The effects on me...

I cannot stop myself from eating (well I probably could, but you know what I mean!).

I am gaining weight every day and hardly exercising.

I am constantly tired.

I am snappy at the kids.

The house is in a mess and I rely on Miss 8 to help me keep it in order and then bribe her with toys.

I am finding myself flirting with guys who message me when ICQ or yahoo messenger is on (probably not as bad as what some people do!) and relish the attention.

My thesis is on hold totally as I cannot find time to work on it and when I do I don't know where to start.

Everything seems impossible. Mum has helped us out financially which is great but I will need to get a job asap if we are going to continue to survive.

And I then hate myself for not being able to cope.
