My mood has plummeted, I've really crashed hard in the last 24hrs. I can't stop crying and I just feel so terribly low. I think respite is no longer an option as now they won't accept me because I'm too depressed.

Hello @Queenie xx
'this too shall pass' has become my motto.-- this is my mum`s saying too
what kind of dogs do you have and what are their names xx
That kind of shocked me -- I can see why it shocked you my friend
as for me being a wife , I find I have to try not to be over protective of my husband who has MI xx

We have 3 dogs. Penny a foxie x chihuahua, Demi a cattle x kelpie and Suzie who's a bit of everything and has fur like velcro (everything sticks to it).
I think the game plan is now to get me stabilised and then it's off to respite hopefully.
I just have to remember as bad as I feel now, it'll pass eventually. It usually does.

I had to put my needs on the back foot @Kurra and look after my gf after she took ill with a tummy bug.
Tomorrow I see my psychologist again so I will lay all my cards on the table then. I just hope I don't fall to pieces as I am meant to be going to the cricket tomorrow evening with my gf (if she's well enough).
Thankfully she has backed down regarding respite, she admitted her BPD came into her response as she thought I was using the idea as an excuse to leave her permanently (which never entered my mind).
I still feel really low, but I'm making an effort to look okay. I just hope I don't put on my usual 'mask' in front of my psychologist and lead her to believe I am doing well. I did that for most of last year and it lead to me seeing her less often than I would like because I'm not seen as in distress.
