So sorry you are feeling so bad, if I was you, I would contact my support worker and get her to call them, to tell them to never come near your door again, without making a appointment so that your support worker can make arrangements to be there for you, she could explain that you are very vulnerable, and that you need support at all times when being questioned, I really hope you feel better soon.

You cant possibly cope with all this on your own. I can see you posted 17 hours ago, I do hope you've managed to get help! Take care. x

hi,im still waiting for the psychiatric people to come round or contact me,im having a bad day had a row with my sons ex partner as she is annoyed that I cant have my 2 young grandsons aged almost 2 and 3yr old her dad wont look after the younger one as he is busy I did say I would look after the eldest after giving up trying to explain im to unwell at the moment (she knows all that happened at weekend ) but there is no way I could manage the 2 of them I cant run round after them due to being hardly able to walk ,im so angry with her and yet again I feel guilty and useless I also got it in the ear about my daughters not helping her enough they both work my eldest has 2 jobs and the other is a nurse and they are short staffed so she is doing extra hrs this girl is totally stressing me out ive or should I say my family try to help her as much as possible but its never enough ive given her money,bags of shopping,clothes,ive bought loads of stuff for the kids so much im being left with hardly any money for myself so many times grrrrrr.

You need to STOP take a breath and think of yourself, and stop allowing situations to cause you stress, how can you possibly take are of 2 very young children, and no disrespect meant here, YOU can barely take care of yourself, you need to tell this girl straight "NO I am too unwell to take care off the children", why she would even consider you to watch the children is beyond believe, can't she see, or understand how unwell you are, !!!! you also need to stop giving her money and everything else, you are worried about your own financial state, and yet you are supplying this girl with all of that, she seems to think the world owes her something, quite frankly you should tell her no to everything, concentrate and take care of yourself.
