I have been on vacation since Thursday. We have had my husbands Mother & brother here since Thursday. We all get along great, have gone to the movies, played cards, went to the casino.... I should be happy, happy, happy but am I no. I feel gulity that I am glad they are going home tomorrow so we can have 2 days before we both have to go back to work just to do whatever we want. I felt like I had to keep busy this whole past week and to make sure everyone was having a good time. I am exhusted. I have now lost my train of thought and am going to end this.

Thanks for listening.

Hey Karen, family visits can be very stressful even when you all get along, and for those of us with depression that can make us more down, so try not to beat yourself up. I hope you really pamper yourself for the next couple of days, you deserve it!

((((((((((((((Karen))))))))))))))))

Love,
Fuzzy

Karen:

I think it's normal to feel that. It's normal for me Just down

It's exhausting b/c I always feel forced to talk and keep everyone else happy and it's all way too overwhelming. You deserve to have a break and the house back to yourselves for some of your own "family time". (((Hugs))) and I hope your inlaws have a safe trip back home.

Take Care and don't beat yourself up. You're definitely not the only one who feels this way!

I prescribe you one bubble bath with a glass of wine or grape juice your choice, one foot massage by your hubby, one day of laying around and doing whatever you darn well please, and last but not least a nap if you need it whenever you need it.
