it opened my partner's eyes about my illnesses.

Be strong and know hubby is home for the weekend so you are not alone and you will get through the weekend and Monday to see your psychiatrist.

Go Nouse!!!

Nouse,

I know what that hole is like girl ,i have had that slide a lot and hit the bottom and sat there lost for quite awhile. I am here girl, reach your hand out and grab me, i wont let you fall. Hold onto me till Mon arvo girl, you should already have my msn details to contact me. Im not the Dr you need, just a hand to hold to help you through.
All you have to do is reach out. Talk to your hubby mate, we are all human and not perfect. If he loves you, he will understand. I am here if you want me Nouse.
Take Care,
Love les xxxx

Hang in there Nouse, and please talk to hubby.

Even if you just say you're not feeling good - I'm sure he can tell anyway.

Take the kids to a park/somewhere - you go to, and just watch their smiles..

You can do it.

And as mentioned please take him along at some stage - not Monday if you don't want - work it out with your psychiatrist. Hubby doesn't need to be there all the time, but I'm sure would love to know what the plan is, and what he can do - sometimes we need to know there are times when we need to just shut-up, do nothing, and hold you in our arms.

Take care, be as strong as you can be, and you're not alone.

Hiya Nouse,

I can well relate to your dilema and especially the issue of not telling hubby yoou have sunk down. I would love to tell you just to talk to him but I know you cant it isjust too hard.

Can I suggest getting busy as busy as you can be, clean out a cupboard, play a boardgame with the kids.\
Anything to distract you and make time pass.

Obbiously you feel the psychiatrist is going to "fix " you on MOnday at 3pm, but you know this is not so.It will take time

Is there a friend, relative anyone?

Can you see a GP will this help?

Perhaps you need the mental health team locally if it gets too bad.

No one wants you gone, least nt your kids and hubby I expect.

You should use lifeline everyday if you need to to just get through.


Please take care of yourself and I feel so helpless for you in this urgent time of need.

Be strong and hang on


All the verybest heartfelt wishes to you

Liz
