Feeling down

Jess

Just a rant really as I have no one else to turn too. 

I have a hypersensitive non verbal autistic son who was diagnosed at 2 and he's now 3. My 10year old is on the pathway for a diagnosis with school, we keep having more and more meetings about issues that she has within school and how they are helping her. 

At the moment it just seems like one thing after another just keeps happening, forms to fill out, appointments, signatures, new structures and aids to help with learning and my sons meltdowns too, parenting programmes, normal house work, school runs etc. 'm just drained :/ 

I was offered a job by a person I used to work with but with all that keeps happening I just don't feel it would be the right time. I have no family or friends around so I'd be stuck in a sticky situation if my kids school rang or kids were ill or the amount of appointments we'll be having :/ i would love to get back into work but I just feel like I can't not right now .. if ever? And its really got me down i've never felt so low in a long time!!!! 

I know we all have our own issues day to day and things will get easier but I just wanna cry! I know I shouldn't blame myself for anything but at the moment that's all I seem to be doing about literally everything no matter how little it is. Daily struggles are real and I need to fine a coping mechanism

  • Hiya. I’m sorry you’re not feeling to good right now. I’m here having a ‘calm me down’ session. I’m having a bad day too.

    can you not set yourself a reward for when the youngest is in bed? Like a cheeky can of strongbow ;-) a pot noodle.

    Smile.. it does get better. I know from experience

    Hi :) thankyou for the suggestion. My tea time always seems to be when all my kids are in bed (not stated but I have 3 in total). And I do occasionally have a drink but don't tend to do it often as unfortunately my dad was an alcoholic "/ 

    I just feel like I never have any time on my hands for anything! I think because this how I feel quite often with constantly so much going on  this is maybe why I've gotten so worked up about the possibility of not working.
