      It's beginning to melt here still plenty on the mountains. Very quiet night outside apart from an owl competing with my crying.

      I just get so fed up with these feelings, I haven't been too bad for about two weeks but it seems to be building again.

      I've got diazepam, zopiclone, tramadol and dihydrocodine in the cupboard, would make a good cocktail. So that's not a good idea. My son is on breakfast local radio tomorrow morning so will be in bed by now. Will just have to kick myself up the backside back into some form of sanity I suppose. Until the next time.

      Noooo tempting as it is.... And I Am very tempted sometimes, don't.... It will cause so much more pain for your son and loved ones.... I just think of my brother and have to stay strong for him too.  I was supposed to go out with a friend tonight but cancelled... Could not bear the thought of going out being cheerful but I guess we must force ourselves... My dad and your husband would be devastated to see us like this. Sleeping pill for me now 😉 hope you get some sleep xxx

    Hi Tina, please don't despair , I was like you last week, but I ended up at my doctors who has referred me to see a psychiatrist as he said I need help with emotional support, I'm not on citalopram cos I reacted to it, I'm on fluoxetine now, seems better, please see you doc, you need to talk to someone. Or ask police station for crisis number for medical help. Please, you don't have to suffer alone x good luck Hun x

      I've got an appointment for an assessment on the 23, appointment with my councillor Tuesday, Dr Thursday, don't want to involve the police as they were looking for me two weeks ago. Feel as if I'm wasting their time. I'll be ok, thanks for caring everyone. X

    Please take care. I heard a woman yesterday saying that she tries to just think of the present and staying calm and she meditates by letting the thoughts in and imagining each thought being popped on a leaf and floating on a gentle stream away from her. Try to just stay with the now. If you get a chance to read the book 'the power of now' please do. I don't know why but it is so peaceful. My dad died recently and my brother just 4 years ago. Sometimes I find every day almost taking my soul away. And then I just have a good cry and try and see what would be useful for others right now. Perhaps you don't know how much you can give and how much others may just need a little bit of you to say thank you for. I do hope you feel better. Sending you a hug because we all need one every now and again xx

    Oh Tina bless you

    Self harm is a symptom of anxiety ... the feeling will go away eventually xx  It's not very nice and know how powerful the feelings can be.  Maybe when it gets tough, go outside and walk around.  I don't know how fit you are, but some people jog to burn off their anxiety.

    I know you don't want to talk with your son you said once, but (boot on other foot) when my son told me last year he was suffering from depression, I was so glad he did.  Sharing it with family members is a great help.  Families help each other out, and are there for each other.  I know you don't want to worry him, but I'd have wanted to have knows if my mum had been ill.

    Phoning the police for the Crisis number isn't wasting their time at all.  They deal with many mental health issues - I phoned them last year in a crisis and they were great.  I've now got the local Crisis number.

    Can you talk to someone in the church?  Get even involved in the church or any groups ...... it would be good if there's something that could capture an interest ..... it's a beginning.

    You do need to speak to someone at times like this though ....... Samaritans too.

    Big hugs to you Tina xx

      Hi I know it's late, been talking to the Samaritans about 20 mins ago, now in bed, sore arm but ok, I just hate feeling like this it's not me, which makes it even harder. X

      It's ok, I'm up watching a film :-)

      Glad you talked to the Samaritans .... a voice at the other end of the line is very soothing.  Have you hurt yourself .... sore arm?  I know, it's awful feeling as you do ...... it's not you I know ...... it's like a pressure that builds up and the feeling the need to release it.  Try and post on here before ..... I know easier said than done.

      Try and rest tonight.

      Night night lovely lady xxxx
