Hi Mummo,
of course you are not weak, but you do sound as if you need to see your doctor, you do sound depressed. Wasn't it your husband who recently had a heart attack? No wonder you feel down, you have probably been very worried for him and forgot to take care of yourself. Please see your doctor and I do hope you feel better soon.
Liz, sorry that you are down too, I felt really sad on Monday when OH was out all day playing golf and I was here on my own, I think it was because we had been to see daughter at the weekend and had all gone out for a meal with the three grandsons for eldest's 21st and it was brought home to me that they are all growing up and away from us. I am OK now realising that we can't unfortunately go back, but we have wonderful memories of them when young and they are fine young men now.
tomorrow we go to see our son and family so that will be nice, youngest grandchild will be 7 on 20th.

Mummo, glad you posted, it is good to get things off your chest and I have felt the way you do, many a time, so please try to keep talking to folk on here and let things out. As you may have noticed by my post earlier, I am a fine one to talk as I haven't been posting but it's good to know there are people here for us and we can share our troubled feelings.
No one thinks the worse of you for opening up.

Hazel, thanks love, hugs back to you cos you have been through a lot lately. Life can only get better for you now.

I have just spent more than half an hour looking for the list of things to do when I go out, now I have made myself late for getting to one shop grrrrr

Afternoon all, was told to look at this thread by y/ caz.
Do l need to see a doctor............. yes l am depressed but with everything going on in my life at the moment is it depression or am l just feeling down, all l want to do at the moment is sleep, cry or just do nothing, hate going out now (haven't even bothered getting dressed for a couple of days), l do feel sick ,l'm usually such a strong person so why am l feeling like this.This is about the 10th time l've written this, then l delete it, l know l need to get it off my chest but once l hit that submit button l will regret posting this (l hate people to think l'm weak), right here goes...............

Hope you are feeling better soon Liz

Happy Birthday to your son for tomoro.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}]for you as you sound as you need them.

Hi all,

been pming people and adding to some threads, but for some reason couldn't add on here, I think maybe cos I feel bad I can't answer everyone, I lose the thread of what I am trying to say and can't respond to everyone.

I am getting a bit low, haven't felt like going far this week but have to go out today, lots of little errands.

Stupid, but I always get sad around this time, it's my son's birthday tomorrow, I will see him for a little while with his cards and pressies, and then drop him off with a friend who is having a bbq for him (if the weather holds otherwise they will have a small party at her house) K and I will spend time with him on Saturday and take him for a meal as well but I get nostalgic about how I used to do parties for him when he was young and how much easier it all was then, at least I suppose that's why I feel this way, I should be joyful at such a time but it always gets to me. The fact that I have another birthday in a couple of weeks gets me down too, I see my life ebbing away and I am not getting my life sorted out. I so wish I could turn back time and do things differently.

Better get going, but I will be ok, and will feel better soon I am sure. O.h. has gout lol, he hasn't been drinking a lot so no idea why except on some stuff he printed out about it, it says mushrooms, and oatmeal can contribute to getting it and he does like mushrooms and eats a lot of them, most meals if he can. I had been encouraging him to add extra porridge oats to his muesli to help his cholesterol problems too. The article also said too much protein isn't good and I have often told him he eats too much protein and not enough carbohydrate so we will see what the blood test says which he had done today, meanwhile he is hobbling about like an old man and taking ibuprofen for the pain.

Take care everyone, I do read this thread and have pmd a few people in response to their posts.

Love
Lizxxxx

I'm not quiet Carole, I was on yesterday!!!

We have just been in to Gloucester and back on the bus, had to get back as PC Doc is coming about 1pm. (Got a minor problem with it). Bought some bits in M&S outlet shop, Boot leg trousers grey light weight winter for £9. Hand wash liquid for £1, Tshirt, £5, camisole top £1 and OH got a lovely long sleeved shirt with matching pullover (sleeveless) Autograph for £9 and a pair of shorts. Looked in the new bedding and curtain shop but they didn't have the sheets I wanted so we went back and got them in Debenham's sale, just cream for the spare bed, Percale. So a good morning.

Thanks Carole,

Hi Pat (((xx))) lets have a hug and let you know we care that you feel low. My oh's mum was 55 when she died of breast cancer, we're not far off that age now. Strange feeling isn't it. My oh's family die young so he gets saying he won't be here much longer. Rubbish!!

Lily I hope you have renewed. We would hate not to be able to talk to you.
How are you? xx

Deanna when my dad had his stroke the dr's told us depression was a common side effect. So I'm not suprised you feel this way. xx

Mary better they found out the two dogs were not suitable before they came to you! Now the two two year olds will be better, as their personality's are known better. How long do you think until you can have them? xx

Liz are you ok? You are very quiet. x

Dutch another quiet one!!! xx

Ann and you ! x

Deanna, could you please come and sort my cupboards,, what a jumble - we've been here about 1 1/2 years and it looks like 40 years accumulation. I need someone to be my manager and say "that's it, you've procrastinated long enough, now get on with it." I don't need a manager badly enough to consider another OH, though. Had enough of that option thanks.
Had the cupboard drywall applied today, tomorrow plastering, then paint another day. When does it end??? No more leaking, thank goodness. No more mould.
sad evening at work, 2 deaths, one very unexpected, plus another about to happen. I feel so sad when family live close by and can't bring themselves to sit with the patient as they fade away. Tonight I even called to ask but instead a staff person will fill in. So,so sad. the job is beginning to get to me emotionally, after 22 years working with the elderly i suppose it's not surprising. Totally realise that different folks deal with the issue differently, but meotional self always has to argue with intellectual self.
I am quite down tonight, tired and drained. not looking for sympathy, it's just the way it is today. Should be better tomorrow, perhaps I'll stop for ice cream on the way home (and I wonder why my tummy is bigger than it used to be)
MiniMary came home yesterday from her 'sewing camp' with a baby quilt she has made, today she came home with a lovely carrier bag she's made. She's thoroughly enjoying the class, only 4 girls, tomorrow she says she is making shorts for herself !! she's having such a good time that I've signed her up for a second week.
BTW, the 2 service dogs didn't work out, but have been replaced with 2 more - the first one was a shedder which won't work and his brother became agressive at age 8 months, towards a child. Now we are expecting 2 apricot colour labradoodles,age 2 y/o, to be named Sandy and Dudley. Photo on FB page on our group site for fundraising.+
Thanks for listening.
Mary

Thanks Ann.

Glos xx

I feel a bit sad today.
My Mum died in 1966 when I was nine years old. She was only 52. She died of a stroke.I'm now older than she was when she died.It's a sad but strange feeling.


Pat

Lily.... get yourself renewed.... NOW.

Goodnight all.
Deanna XXX

XXX ha ha h a

Liz, Mary, Hazel,Caz, Ann, and anyone else whom I have missed.... thank you for all your kindness in trying to make me into a *normal* human being this week. ;-0)

I have had a bad time, I don't mind telling you.. it has been a baddie.
BUT, today I got up and hour earlier than Allan.... an unheard of situation believe me, and sat and watched the news alone.
It was not what sorted me, but I just felt better by the time Allan got up and made the coffee.
After breakfast I decided to clear out the larder.... what a mess... and threw out food which Allan had stored in there for 100 years!

Why do men not understand *stock rotation*?
However, my cupboard looks beautiful.
If I feel as good tomorrow, I may do the pot cupboard, but I doubt it.
Tomorrow is food shopping day, so I will perhaps hoover etc before they get home.

Well, this AMAZING WOMAN is off to have her tea now... ha ha ha
Look after yourselves and I will be back.

It may be the way I am feeling, but you all seem a little 'lighter' today???

Lots of love to all,
Deanna XXXX
