Just that really... mine is that I feel frumpy and ugly. Having always been tiny, I've gotten to 30 and I suddenly just feel disgusted with what I see any time someone takes a photo of me. If you could click your fingers and remove a problem you have, what would it be?

Trying to get a specialist school for my autistic dd12 who hasn't been in school since November and knowing she's highly unlikely to get a place due to high demand and lack of places.

I am waiting for the police and the CPS to get their arses into gear and decide whether the van driver who killed my DM by reversing over her will be prosecuted or not. I've been waiting since September and I can't move forward.

I pray that justice will prevail 🙏🏻❤️‍🩹

@RobertaFirmino I am so sorry about your DM. I can’t believe you’re still waiting to hear about a prosecution.

LawrieForShepherdsBoy · 28/06/2024 17:29

@CalmFox sorry to hear about your parents. Mine both also have dementia and it’s hard to explain the impact it’s had on me.

Both parents with dementia, one lives in a carehome 3 hours away, the other is in the early stages but lives close by.

Being autistic.

Just been told I need 3 surgeries, the last one being HUGE (think 5 days in ITU and at least two weeks in hospital).

Losing my ex-partner to suicide at the age of 24, a few weeks after we broke up and a few days after he saw me with my now DH. I knew he was depressed and I didn’t have the emotional intelligence to take it seriously. I found it annoying and an inconvenience and told him he was “mental”.

We lived in a small university city at the time and the last time I saw him I was holding hands with DH on our second date and I just walked right past him and blanked him.

I know the outcome would have been different if I’d acted differently during that couple of months and had some understanding and empathy.

That feeling of yearning for someone and wanting to go back in time and live life again and do things differently. All the things I desperately want to say but can’t. The angst of knowing the moment has gone and there is nothing I can do and his life and essence are gone. The guilt and pain for his lovely parents who have lost everything and knowing how different their lives could have been. Having to bury it in the back of my mind and live my life and pretend everything’s fine when he’s always there.

You need to forgive yourself darling.

No one knows what other people are actually capable of.
Its one thing saying it, another actually going through with it and most people who are successful, well you would never have known they were on that tragic path.
I know it may feel different because you said that you were lacking in compassion when he saw you with your now DH, but you didn’t kill him. You really didn’t.
His mental health did that. Not you. x

Fucking hip problem after knee replacement.
Really painful and I'm terrified I might need further surgery.

Wondering whether today will be the day that my DS has a successful suicide attempt.

No words really other than I’m sorry you’re going through this, and your DS.
I hope he finds peace in his own mind soon

I’m a single parent (have been since birth of my child) and I’m disabled and deal with severe, debilitating chronic pain each day. My son is also on the spectrum and is very hyperactive and the combination of being in pain and not getting a break from having to do everything - I’m just very overwhelmed and depressed if I’m being honest.

Your not alone. Same circumstances and my audhd hasn't been to school either since Sept. 😔 it is soul destroying

Badgerandfox227 · 27/06/2024 19:45

Employment uncertainty for me, waiting for a restructure to be communicated at work 😕

Going through an expensive divorce, which my stbxh has lied his way through and rewritten history. Having to fight for what I deserve. Been told it'll cost more to prove his income, which he has been hiding.

Stbxh also took our dogs and hasn't let me see them for over 2 years.

My dd20 has anorexia and bulimia, alongside ocd. Autistic and adhd traits which are being investigated. Life is very tough for her and it kills me that I can't help her.

I have no friends at all.

I have very few relatives, and the ones I do have aren't interested.

My job and career are at risk due to me forgetting to update my registration. I'm now under investigation without pay. I can't get look for another job because I can't get my registration back until the investigation is complete. It hasn't even started yet and I have no date for it or even a timeframe.

I'm at risk of losing my home due to no income.

I'm in a relationship which I've realised has no future.

My Mh is in my boots and all of the above is making me feel like a failure. Have struggled with my Mh for many years. I've been intrigued by the recent news story of the lady in the Netherlands...

I've been struggling with pain since a car accident (minor bump) which triggered off an old injury. On 5 different types of painkillers each day, including morphine tablets, but I'm still restricted daily.

I know it's not a race to the bottom, sorry for the long post.

I'm really sorry you are going through such a horrible time. I hope things get better for you x

@speakout I am so sorry. I've been there and won't post my one now. I really hope you get to the point where you no longer worry as your ds is well.

Money. Mortgage deal about to run out and am anxious about the probable increase in monthly payments.

Can’t imagine how hard things must be for you. Feeling sad on your behalf that the universe choose to dump this on your family.
