I forgot to eat today. When I finally decided to let myself go to bed for the night, I realised how fucking hungry I was. I'm now eating three weetbix and wondering if I'll ever get my shit together. Also forgot to take my anti-depressants this morning. NOT looking forward to tomorrow

ahhhh i'm not sure anyone ever really gets their shit together. i'm going overseas in two months and i'm so confused and panicky at the moment that it's ridiculous but i just don't have the strength of character to stop procrastinating and using my poor attention span as an excuse and actually do what i have to do. it's very frustrating and i'm not sure the best way to stop it.

but you know, you're always going to get it together in the end, because you love leith so much that really it's the only thing you can do.

getmaggot is right - no one ever THINKS they have their shit together - because you get one lot of shit together ie. you remember to eat... and you notice something else you DIDNT do... and the fact that you remembered to eat seems trivial in comparison (because its normal, right?)... so you focus on what you DIDNT get it together to do. be glad you remembered to eat in the end, be thankful you had weetbix at the ready (quick easy food), decide to remember to eat tomorrow and be kind to yourself.

and you know what? i wondered if i was ever going to get my kids OUT of my bed and into their own, in their own room - of course, i eventually did... us mums are just never happy it seems :)

just be a bit lighter on yourself... you are doing a great job, in spite of evidence you might come up with to the contrary :)

I've often wanted - actually, I still want it - a job which I could become so preoccupied with that eating becomes irrelevant.

I occasionally skip meals or have them much later... two things lead me to eating: I get real shaky and weak when I'm deprived of food, and secondly, I'm concerned I'll lose weight and lose my boobs.

Time will take Leith to a big kid bed. But enjoy him now while he's the size that he is and the age he's at for all the things he does at this stage. =)

i was going to give my toddler bed away to the bartering community in exchange for the gardening they're doing, but if you want to buy it instead I'll post a pic or two of the bed, he might just love it as much as my son did. email me at bellesub@hotmail.com
hope you feel better soon - sometimes it helps to put things in perspective. A visit to PMH may make you feel better, please don't take offence or feel I am trying to downplay what your going through, but when my son was hospitalised there for septaceamia I met a woman outside whose baby was next door to ours and was suffering permanent brain damage. The burns unit is a place no mother wants to be.
Really I hope you can come to terms with Leith's autism. *hugs*
