Re: rough time
it really is a sucky situation @Snowie its hard for others to understand unless they experience it themselves. i know your here for me 
SH is like an addiction, it can be easy to start up but once you start it feels almost impossible to quit. maybe some new strategies would be helpful?
i know its late for you and i know your rather tired so am happy to keep talking about this or we can talk about something else for tonight. whatever will be better for you im more than ok with

Re: rough time
It is an addiction that I can't control...
I don't want to sleep tonight. Too many nightmares last night and I don't want them again tonight. I have put off having my night meds because I know they will pull me under and I will be powerless to stop what comes next.
Have you got any plans for tomorrow?

Re: rough time
in time i think you will, you started to until all the stuff come back again @Snowie
i wont be asleep for a while yet so you can stay up and talk to me as long as you need/want
i have to be up abit earlier, go feed horses and possibly get one or 2 other chores done while im there but then have to pick kids up, take one to somewhere else and occupy the other until mums home. hopefully not to late so that i can get the chores that i dont get done in the morning i can do in the arvo.
what have you got on?

Re: rough time
@Zoe7 Just wanted to say how much I loved what you articulated here, I think a few of us need to think and do a lot of the things you suggested.
Hugs @outlander I hope you’re feeling a little bit more settled.
I don’t know how your life works, but I relate to your feelings and feel the same way when I’m unemployed. Is there any chance of you dropping a few of the family responsibilities and picking up some work? I find working gives me a sense of pride and purpose. Really helps me break the cycle of depression. Just a thought.

Re: rough time
@outlanderI am hoping so or just hope it doesn't go too far.
You have got a busy day on tomorrow. We have no sport on tomorrow so will be a bit of a rest day in between washing and food shopping.
I would talk to you all night hun but you need some sleep before tomorrow!!

Re: rough time
hi @Former-Member
yeah im ok for now. i cant really do much else so sitting with things will have to do.
im currently working but my work is from home. i am a carer for pop and with him becoming abit more of a fall risk than usual i need to hang around abit more as well. i was working a second job but that has reduced quite alot to every second/third day just for around an hr and a half. it helps sometimes as long as i get to work and not have to drag the kids around everywhere with me
