To ask what your biggest problem in life is at the moment?

@janeljl I know how you feel! Research OIT - form of allergy treatment. It is life changing!

Soon to be husband diagnosed with cancer and just started Chemotherapy 3 days ago, I went to Doctor on Friday and he’s fast tracking me for suspected Thyroid/neck cancer, life is just dandy right now

My severely affected ASD teen has just told me the reason he doesn't commit suicide is that I have worked so hard to try to help him & he doesn't want to make more work for me.
I just want to be able to stop work & be there for him but as I was widowed 7 years ago this week everything is down to me so it's not possible.
On the plus side I have lost 38lbs, so I can look in the mirror & start to see I am on the right path - changed outlook as need to be as healthy as possible for as long as possible for children.
Lots of love to those dealing with cancer & other health issues.
When my LH was diagnosed I remember thinking people judged far to easily when they have no idea what is going on behind closed doors

My own anxiety/mental health, I would stop comfort eating, id have the courage to deal with problems and I would go out and socialize with people instead of being a hermit. I wouldn't be afraid of confrontation or men and think everyone thinks I'm ugly. If I could fix my own head I could fix alot of problems.

Have you thought about having a worry (or communication) box? Sometimes some children/teens find it hard to approach an adult and say what is bothering them. Sometimes it can be easier to write it down. He can then post any worries that he has in the box when you’re not present. You can then read them when he’s not there before tackling the worry/issue.

My problems are nothing compared to some of these. But currently - lack of scope for progression in my career, difficult relationship with DH, trying to lose weight, money worries.

fucking neighbours who think it is ok to blast loud basey music at 6.45 am on a Sunday🙄

My ex husband. I despise him with every fibre of my being.

Realising that my in-laws don’t give a shit about me and will never really make an effort to get to know me. I’m just around when I am and if I get hit by a car the. They’ll just roll onwards without a second glance.

Facing taking my husband to court for domestic abuse, planning the divorce and trying to keep my head above water. All while grieving what is lost (or was never there).

Alot of work places don't have sick pay, mine included. You only get the statutory which is hardly anything so if you want to survive financially you have to use your A/L.

A 15 month old who won’t eat due to food aversions (due to long history of reflux, food allergies and intolerances). Currently working with a feeding specialist and a nutritionist and hoping things will get better but god, it’s crushing my soul.

As long as they don't disable help or not allow your phone so you can't use Google you will be fine. It's much easier than it used to be. Good luck.

Grief, but I know it's best gone through and not just taken away.

I've lost my way with my career, left a horrendous permanent job to do interim/ contract work which meant swapping one stress for another really although I don't regret leaving the permanent job. But it means I'm having to pick up anything and can't plan.

My dad has gone senile and fallen out with the entire family, his wife ( my step mum) is encouraging this to get us step kids out of the way as she's weirdly possessive of him.

Apart from that, mustn't grumble!

Do you mind me asking how old your daughter is App13? My friend’s daughter didn’t speak until age 4. She is now 5 and talks fluently in sentences. My friend also used to worry endlessly. Things can change quickly, App13 🌺

That sounds awful. I'm so sorry you have to live like that. As another UK national married to a German living in his country, I couldn't imagine how I'd feel if DH refused to come back with me in an extreme case of war / feeling unsafe.

Multiple Sclerosis, how my life has changed on just about every level. Fed up of always saying I am fine, when I am not.

I have an interview with an Excel test on Tuesday… but I only have rudimentary knowledge of how to use it! Have been trying to learn basics over weekend 😬.

I have other problems/worries but this is the pressing one today.

Having two parents with Alzheimer's and Dementia, having to manage their lives alongside my own, dealing with ever increasing chaos and demands, feeling absolutely consumed by it all

My elderly parents. They are in fine fettle at the moment but I worry all the time about their future. Worry about what will happen if they decline, what will happen when one dies, how I would care for them because I just can't imagine how I will do that.

Anxiety and loneliness triggered by perimenopause and 3 key bereavements in 6 months
Now left with very small family and its scary

My pure OCD. It rules my life. Every ache and pain makes my mind panic that I’m dying. I have a lot of aches and pains due to auto immune issues so this panic happens multiple times a day. Trying to find the correct therapy is hard because I also have complex PTSD and suspected BPD and can become unstable easily. I would just like my mind to shut up.

Having a young adult child who is frequently suicidal.
