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

My DP and the pressure arising circumcision for our DS. I am terrified for him and don't know what to do. I can't really see any way around it, even if I do leave him, which I would if it guaranteed it wouldn't be happening. It's meant to be a milestone in certain cultures, but it makes me feel ill as I know my son will be scared and not trust me 😭

My daughters’ health problems ☹️

I'm at least 6 stone heavier than I'd like to be. Went to the Dr last week for an NHS check up (I'd never heard of one previous to being invited), and they weighed me. I'm tall, and a size 16, even so, I was in shock. I need a huge amount of fat to be gone, however I'm currently only able to do 1 day in the gym per week 😢😢😢

Lom92 I did not see your post and would not have posted about my trivial problem in comparison. I am so sorry for the stress you and your family are enduring.

Dislike the person who will probably be my future daughter inlaw. Feel sad as I know it's not my choice but things could've been so different for ds.

I’ve name changed for this. It’s so not a problem in real terms but I have a massive crush on my osteo. He’s just very easy to talk to (and yes, I know that’s his job). It’s just frustrating because why can’t I meet a lovely man like him in the real world instead of in a scenario where it’s entirely impossible? To all my friends, I say I’m unfussed by meeting someone. Really, I want to. It’s easier to pretend I’m good being single when there’s no potential!

Sending love xx

God I’m so sorry xx

• being in an abusive relationship
• feel emotionally too weak to leave
• due to the above my self esteem is at rock bottom
• bored with my job
• in my thirties and don't own a home

On the other hand, I'm really trying to see the positives in my life/each day

• I have 2 beautiful children
• I have my health
• my job could be worse and I have the ability to progress (if I could afford to restrain)
• I have a lovely family (just unfortunate they live far away).

It's nothing compared to some on this thread, but our flat is neither habitable nor saleable due to storm damage last year, and our baby is due in June.

It may Autumn before we're able to move back in and then we'll have to try and sell it and secure a bigger mortgage while balancing maternity leave and childcare costs.

I'm so grateful that we're healthy and safe, but I so wish we had our own home (rather than a temporary rented place) to prepare and take our baby home to.

Sorry, my msg is to Iom92

The pain in your few words is heartbreaking, I’m so sorry for you and your child. Can’t do anything for you but sending hugs. x

Debt

I'm sorry to hear that HesterPricess.
My dad is very sick at the moment and I really love him the way you describe.
My mother was never a good mother and im not the golden child either, I'm finding it very difficult to relate to her.
I don't know what to say, I completely understand the way you feel.

I am very sorry about your loss x

I have nothing to add to all of these posts as you all have such awful things to contend with, and I am sorry for that. life is so Very cruel, and so very short.
I wish we could all be kinder and just treat each other with respect and empathy. I have the usual problems but nothing can compare to some of the problems raised on here. I will think about these posts so that I am more greatful for all the things I do have. Thanks to everyone for sharing these heartbreaking posts.

I especially want to say how sorry I am to @Iom92 as a parent this would be my biggest fear.

My 32 year old sister has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Terrified of losing her, anticipatory grief is weighing me down. Terrified of what it will do to my parents

My heart is breaking for you all kind of sorry I stumbled on this thread as it is upsetting, I want to banish each and everyone of your worries, pains, financial challenges, health issues.( If only I could)

Right now things are fairly ok with me and mine had a few rocky years, deaths, miscarriage, marriage breakdown ( blessing really as ex was abusive), family suicide, money worries.

I will keep you all in my prayers tonight and in the coming days, hope life becomes kinder and more gentle to each of ye.

🙏🏻🕯️💐

@daisypond what a lot you have on your plate 💐 wishing you and your DH good healing and everyday joys.

Balancing completing my Masters degree with working in a FT senior role that whilst being high paying and being mostly home based, I don’t particularly enjoy due to the company culture, some members of the management team and just not feeling like I have the opportunity to stretch and grow.

Add into the mix 3 large dogs (including a recently adopted rescue dog) to care for, a house that needs some maintenance work doing and seems to constantly dirty from dog hair and muddy paw marks on the floors and a DH who works long hours in a stressful, physically demanding job but is quite needy of my time and attention and can be sometimes dismissive of my workload and unrealistic with expectations as I work from home.

But all pales into comparison versus the current torture of being an Evertonian. Going the match with my Dad is my outlet. But between terrible performances, another relegation fight, a points deduction (with another looming), a disengaged owner and a takeover bid from questionable investors that’s taken months and still isn’t finalised with the resulting threat of administration, the thing I would normally do for fun has turned into the most depressing and stressful thing in my life.

At least we managed a win today….our first in 4 months 🙄 Come On You Blues!! 💙

I'm seriously unwell with multiple health problems that have rendered me housebound and needing help to care for my SEN child. It's utterly terrifying and miserable. I used to worry about silly things like appearance and then this became my reality.
I know it's all relative btw and that isn't a dig at others.

My broken marriage that I’m too scared to leave because I can’t contemplate not seeing my daughter every day

My child has cancer.

Oh shit. Crying reading all the posts and hidden hurt. Last year I was misprescribed medication which brought on heart failure symptoms, so I pretty much thought I was dying. By the time the error was found months later, I was up 5 stone on my already heavy frame. I have lost my mobility and the medication had turned me into a mental zombie and I haven’t regained full cognition or memory

Don’t worry about wat the neighbours might or mightn’t think, could yu get a pallet or two and strip timber lats off it but few nails and put them up temporarily.

wishing you the best of luck

God, it’s so crazy that we don’t reach out to one another more. Why aren’t we kinder to one another? So many people are so unhappy and f-ed up and heartbroken (and I include myself).
