To ask What's the most pressing thing on your mind at the moment?

I need to check the due date of something at work

We've just found out my husband has liver cancer and it's spread to his lung. He's 37 years old and we have 3 young children. 4, 5 & 6 years old.

Giving birth to DC3 next month

Doing the necessary things to buy a house, so I can live in a house worth making look nice. Simple things that don't feel worth it when renting.

Working on my flexibility. Not too bad, but need to put more effort and time in to achieve some goals.

Using up my holiday time from work, I had plans but for reasons my passport is taking so long to sort out, so need to figure out what to do. Current plan, or do I need alternative uses, that don't involve going abroad

I know, nothing really important, but my life is trouble free atm

Son moving to Vancouver..I know he will be fine
Israel and Palestine …am absolutely sickened by what is happening there to innocent babies/ children/ adults . Cannot comprehend it TBH and trying to avoid the news on TV.

I hope you and your husband are getting lots of support from family.X

Several things. Immediately it's my daughter's application to Cambridge - UCAS in, SAQ due, essays to be sent and test to prep for. Longer term is her recent Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis and what this will mean for her life. Also my older child's future - he's working, he's looking after himself, but I know he's unhappy with how life is turning out for him but he can't seem to take the next, scary, step.
Myself? I also have a chronic illness and I worry about my health in the future too

• im over 60 already. There's other family issues.

Parent died this year and sibling has relapsed. Family riddled with addiction and worried about losing another one to it.

2 children with autism and toddler now been referred for assessment for it along with just finding out they have a moderate pda on their blood vessel in their heart that is passing blood through to their lungs leaving their ventricle enlarged 😔 Needs a procedure to close the blood vessel. Worried sick about them too 😔
Worried that it's me who helps everyone and when I need someone there is nobody to help me.

Money as income has decreased
Fixing issues with the house
My health and weight gain
Relationships
Concern for sick family members
Trying not to think about war and conflict as put of my control.

Distracting myself by finding something useful to do each day .

I'm missing my DP a lot tonight it's making me sad. another four weeks until he's home

My grandad I love him to bits andmy best friend but his health is very quickly going downhill from no hospital visits to ten in the last 6months

@Iguessyourestuckwithme Please reach out for help to a friend or dr/hospital like you’ve bravely reached out here.You may not think it now but you WILL get better ❤️‍🩹 there are so many types of help- you’re not alone and you’re very brave for opening up here. Please let us know if you can that you’re getting help x

The sickening atrocities in Israel. Not sure how to distract myself, it’s too awful for words.

Oh my lovely, I’m so very sorry.

The most pressing thing in my mind at the moment is getting my outfit together for my daughter's wedding in four weeks.

Youngest’s career prospects.

Horse stood on my foot Wednesday evening. I've had an X-ray and two bones are broken plus it's swollen something wicked - you won't believe how awkward/painful it is going for a pee or trying to take a shower on one foot.

I'm off work because I can't stand on it and the painkillers are making me feel sick.

My husband works in the aviation industry and is currently in the Middle East. He says everything is OK where he is and not to worry but I'll be glad when he's back on Monday.

Luckily the kids !!! ( 19,16 &14 ) seem to be organizing themselves quite happily.

So much at the moment!

Israel

There's always about a million things in my mind but the main ones

My sons UCAS application and how best to advise him. Trying to keep myself informed so I can help but also not make decisions for him!

Situation with Hamas. Honestly I'm not watching too much about it. Maybe that makes me weak and selfish but my mental health has been very bad lately and I do appreciate this is a luxury I have to turn it off.

Have just moved 3000 miles to be with DH and I've realised after three weeks my new job takes the piss. Spoke to DH and I won't be completing my probation. Hopefully there won't be too many visa implications.

Workload and DD health.
Been the same for years.

DD16 and her significant mental breakdown- she has become a totally different person, can’t cope with me leaving the room, lots of paranoid delusions, Suicide ideation and attempts. So scared for her future (and if I’m honest mine). I really need to go back to work but can’t see how it will happen. Life feels very bleak right now. Also concerned for the impact on DS. Our lovely happy family of 4 seems to have collapsed.

So sorry you experienced this
