hey ladies sorry for the rant just had enough at moment of everything ...... sorry its so long
am so tired as not been sleeping (its now 3.50 am and still cant sleep).. the most i get is about 2 hrs a night and then when i finally get to sleep am up not long after to do the run around for the family as am the only one with car which i have to put all our extra money in for fuel and get nothing for it and dont even get to use it for ourselves (well i asked my mum for money for fuel 3 weeks ago and she gives me a fiver dont get much). am so tired i even had to cancel hospital appointments (born with spina bifida so have to visit lots) cus i just dont have engergy to do anything for myself. am making my self ill as i now have swallon glands due to infection and no one can see what its doing to me. on top of my spina bifida i also suffer with asthma, hypertension, poor kidney function and motablity issues which all are getting worst. i sick of putting everyone first and getting nothing in return. i got upset with the h2b earlier for small petty things and then just broke down crying. he tells me i sud say something but its not easy when my parents always think they are right and as we are the children we do the things for them as they did for us when we was children on top of all that in the last week we have had h2b phone break, shower break (wet room so no bath), my laptop which had all wedding plans and designs on (on h2b's at moment) and the ps3 as broken to. can anything else go wrong?
i really feel like am about to break and am scared it my h2b thats goin to get it all on him and hes done nothing wrong bless him thanks ladies for listening .... well reading lol

Awww, sorry you're not sleeping well - I know that feeling! I've been awake for the last hour now, so I know there's no chance of me getting back to sleep now! I know it's really hard, but you really have to try to put your foot down. You don't have to do this in a confrontational way. All this running around is clearly having a big impact on your life and more importantly your health. If it's got to the point that you're missing hospital appointments because of it, then you've reached a point that you have to say something! x

Hun I am so sorry to hear this and if you're not sleeping well am I right in guessing neither is your h2b? Lots of people with stressors like you have experience a lack of sleep. Try talking to your partner and parents about the fuel use and see if you can reduce the amount you use your car. Also book your appointment at the hospital and stick to it, the others can cope better without you for a day than for months because you drove yourself into the ground running round after them. Try some lavendar oil on your pillow at night to help soothe you, you may find you get a better quality sleep and therefore sleep for longer. Let me know how this goes hunni and look after yourself! xx

I have popped a link to a NHS supported website that i use when I am struggling with some of the issues you have described. Have a go it might help.

CommentAuthorpennieb-MrsRiley
You could try and tell your family that you have to scale down on the amount of running around you do because it is having a negative impact on your health and you don't want to end up seriously ill because you're trying to do things for them - guilt them!!! And don't miss any more appointments. Be strong and say no - I know it's hard, had to have a difficult discussion with my mum myself yesterday, but you can do it - and if everything else fails, start screening your calls so you don't get bullied into agreeing lol
Now, finally, Mrs Riley
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

1st and foremost your health is more important than running ppl around hun and your family do know that but are probably too busy to notice how much its taking its toll on you? just tell them you dont feel well enough to drive and take some time for yourself your obviously stressed out about this or you would be able to sleep xx

have you spoken to your doctor about not sleeping. i have problems sleeping too and before i go to bed i switch off phone, laptop, tele and read for half hour and it really helps. i also have a cup of hot milk!! xx
CommentAuthorluvlifejen (mrs berr
being able to switch off is so important i know certain days of the week my mind works overtime i have done this, do i need that etc. sundays i toss and turn with the thought of over sleeping (i wish! lol) it could be a sleeping ritual is needed like mrsbarkertobe says? xx

I would tell them all where to go, family or not! U can't be expected to do everything for everyone just cos youere the only one who drives. Especially if they're all so tight to not give u petrol money! People who dont drive have no idea how much it costs to run a car!! I would put my foot down and say enuf is enuf, find some1 else to be your runaround or get the bus or a taxi!!!!! Your family should understand how much they are affecting your health for god sake, if not they are amazingly selfish!!

CommentAuthorjanetx71
does anyone else in your family have the medical issues that you have cause if they dont they should be the ones helping you out hun familys can get selfish when things get left to long just start saying no sorry im busy or no i need to be somewhere else its baby steps start getting them used to you not being around the moment they want you eventually they get the hang of it trust me i know now when i see my family its cause i want to and not cause i need to do something for them try it hun it works just start not being available xxxx
CommentAuthorbride22feb2012
gosh you poor thing... well theres hundred of ladies here that are ready to listen whenever you need it xx
you're not having a good time are you! take a break from everything for a little while and try to stay calm. don't let it all wind you up.
Have a word with them all - it's not fair what they are doing to you.

While you allow people to walk all over you, they will! Trust me I know this all too well. My new years resolution was to no longer lend people money, be used as a taxi company or be everyones agony aunt. It's hard to start with and I do feel guilty at times, but it still amazes me the cheek of some people!
I love my lickle Ava
