Heck! .
Think I'll just write myself off - if I have the time, that is

I have only just read your post, Sphynx and I hope that you are keeping ok and have not imploded/exploded yet! Believe me, I do empathise with that feeling. There is nothing that anyone can say to make things better, but maybe that knowing you aren't alone (in spirit, if not in body) will help a lit...

<t>HI All, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this post. <br/> It's more of a 'getting it off my chest' type of post.<br/> Yesterday, as we all know, was Mother's Day. I wasn't quite sure how I would feel about it, as my eldest has Asperger's (only diagnosed at 33 years of age!) and my youn...

To illustrate the point about discrimination against people with mental health problems - my son, who suffers with Paranoid Schizophrenia, asked about volunteering at a local nature/old mill place.

I'm afraid her days are numbered, but she's a lovely dog. http://www.carersuk.org/image...

Well done, Marie - you CAN do it and you deserve it - your daughter deserves time with you, too. Keep strong - xx

Well, here I am - I've survived, yay!! I know that it's been a hectic weekend, but I'm blowed if I can remember everything that I've done. Maybe I only think I do a lot? lol http://dev.carersuk.org/j3/images/icon_confused.gif Ah yes, Grandaughter's twelfth birthday. Saturday was shopping - I mean......

<t>I won't say 'I know how you feel' ....but, I can empathise with you. Life gets like that at times. <br/> Do you drive? Could you just tell them you've had enough and are going out for a couple of hours to have some time on your own? <br/> It's difficult to overcome the guilt and the thoughts that...
