Molly6 - I am sorry you are feeling so low and that you don't feel you can share it with the nurse tomorrow. I also have kids and I know how hard it is to keep up a brave face for the family. Do you have a partner that you can talk to about how you are feeling? Where are you going on holiday? It is often difficult for me to face holidays but I usually find that they go much better than I expected. Is it possible you could feel some joy by going on this holiday? I wish you well and hope that the day gets better for you.

I'm not an expert on relationships by any means, and I don't have any experience of being a parent. But, as a man myself, I would want my, so-far hypothetical, wife to feel that she could confide in me rather than feeling that she had to hide her feelings.
Also, while your children certainly do need you, don't they also need you to be as well as possible? So, I would ask you not to feel guilty about giving a certain amount of your time and attention to your own health and wellbeing.
Following on from that, might it not be best to be honest with your nurse? Or, at least as honest as you feel comfortable with. I know that it's difficult, I found it very difficult, myself. But I can't help feeling that even the best medical professional can only help you on the basis of the information that they have.
Good luck on your holiday!

That sounds like a good idea Tacking....

I am feeling just a tad low myself today..... I'm not sure what it is exactly. I will try to wash in a little bit to refresh myself & maybe go for a drive down the road....

My dad encouraged me to walk, since I told him I was feeling a bit down.... I walked, laughed, came home & still felt a bit low....

That's okay, though.... I think every thing will be alright....

Edit: I keep forgetting that my period has been seeming like it's trying to come, but I cannot really be sure....

End of Edit

Pretending to be okay hurt me far more than telling it to others, especially in the beginning. As time went on, I did try to keep it together or keep it to myself more....

Putting on a mask tired me out a bit. I still keep some things to myself, but if I really feel like I'm in crisis, I blurt it out quickly before it gets to be too bad. That's when I really go over the edge, which I don't want to do again.... (too scary)
