Hate this feeling

Started heading back down in the pit a few months ago, meds got adjusted and things levelled out. 2 weeks ago my Great Aunt died and i started to slip again, but managed to hold on. Had the funeral on Tuesday, and been going down since. Managed to cope at work on Wednesday, been day off today and Jane been around, but feeling really low, can't be bothered to do anything, just feeling numb. Wanting to cry all the time.
Just asked Jane what time she had to go to work and tonight she has a meeting so has to go in earlier than normal, and promptly burst into tears.
Dreading tonight, it will be the first night on my own since the funeral.
I hate this feeling, have been clear of the feeling for some time, but it always comes back. Just wish I could get rid of it forever.

Sorry hun, it just means that I agree with sandies post and wanted to keep your thread up to the top so that others could help you.

Try not to be so hard on yourself though hun, like sandie said.. you are greiving and you are allowed to be feeling this way.x

Thanks for that, new about `bump' should have realised that `flick' was something similar, quite new on here so still learning

I am sorry you are so low, it's an awful place to be and grief takes it's own sweet time and choices it's place too. I send you online lovies and suggest you do something that feels good just for you, like get a long hot bubble bath with a good book or a massage.

I didnt know what bump or flick was until just now, thanks!

    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...
