Picking up the pieces again *SU Trigger*

Hopeful is going to help on its own . And yay! for Christmas movies

You are so right huni. Sorry I've been such a negative Nancy, I am going to really try and capture a bit of hope and try to hold on to It. I am burying my head in the sand a bit at the moment with regard to how I am going to manage family contact around Christmas. I guess I'm hoping my new meds will make a difference before then and maybe help me cope better.

Oh Suzi sooooooo many to choose from really depends on my mood. Love the old movies like White Christmas, Miracle on 34th Street, it's a wonderful life bit I also love cheesy Christmas romances and of course the all-time must watches... Elf and The Grinch, Polar Express. Stick a Christmas Tree in it and I'm hooked. I have a thing for Christmas Trees.

Tbh I'm not quite sure how I am. I feel like I'm being a bit of an ostrich.... ignoring things that are too difficult to work out. I'm keeping excessively busy to distract and feel exhausted most of the time. I'm still battling su thoughts every day but I'm battling them. As i said to my psychiatrist, if I can just get to the point where I want to be safe. At the moment when people say, can you keep yourself safe, my problem is always that a lot of the time I don't want to be safe. Anyway, I'm ticking off the days. I'm going to bed shortly as I'm knackered. I'll take a tablet so I get sleep and tick off another day.

My husband is The Grinch! ! His rule is no tree til December...... however, that doesn't mean other little ornaments won't make their way out of the boxes.........

I'm so proud of you for being open and honest about that. I know it's really hard to do so.
Have you spoken to hubby about everything yet?

[Strugglingmum]

We have talked through some stuff but I'm still thinking through the new diagnosis (or ignoring it). At the moment for me it would not be helpful to have to go there with him. My focus is on battling my mood and thoughts at the moment and just trying to be mum and trying to find a glimpse of enjoying something. Having to deal with that as well is just too much for me right now.
