Feeling really horrible again.

Hi Lou. I've been with people all day and daughter only went out at 8.30 - just feel sooooo sad and down. Scared too as vit b12 deficient and legs are awful at the mo, also had a funny turn Monday eve and lost consciousness for a short time - so scared gonna happen again!!!

Oh gosh that's awful and to lose consciousness is worrying, do you think you should call 111 and ask for help if you feel so poorly, are you in the UK ? You might need to be seen by a doctor just to be on the safe side x

Sorry you feel this way Mabel. What usually cheers you up a little, a mug of hot chocolate, warm bubble bath, read your book. Just do one little thing for yourself. Don't beat yourself up about not going out with the girls, I often back out at the last minute, much prefer to stay at home. Next time prepare your outfit, transport home so you have less to feel anxious over.

For now, cry till no tears left, have hugs from us, have a warm comforting drink and tomorrow is another day xx

No Lou no doctor required but thanks for your concern. I'm in the uk Just need to get a grip of myself I think x

Might go get a hot chocolate - sounds like a good idea xx

It is awful what our hormones do to us, it's like being a teenager again. I cried a lot in my teens, I just feel detached from the world at the moment. I'm scared if I let myself cry I'd never stop.

I understand - it's just so awful isn't it, I truly sympathise I really do. Im so glad you had a chat with hubby , do you feel a bit more reassured now ? sometimes we just need to hear a comforting voice telling us everything's gonna be ok when we're alone and feel so bad going through such horrid things and it's always so much worse at night and when we're on our own. I get that, im always worse and full of dread when I'm alone and at night it's the worse time, just remember it will soon be morning and things WILL feel brighter , is your daughter home this evening ? Like the other lady suggested maybe a nice hot milky drink and maybe a good book if you like reading - ive been reading some nice books lately it does help you focus your mind on other things it really does, it's a little escape from reality for a while xx

Both daughters will b in later and I'm led watching a film with my beautiful doggie snuggled up to me. just had a downer for some reason and chat with my amazing hubby helped loads as so do all your kind words and advice. Thanks so much xx

Ah how lovely, what dog do you have ? I had dogs for over 20 years when my girls were growing up, I miss them - we had boarder collies and they always slept on the bed with me ! I always found them such a comfort through bad times, always so warm cosy and loving to cuddle up too, they always know when we're sad don't they, they love you even more. Glad your girls will be in later too xx

She's a jack Russell and a very spoilt one!! Loved and adored by all and totally ruined. Yeap they are a great comfort and help and so loving. She's a wee star and such a character

You not going to get another dog? X

Try to sleep well and relax, try not to worry about things too much. Cuddle up with your lovely doggie and let him comfort you. Going bed now was awake most of last night, tired now. Thinking of you, everything's gonna be ok honest , Nite nite and hope you feel better in the morning xx????

Thanks Lou you've been so lovely. Night night sleep tight too xx

No not yet, maybe when I retire I might think about it again. I want to be home all day before I get another one I think. Jack Russell's are so cute and squidgy arnt they. I was so upset when our last collie passed away it took me so long to recover it hurt so much, she was only 6 but she was the runt of the litter and had a problem with her liver, she couldn't digest food properly and was on so much medication all her little life. When she was a puppy she kept having funny turns and they discovered a problem and they said it would be kinder to have her put to sleep, I said NO not if I can help her, she had six good happy years and in no pain - she passed away in her sleep peacefully but I have lots of happy memories of her, maybe one day I'll think about it again x

Awe Lou that's lovely and so kind of you. Bet it was awful when she went but you gave her a fantastic chance and a wonderful life. Thank you so much for last night - been out with my girls today to the beach and for coffee and how sat in kitchen watching eldest make a chicken pie for tea - pouring rain and soooo windy!!! Hope you've had a lovely day xx

Thanks so much her name was Dizz ! Real name Daisy but she was dizzy so that is what stuck ! Then before her along with all the other collies we had a rescue Doberman who's name was Boyo, I was friends with the lady who ran the rescue centre and she rang me one day and told me about him, I couldn't resist - he'd been so badly treated you wouldn't believe you really wouldn't, first he went to Battersea as he was found in London left in a yard all day and night the neighbours reported it - then she took him to Brighton and I collected him from there. He was adorable and 3 when I took him, now he really was my best friend ever, I loved him so much it hurt - he went everywhere with me, jumped in the car and off we went, came shopping with me, work, everywhere. He passed away from kidney cancer at 9, I cried for weeks and weeks - terrible proper heartbreak........Anyway so glad you had such a lovely day with your girls and you feel better, the sea air does you a world of good doesn't it - I used to take Boyo to the beach , he loved it in the sea ! Last night fell asleep on sofa and woke around 3am freezing cold, been awake since, im ok tho....... How's your little doggie today and do you feel better yourself this evening ? xx

Oh Lou what a lovely story and how kind you are. We had 2 other Jack Russell's - Itchy was 15 when he died of old age and Mable was only 9 and had liver cancer - so so sad - still got my little poppet though who is my shadow. How you feeling today? Hope you manage some sleep. Im watching the hobbit with my daughter and of course doggie. Drs in the morn so hoping to get answers to my b12 issues - sure will make me so much better!!! Xx

Hi Mable, not a good nights sleep no ! Never is, anxiety sky high and same old worries - Gonna ring the number ive got from doctor for some counselling , can't go on like this. Good luck with the doctor, please let me know how you get on and Hope you slept better too and feel not so low. Poor us, horrid being female isn't it. Poor Itchy and Mable, such lovely names too, give your little friend a hug from me ! xx

Hi Lou,  my name is actually Carolyn - used mable as when joined the site all the Carolyn's were used up!!
