having a bad day but as you all know the good days arent great. just feel so hopeless and helpless. son has decided to stop taking medecine which he is on because other meds didnt work, have rung hsop twice this morning and a doctor involved with my son. there is nowhere to go and get answers, that is assuming there are any. battle constantly in my head how i am supposed to cope. nothing ever seems to get better.yet another low day when we just have to carry on when we dont want to. is this how its always going to be. sorry but as nowhere to go with this thought writing it here might make me feel better. who knows?

Yes hopeless days come to us all and are very hard to deal with. I have spoken to you in chat and hope to do so again sometime soon. Putting it in writing sometimes does help - knowing that others understand.
Hoping a little sunshine breaks through the clouds to brighten your day a wee bit.
Kind regards - Mag

Wed 23 Jan 2008 13:53we all have bad days and believe me i know where you are coming from on that one!! I was terrible over xmas and i have only just started to feel better. I am constantly battling thoughts in my head! I dont know your circumstances but dont let doctors get in your way ! If you feel that you are being overlooked then shout louder ! You are doing a wonderful job and you should be proud. Its not easy being a carer and no one wants to know until you shout loudest. I have really had to be strong for the past 14 years and battle for it all. Sometimes i feel like banging my head up the wall!! Dont be too hard on yourself and congratulate yourself on being the fab person that you are!!

Wed 23 Jan 2008 20:33Hi, Just want to say that i too feel the same from day to day sometimes. I too don't know your situation, but there are days when i question myself out loud about evrything I'm doing and have done. You are doing the best you can, that's what we all do for our loved ones. I just also want to say that Loopy is a great person and offers optimistic advice that enlightens you, she is a tower of strength and brightens up everyones day. We should all take our own advice sometimes, shouldn't we ?, but it's far easier to pass it onto others. Stay and keep positive, it will come right in the end.
