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?

BobbyBiscuits · 06/04/2024 19:41

Feeling frumpy and ugly at 30, it will only get much worse, lol!?
Right now I guess fear for my mum's health.
Other than that I'm really lucky. Roof over my head, not dying imminently, can afford to feed myself.
My looks are something I've realised are simply unimportant. If your body works, that's the most relevant thing.

My mum died recently, I wish I could speak to her one more time. She was my world and I feel so sad my heart keeps hurting like a physical pain

Theoriginalmrscillianmurphy · 06/04/2024 19:39

House repossession.

Diagnosed with breast cancer today and thinking the worst

One of my DC wants to go to Uni In London and am completely terrified. She's got into a fantastic uni and as we have been living overseas for many years in a very safe country, I really don't want her to go and am slowly trying to convince her to go to an excellent Uni in a safer area of the UK but she won't hear of it. The knife crime and crime rates are terrifying me - she's only 18, will be living on her own and has been living in a bubble for the last 18 years, not street wise at all. Trying to educate her but her positivity is so exhausting - really trying to navigate this without terrifying her.

This seems like a pathetic problem compared to those above I have just read. Am really feeling for everyone having a tough time.

@GreekGod London is actually really safe. Your dd is not any more likely to encounter crime in London than anywhere else. The knife crime you read about, while terrible, is not really random. I speak as a very protective mother of an 18 year old dd in London!

Rectal prolapse and being told there's not much I can do about it

No pension provision

Hrt no longer working

Big toe nail has fallen off so I've not only got a manky arsehole, but manky feet as well.

My little pot belly. 😔Hoping it disappears over the next couple of months!

WickedSerious · 06/04/2024 19:35

My son,it's always been my son.

Also the house still needs a ridiculous amount of work more than twenty years after we moved in.

I’ve had a horrible virus for three weeks that’s wasted a chunk of annual leave. That and the weather.

How come you're using annual leave for sick leave?

MissingMoominMamma · 06/04/2024 19:34

Money worries and the effect that that is having on DH.

ErinAoife · 06/04/2024 19:32

My life is a total failure,

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 06/04/2024 19:32

The amount of hair I've pulled out recently :(

Definitelylivedin · 06/04/2024 19:31

I'm suffering from withdrawal from Oxycodone. I've been on it for 3 months due to a bad dose of shingles. I've been reducing slowly but took my last dose yesterday.

I desperately want to change my job, I've been looking for 6 months now.

I don't want to swap my problem with others though. I don't live in a war zone, don't have cancer, quite like my body, and noone has died recently.

Money. Specifically not having enough. Not all of my problems would go away, but quite a few would and the others would diminish in debilitating impact on my life.

This!

BCBird · 06/04/2024 19:28

A big hand hold to you all.

Coconuthotchocolate · 06/04/2024 19:24

Constant injuries and pain for the last 2 years. Every time I am almost healed, another bastarding accident/set back befalls me.

Hatty65 · 06/04/2024 19:22

Ill health and money concerns mostly. And far too overweight.

alseb · 06/04/2024 19:21

There’s a saying if everyone threw their troubles up into the air you’d only want your own back. We are slowly as a family coming out of the most hideous 4 years. I wish you all peace.

freebeans · 06/04/2024 19:21

I desperately need to see a dentist. I have lots of problems with my teeth but my dental phobia is so severe that the idea of even just going for an examination seems like an impossibility. I've not been for an embarrassingly long time and it's at the point where it's a daily source of anxiety. It genuinely feels unsurmountable.

My DC's food allergy. It terrifies me that eating the wrong thing could be fatal. I feel like I've aged 10 years in the year since diagnosis.

@janeljl what food allergies do your children have? My daughter has a peanut allergy but has had successful immunotherapy treatment in the US. Message me if you're interested! She's 16 now but was diagnosed with food allergies (milk, egg etc) when she was very little and has always carried an epi-pen.

I used to be terrified also so I know how you feel.

Berlinlover · 06/04/2024 19:03

I have metastatic cancer.

Thepossibility · 06/04/2024 19:02

Woman at work. I had a bad feeling about her right from the start and I was right.

Allmyfavouritepeople · 06/04/2024 19:01

I'm in waiting mode to see if I get made redundant and if my OH will agree to let me move in (complicated situation). Until these things resolve I don't know which location to look for a new job or whether I even need to.

That's a problem. How is he not worried about the state of afairs?

Show quote history

He is, but i think it’s different for someone born here, their whole lives have been a war zone. I think he just feels that Jews would be unsafe everywhere so better here. Eventually I’ll have to find a way to convince him because I’m losing my mind.
