Group 7-day waking average?

[eggyg]

Morning all, 5.1 here. Friday already! Makes no difference really now, as I’m retired, but Friday night has always meant getting some nice cheese in, and opening a bottle of red with our evening meal.

That’s our Saturday night as I always worked Saturdays. We also only have a cooked breakfast on a Sunday even though we could have it any day now. Routine is a hard habit to break.

Thanks all. I can just see myself on that slippery slope into huge weight gain and high hba1c again and theys the last thing I want now I have Eris.

She is doing very well. She sleeps in long stretches through the night from 11pm till 4 or 5am usually although sometimes can go longer. She usually goes back down after a feed too. We’ve had some reflux issues but she’s on anti reflux milk and is much more settled on it now. She’s just started to practice her proper smiles and is adorable with them!

Here’s some pictures...I’ve posted them elsewhere on the forum so you’ve probably seen them but for those that haven’t...

@Bloden I've never been this bad before so I dont know what to do as I've never been through it

@SueEK by the time hes home from work and whatever he just wants to sit down and relax which is understandable and I ain't ready to go out, I cant put myself through the shaking at the thought of it so leaving isn't possible, it's so difficult as I feel very lonely, I havent had much to do with Bruce since March so it feels like we aren't much connected just now

I’m really sorry to hear that Kaylz. Do you have or can you arrange to speak to a counsellor who may be able to help. It’s such a tricky situation isn’t it with your feeling so isolated - wish I could help but know I can’t. All I can say is that we are all here for you at any time. If you ever feel like you need a chat in the phone I am happy to give you my number xx

She is absolutely beautiful. Congratulations. Make the most of her, they soon grow up. Mine are now in their 20's. How did that happen?!!

Sorry you're feeling like this Kaylz. As SueEK asks, is there a counsellor who could help you through this? Do you have IAPT near where you live? Its a free counselling service you can refer yourself to and they do assessments etc over the phone and in person. I know someone who has used this service and they found it helpful. Sorry if i've suggested something thats not right for you but i hope you feel well enough soon.

@SueEK our local mental health facility was closed down a couple of years so there is literally no help available locally and it led to the suicide of a friends daughter too

@freesia seems the IAPT service is only available in England

Anything local through MIND, maybe they could suggest somewhere else?x

Have ypu looked at SAMH to see if they can help at all? (Scottish Association for Mental Health)

Going through the GP here takes ages, don't know what its like where you live. What about Samaritans? Do you think they might have lists of local places to help? Its awful that the charities don't cover all of the UK. I'm know everyone on here is supportive so please make sure you message whenever you feel low xx

There is a place in the next town but the site doesn't give much information, I don't get much time during the day to call places what between washing my hands, the sink and everything else so it's difficult to find time when I have to do everything to suit everyone else's timescale, the time I get up is based on when others want to eat throughout the day so nothing I do is for myself xx

Aw, gooooorgeous @merrymunky! 🙂 🙂🙂

You seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place. I agree with the suggestion that you call the Samaritans as they may possibly be able to point you in a direction you haven’t considered. Such a shame that your local MH team have closed down. I really hope you can access some help from somewhere x

But you also need to take care of you. I don't know your circumstances but i do know that you need to take care of yourself first x
