Depression thread continued...

Really struggling. Been looking at one way flights and considering just running away without telling anybody where I am going then what will be will be but then my son or daughter interact with me with something as small asking me for a drink, or where their jumper is etc, etc and it brings me back to the reality that I can't leave them no matter how much I want to be gone.

I think it is a thought many of us entertain at some point. Removing ourselves from a situation/place/present circumstance, but I do believe we take our heads with us (obviously we do but I mean our psychological heads, hey that made me laugh 😄) and eventually that will, catch up with us albeit the thought of not having people around us is tempting.

Those small innocent interactions you have just talked about are a blessing, your wee ones love you unconditionally and that is something no amount of money, therapy, medication can buy. And like you say keep bringing us back.

It my son's birthday on Monday. Unfortunately his main present was supposed to arrive today but they've only sent one box when it was supposed to be two boxes so we won't get that in time. He's took that news fine but it's made me and my gf sad and annoyed.

She is at work on Saturday and Sunday so I'll be home. Determined to be productive in the house in someway but don't know what to try and do yet. On Monday hopefully it will be dry weather. If it is we will probably go to Gibside with the kids and the dog once our son has opened his presents. Will let him choose somewhere to go for tea on the way home. Will try my best to not be grumpy all day so I don't ruin it like I did my birthday.

They do some class pizzas at Gibside, could just treat him there.
 
Do a little niggly job that you've been putting off for ages. It gives you a boost when it stops irritating you!

Shame about the present. It's so frustrating when things like that happen. Gibside is fantastic like. Love wandering around there. Hope you have a great birthday with him.

The niggly jobs are basic electrical jobs that I've been putting off paying somebody to do. Might give it a go myself. What's the worst that could happen. :lol:

Yeah we ordered the present nearly 3 weeks ago so it's already been a long wait. I'm hoping because it's their error they will be quicker than 3 weeks to rectify it.

Clearing the crap out the garage for me. I had space in the wheelie bin and managed to bin some junk last night. Bin got emptied this morning. That's a start!

I really need to do some exercise but I don't like exercising in the sitting room as I get too warm and the mat slides about on the floor. I jam the mat under the sofa but then I keep bumping into the sofa. I started doing exercise outside in March but the weather was shit for all of April so I gave up.

If I can get a space cleared in the garage, it's cool out there and I can still work out when it's raining. I can just start out with the mat I've already got, but eventually I want to paint the walls, put rubber flooring down and buy more exercise stuff.

My garage needs a good sort out too. Could do with a skip really but they're so expensive to hire a begrudge paying for one.

If you can walk 3 miles get yourself to a parkrun sat morning if you are able. Usually a good community spirit there.

I fantasise about this all the time pal. Escape all responsibility and be a completely blank canvas.
