Oh hon – HUGS many, how horrible for you to be going through all of that- I wish I could give you a proper hug instead of an internet one *hug*. Remember to cut yourself some slack, you have been through so much and you are still upright and functioning – THAT is impressive.

I can totally relate to that. If it is any help, probably not when you are so tired, but it will pass I promise.

Big hugs. I bope you start to feel better once you have had some time for you. Life becomes very difficult when we are exhausted. Take some time to catch up with yourself. Be kind to yourself, you've had some tough times to get through recently. Hope you are reading that book as I write this!

Sorry to hear you're feeling so tired and fed up. I can identify with you to some extent as I'm absolutely exhausted at 37 weeks pregnant and have had a very tricky day today with both children. However, as I don't have the insomnia you have I know I'll be okay again soon (maybe when the new baby's about 5?!). It's so important to give yourself time to rest, I hope it helps. And I agree about those people and situations which drain your energy, I'm getting better at avoiding them and managing them these days. Hope you feel better soon (hugs) x

sorry to hear that. I think we've all been there, trying to do too much, worrying about the silly things instead of teh important ones, not looking after yourself properly. Its a slippery slope.

Some time alone with a hot bath and good book should help.

Good for you – hot bath and book sounds good. By the way, I regularly want to reach into that mirror and give myself a damn good slap…

There's nothing like a hot bath, a book and a good night's sleep for recharging. And LOTS of chocolate…

Oh big hugs to you – I find that I get all touched and talked out and just need time with the door shut on the rest of the world / family from time to time

I hope you got your recharge time and are feeling better for it

Big hug to you!

That's a horrible feeling to have. Glad you're taking a new start. Often a refuel will do wonders.

Do reptiles not bleed? I didn't know that. Enjoy your recharge time. I personally think those two hours should be just for you and not even include the family. They can have two more hours after you've enjoyed your me time.
