So today I feel like I'm a shadow wondering through a dark empty cave. I've have surcomed to locking myself away in my room before I blow a fuse. I feel so utterly pants today like the chacter from snoopy who walks round with a rainy cloud over head. It's only 2.25 but best place is asleep

Hello Doneanddusted, sorry you are feeling glum. Sometimes staying in bed can be the best place, especially if you are tired both emotionally and physically. However bed can be the worst place if all you do is sit and think of all the negative things in your life. So if you are tired, please snooze away. If you are not tired, well try to stay up, sit on a chair, watch a dvd, you tube videos of cats, read a book, something that will absorb your mind so you don't end up like a hamster in a ball going around and around in your head.

Hope this helps, take care.

Fi.

Thanks got up as thinking too much time to feed the pig, dogs and cats lol oh well onwards and upwards x

I know how you feel. I've been finding it very hard to sleep of late - I wake up in the early morning and my head just starts firing at hundreds of miles per hour again.

You did well in getting up and doing something practical though. It can be so overwhelming to lie there and be bombarded by your thoughts, feeling helpless to slow or stop them.
