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

Starting a new role that both me and my company are excited about - managed two days then caught Covid and have had to take 3 weeks off to recover. I feel like the flakiest flake and that my new colleagues will judge me harshly. I’m due in tomorrow and still feel fatigued.

🤗

That must have been absolutely heartbreaking, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Money worries, drinking too much and HRT messing with my moods.

I have just posted about losing my mum too, sending you a big hug its absolutley soul destroying 💔

Currently battling my soon to be ex husband for my share of the equity in the family home. I moved out into rented accommodation late last year as I couldn't stand his controlling, cheating and narcissistic behaviour any longer. He has since moved his girlfriend in, and they are living mortgage free in a house that also belongs to me.

Grieving for my mum, it’ll be 5 years this November and i’m still just as bad as the week after I lost her, i’m not hysterically crying every minute but I don’t feel much better. I’ve been to therapy,took medication I just can’t get past it, I was 21 and I still need her

Missing my Mum who died in February. I can't see past the pain of her loss. Not eating. Not sleeping. Everyone saying she had a good long life, which she did, but she was my Mum & my life is empty without her 💔

I hear you. And it's so hard and no one understands. They think they do but unless they have it, the debilitating pain, the want to do so much but being unable to do sometimes the smallest thing and the tiredness. Hope you're OK x

War.

This.

I'm so sorry to all of you and some truly awful situations here.

Love the poster who said 'survive out of spite'. Absofarkinlutely.

My problems - significant credit card debt. Worries for my ASD child. Being main provider for household and getting older (47).

Money and being completely unfit yet also not doing anything about it

@LongLegSpider this sounds tough. Why can’t your DH do more?

Extreme harassment from my ex husband. One waiting for the police to look into the situation but right now it is all consuming and terrifying.

Having no help with DD (one year old) who is fussy and highly strung.

DH leaves me with the brunt of childcare on days DD is not at childcare. We both work but for me work never stops I am with DD all other times. I dream of a break especially on the weekend. I would LOVE help from my uninvolved parents, siblings or in-laws (my siblings (older) have no partners or kids). They know it’s hard for me but no one helps.

I’m guessing DD will eventually be a teenager and maybe finally I’ll get an hour to myself sometime over the next two decades.

My only problem is that I have developed an incurable physical disability which affects every single second and every minute and every hour of my life. This literally is the only problem I've got. In every other way I literally have the perfect life: I'm single, I own my own home, I run a small successful business, I have heaps of money in savings, my mental health is excellent, I'm very satisfied with my life.

I remember years ago hearing somebody say "if you don't have your health then you've got nothing" and now I have found that that is true.

I can’t lose weight. No matter what I try it’s always the same 4-6kg.
No I also have an illness that takes recovery time and reduces my mobility. Due to my illness I had to cancel a holiday abroad and probably will lose some money.

My DS hates me and has no contact, takes presents I send for her kids and doesn’t send a thanks. No text when I was in hospital sick.

Griefing for a recently deceased grandparent who I loved so much. She died in so much pain and agony for weeks, it was so awful. An end she didn’t deserve.

so grateful my DC are happy and healthy and we can afford nice things and holidays.

Arthritis and limited mobility. I'm only 43 but I feel about 100. I used to be so fit and active and now my life is so small. I feel depressed.

My new job. It’s awful 😢

Infertility.

The way it takes over your life. The way it consumes you. The way it changes you so completely that you fear you’ll never be who you once were. The constant heartache. Fear. Underlying sadness and anxiety that sits with you everyday. The constant masking when someone else just happened to fall pregnant by accident. How it’s so difficult to explain to someone who has never been through it. How it just doesn’t get any better or easier as the years go by.

I would never wish this on anyone.

To Theshirespace Have you seen a doctor for peri menopause as hrt will help with your mood and help to make things better. Don't suffer in silence and get the help you need. Sending best wishes to all going through difficult times and feeling bleak.

I've been ill pretty much constantly for the last few months. Just want to be healthy and well and enjoy life.
I hate my job.

My cat was run over a couple of years ago and it broke my heart. I still think about him everyday. A death of a pet is horrible.

Weight and the sense that I’ve totally lost myself. I’m early 50s (undiagnosed) ADHD which is driving me crazy also pretty sure I’ve passed this on to my DC. 🙈Hate my house, unfulfilled by my job and feel like I’ve nothing in common with anyone I know anymore.

i know I sound like an awful & ungrateful and I wish I could just feel better.
