No feelings.Emotions are numb.Days feel like weeks and all I want to do is sleep. I now have a regime of meds at 7.00am,2.00pm and 10.00pm. I'm kept in a perpetual state of stasis. What use am I as a Mother? Sarah has said I must go to my bedroom when her friends are around. She doesn't like me sleeping on the sofa.
I want to run.Just open the front door and walk out into the rain.
I promised myself after the last time in the clinic that I would never go there again. I don't know how that failed. I should be dead. Why aren't I dead? I feel dead to all extent and purposes. Will this nightmare ever end?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Accept yourself as you are; where you are.
This too shall pass.
Tell your daughter you will be over it soon and that you appreciate her patience, in the meantime.
Pretend you are a Queen and that you can choose to sleep all you want. Pretend you live a life of luxury.
Accept yourself as you are.
"All is well."
And whoever is pressuring you - tell them to just get off your back. Tell them, "Lay off. I am processing my life right now. thanks for the support."

Lots love and cherish you sweetheart, when I get very bad, my hubby tells me to live for him, even if it is crap, even if I yell or cry or walk around like a zombie, he says if I love him, I should live for him. I've done it, and it sucks at the time, then I start to feel better and I feel so proud that I did it, I got through and I feel great that I did it for him.
Please just keep swimming and talking. You can only go forwards.
Enough about me. Don't give up, just keep going no matter what. I usually sit in my chair afraid to move staring at the TV. I hate life that way but I don't have a fucking choice.
Practice some of the Primal Scream as you see fit! Do it in front of your kids friends, I am sure that would be easy to live down.
I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this, and it must be difficult being a mom. You must try not to feel like you're being a 'bad mom'. After all, if you were resting on the sofa with a physical illness, would anybody think you were being a bad mom?
Hope this phase passes for you sooner than soon, as i always say. And as others are saying, do see yr pdoc as soon as you can. Maybe your meds just need adjusting.... Take care of yrself.
