dont worry crazy lady

congatulations on reaching week 3. I am just a few days ahead of you and I have been also a blubbing wreck. I cried at cute adverts, dancing on ice, one of my plants dying (which i planted on the day I quit) it was going to be a plant of significance, and well every thing else made me cry. From day 9 to day 15. Then on day 16 I woke up and the world was rosey again. I do not know why we have this. My family call it the melt down but if you come through the other end you are going to be successful as you know you are not goong to feel any worse. I read a thread by a fellow the other day and he was crying like a girl all the time. Keep strong don't give up and soon the world will be a happy place again. Promise. I do not know why we go thrpigh

LOTS of people feel like this around this stage - depressed, empty, weepy, kind of like perpetual PMT. I guess it's just part of the process of mental readjustment. Often on here we talk about the stages of giving up as being very similar to the grieving process, and I think it's quite true.

Stay strong, this too shall pass.

HI Cl

I was lucky it only lasted a day or 2 with me, but I definitely did the getting weepy at the most ridiculous things like Location, Location and other such emotionally charged programmes!

It will pass though.just grit your teeth or watch a real weepy to give yourself the chance to have real howl.

Good luck and keep with it, you've done so well!

Thank you all :-) I just hate feeling low, I suffered with really bad post natal depression and it feels like im suffering with it again :-( I hate feeling like this, I sometimes wake up feeling on top of the world but then I feel really bad with a nasty taste in the back of my throat :-(
