Sorry!  Needed to start a new post as it was taking ages for the other one to load.  One of the joys of living in the country and being at the very end of a line.

Have you thought about asking for respite while your T is away?  Would that help to take some pressure off you?

The 29th doesn't seem of that much use.  Especially when the idea is to provide support while your T is away.  What does your sw think this is then?  I think because we live our lives in crisis that people forget that this isn't the norm and that it is extremely hard to have to deal with on a constant basis.
I'm sorry about your GP visit.  I am often late for my appointments too due to overwhelming anxiety.  Several times I have been several minutes late and I have seen the doctor about to walk about the door.  I am lucky that my doctor is understanding (and usually late himself).

Probably it would have been best not to say that.  I don't think it really motivates people to help you and their perception may just be that you were late therefore it was your fault and you needed to take responsibility for it.  I guess what a doctor does is up to them.  It depends on their schedule, etc.  I'm sure if there had of been time you would have been slotted in.

That's like me too at times.  I have been feeling a little frustrated and irritable lately.  My mum annoyed me the other day and when she was opening the gate I easily felt as though I could drive into her.  I didn't.  But in my head I am thinking the stupid f n *****.  Obviously I am feeling extremely stressed and maybe aren't doing so well.  Maybe this is just pmt again?  It's not very nice feeling that ?aroused (intense).

My brother went home on the 8th.  Thank goodness.  He rang today and I asked how he found his visit.  I don't even think that he got that mum and I were both severely stressed and that his gf was kind of ?  Not sure what she was.

It's my birthday today (the 10th).  Gee I feel old.

I can't get respite until the 29th and my next appointment with him is on the 30th but my social worker said if i need it in a crisis she can get me in then, some use then.
I am very depressed and had terrible panic attacks, and i was late for my GP so she wouldn't see me have to wait another two weeks, i was angry but controlled it, i just told them if i get sick and have to go to out of hours then i will be complaining about them. I probably shouldn't have said anything but i was annoyed.
Not a good day sometimes i feel i shouldn't be let out on my own.
Has your brother and his girlfriend went home now?
I hope all is well with you.
