Happy New Year. F-You 2008, you will not be missed. Oh I really need some stuff with the house to happen this year. Like you know getting the F out of it. Protecting my son. What's with all the F's? Perhaps I should "adult content" my blog so I can swear, what do you think, Bonnie?!
The other day, when it was my turn to wake up with Egg, I just screamed over and over for half an hour that I couldn't cope. I meant it. I have warned Eggs dad for a long time now that I felt I was on the verge of a breakdown, now I can feel it getting closer. Like my sanity was hanging of the cliff with me pulling it up, holding tight to it's hand. But now, well, now I am tired. My hand, the one holding up my sanity, is giving up. That morning I felt like I want to go to a hospital or something and tell them that I am trapped in a damp house and I don't know what to do. Perhaps they would give think I was a nutter, or a drunk and inject me with something sweet and give me a bed, let me rest my tired head (even though I sleep more than my fair share-it's not the sleep need as such, though I am tired, it's more the not being awake part).
I feel like I am actually going mad. I cannot be the mother I want to be if all my time is spent telling Egg not to touch the damp. My depression has nothing to do with Egg, NOTHING. It's mostly the house, with some other stuff thrown in.
I am not trying to scare any of you, I don't want to die. I have some amazing moments with Egg. He is my all. Eggs dad too, goes without say. Oh fuck now I am crying. I can't believe this house, the one that I live in for FREE to HELP us has wrecked our lives.
The OCD has got worse too. Save that for another post.
So it all hangs on 2009.
update: I am sorry for sounding like a lunatic. When you click on here (and I don't know why you do) you must have your fingers crossed it's not going to be another sad post. It's not so bad, I am sure we will move, not sure how, but hey everything works out in the end.

My dear, Life really sucks sometimes and I know it to be true.
I can hear in your post you love egg. I do not know what you live in but sounds as though it is really bad.
I wish I knew how to help you. I do not know you, much less if you are in America or not.
You must find some way out of that house if at all possible.
All I can do is pray right now and I am senscerly sorry for your dreadful circumstances.
Please keep writing, it is good for you.
You know, we all have these days, and no one is going to beat you up over it except you. In fact, you validate the rest of us who have been where you are, ready to check into the white padded room for a good night's sleep! lol
Hang in there. Rough times in life are a given. There is a book called The Art of Happiness. I re-read it frequently and I think you'd like it. Oh, and Zem Momma, a wonderful book for all mothers, but I found with the challenges I deal with it really spoke to me. If you get some time to curl up with a good book, check 'em out.
Until then, don't worry about the content of your posts not being all sunshine and roses. If they were, people wouldn't think you were real!
I have been there to. So you wont scare us off.
Am sending you some reiki and a hug.
Hope 2009 will find you all in a dry home. Thanks for being so kind to me, even when you are feeling so low.
I am confused now, about which post i read and am responding to, but i also love Snow Cake!
Take care and keep that hold on your sanity!
Thanks to all of you! It's funny, half the comments I leave are all happy, then you you pay me a visit and I'm all blah! Thanks for all your kind words xx
BTW I am from the UK :0)
Suz, it was because of you I knew I would like the film, I remember when I was catching up at yours and you said you and your mother were going to watch a film and that you wished it would be snow cake! Then after watching the Scrabble clip on YT, I was like WOW! It's weird in my down state I am feeling like I NEED to watch it. Well not that weird for me I guess :0)
I know, seriously rainbowmummy, you're the queen of the ambush. ;p
(((BIG HUGS))) I care about you a lot chica. Sorry you're feeling blue.
I'm not in the mood to sugar coat this morning, so I'm just going to say what I'm thinking. You need to talk to a doctor about depression. You really, really do.
Now give yourself a break, because you're doing the best you can. <3
Laura, LOL, and thanks for the hugs!!
Quirky Mom, Sugar coat is just a nice word for "lie", always welcome to say exactly what you think here. Can't do pills, as tried a few time and ended up in a worse state :0/ but I probably should find someone to talk to. Thanks for your honesty. Hope you are well.
Here is to 2009 being a much better beginning!
I think that we all have darker times, thankfully it makes the sweeter ones that much better. I hope that things begin to turn around for you soon.
rainbow, two words; cognitive theropy. I did the pills and hated them so my doctor sent me to a councilor who uses cognative theropy. Too complicated to go into but it can work. I've suffered from depression most of my adult life and it sucks sometimes. Finally went off my trolly when post natal depression kicked in after Jamie was born. It was all too much. I'm better now that I have been for a while, which may or may not last. But I've learnt that it will pass. My email addy is on my blog, I'm there if you need me. I know about living with serious damp too, do you have mushrooms as well? Ours was finally sorted this year after 15 years, so it can all get better.
Stay strong xxx.
Thanks Jennifer, yeah I get what you mean, the sweet is pretty amazing!!
Claire, thank you. Just thank you. You understand the depression and damp, wanna go out and get drunk and scream at the world, LOL ;0) Mushrooms? I don't even want to know if I do! It must feel amazing after all that time to have a house that is safe and comfortable to live in. I am so very happy for you, and I mean that, not in a envious way (I'm not that type of chick)!!
You're not a loony (says me, and I'm a total loon. but. whatever.) I told J I was thinking f-u to 2008 and he begged me not to say it. He thought it might cause the roof to cave in. Perhaps. But, I'm with you. I really need 09 to be better, every. single. day.
PS - I talk to my doc about it and you know what she said? Basically, "Better you than me. I couldn't handle it. Here's your script for Xanax." In fact, I have to go see her this afternoon with all four kids. EEE.
Hey pixiemama, thanks! And you're not a loony (says ME, and I'm a total loon. but. whatever.) Hey that's what friends are for roght egging on eachothers denial, were helping eachother....
Some doc you've got there. Good luck with the app, hope the kids give a great time that she can cope with, ha!
Hey, defintely try the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. It worked for my husband and his depression was NOT fun to live with. It doesn't make you dig up your past or anything too heavy and you can get it on the NHS.
In the meantime - try growing magic mushrooms, they'll make the time pass so much more easily and are a great use of the free damp you have......nah, better not.
I hope 09 is already better that 08.
I read your entire blog from beginning to end last night and I can't say I loved it - it isn't that type of blog. I DO think Egg is lucky to have you.
OK then Anna, not really sure what I am meant to reply. what type of blog though?
What an odd comment.
The ladies are right that CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) can be really effective for depression, and for anxiety as well.
typing 1-handed while nursing fussy baby, but couldn't read and not respond. (hugs) dear. i'm sorry you are feeling so out of control right now. i'm sending you lots of positive thoughs and warm, peaceful light to you.
Woah, I can't believe I wrote that either. It was the end of a long, hard day (it started with ironing at 4am - DO NOT ASK WHY!).
What I meant was - I read your blog from beginning to end and you are an inspriational mum and Egg is very lucky and I wish your life were much, much easier. When I said I din't love your blog, I meant it was hard to read about some-one's pain and not be able to do anything about it (I'm quite male like that, I want to fix things). It didn't come out like that due to extreme sleep deprivation and thinking that people can read my mind and subtext and all that stuff.
All I can do is, like every-one else send you love and support and hope that who-ever is supposed to be sorting out your house does it - on monday
Thanks Quirky Mom!
April, as always thanks. I am waiting by the door waiting for the postman to deliver your positive thoughts and warm, peaceful light to you!! It works like that, right?!
Anna, thanks for coming back! I had my finger on the delete blog button after re:reading some of my blog myself. My blog, to be honest, is just a very odd collection of some of the things inside my head. No worries your advice on the magic mushrooms worked a TREAT. Joking, I am joking (and totally high, no sorry joking, maaaaan!)
Me again, bit confused. My blog list says you posted a blog called more eggoisms, but when I clicked on it I got told it didn't exist. Maybe I've done something wrong. And if rainbow is your real name then good coz it's lovly!
Yeah, I deleated that post. Loooong story.
And yes it is my real name, and my middle name is sunflowertwinklefairy. LOL
You've earned you some F-bombs, darlin'. Just know that these phases pass, always do, and then you can watch as one of us goes through it and remind us that you were there too and got through it.
SO: What are you doing to take care of yourself?
Nearly there now - school starts tomorrow. Hope you're doing ok?
Dreaming, dreaming off my lovely new house, Mara!
Yeah, I am ok today. Thanks Anna! Oh school, glorious school!
