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

You need to talk to your DD about this!

We’ve been in the same situation for 12 years with my autistic son. It’s a life a wouldn’t wish on anyone. Having an addicted child who uses because he can’t cope with the difficulties he experiences being autistic , it’s a life of pure raw grief and absolute terror.

About to have my third general anaesthetic since 10th March on either Monday or Wednesday of next week (on trauma list so awaiting confirmation of which day). Have been unable to drive for almost a year due to wrist injury which is also stopping me from being able to get my hearing aids in, so can’t hear. My husband is awaiting delivery of his first wheelchair and I’m worried I won’t get functional back in my wrist to be able to support him.
Also have a hospital appointment in 2 weeks for multiple large uterine fibroids.
All whilst working, parenting twin teens and perimenopause.

I’m tired.

Getting over cancer treatment and my dad's unexpected death last year. His birthday soon

Teen daughter on her 5th psychiatric inpatient admission in four years in a hospital nearly 50 miles away. Discharged last month after a 5 month stay and within two weeks was blue lighted twice after serious attempts to end her life. Very lucky she is still alive. Has since been blue lighted whilst an inpatient for blood loss after secreting sharps on to the ward. Constantly fighting with the LA/NHS/ICB to get the right support in place, whilst essentially have to live in a sterile, secure prison. Elder daughter in total autistic burnout after awful year at uni, eldest son struggling after break up of a three year relationship. Constantly borrowing on credit cards to pay bills as I’m unable to work whilst caring for daughter 24/7 and husband is severely disabled. Family completely uninterested.

Reading these makes me realise I have no problems really.

Was going to say- Perimenopausal, permanently tired and grumpy! Know I should exercise but can’t be bothered!

Me and DH both turn 50 in the next 6 months, and our poor self-care, physically (apart from 4 years when SW worked for us) is catching up with us.

Having done it once (lost weight), I should be able to do it again but I am dreading it yet I hate being nearly 20 stone and barely able to walk from car park into city for some shopping without wondering when the next rest is and being pissed off that clothes shopping is impossible at this size.

Buying a house and going through the process, while hating my job that is helping me to the house

This sounds like me

The thought of reform getting in. It will be the end of Britain.

Loneliness and grieving after a passing.
The only person I saw was my long term cleaner who has left for a full time job.
Now I see no one and dont really want to, but she was saving me from total loneliness.

myself! I make other people’s problems my problems so am consequently constantly exhausted by my own doing!

Oh my son's was BAD, poo'd absolutely massive poos when he did go from not going so long that he screamed and cried.

Movicol saved us!

Went to see a private Dr in the end, cost me £25 for the prescription but then went to my GP and he prescribed it.

If you haven't tried it yet 🤞it works for you too!

I seem to be collecting autoimmune diseases at an alarming rate at the moment. DP will not accept help for his mental health but he is supporting me with my MH but I am getting help it's just taking forever for team A and Team B to talk and act as 1 team. But we will get there eventually I hope lol.

The 2K debt hole covid left me in, was originally half that,every single penny after rent goes into it, but the baskets just demand more and more and add fees etc, been the cause of so much stress and worry, and missing meals. If that wasn't there life would be so enjoyable in this sunshine!

My biggest problems pale to insignificance in the light of what some people are experiencing. I can barely bring myself to mention them … they’re more concerns. My two DDs are 16 & 15. I home educate, so getting them through their GCSE’s and keeping them motivated. They both have ASD and being neurotypical it can be a struggle.

Grieving for my BFF who was cruelly taken away from me.

Debilitating anxiety but dosnt seems right saying it with some of the heartbreaking problems I've read.

I need a new bathroom. I can afford the bathroom, not the £6-£12,000 I've been quoted to fit it.

Seriously.

I sat in Easy Bathrooms for an hour or so, designing a bathroom. Didn't know about fittings so I threw in some expensive ones, I could always revise down, right?

£4500.

Not bad! Got excited! Especially when they said the tiles were free!

Quote me up a large one I said!

£12,000 to fit.

Dealing with an abusive and controlling exH and his new GF

Caring for one son with additional needs whilst trying to support the other who doesn’t want anything to do with his dad (abusive exH)

Trying to save up enough to put down a house deposit after being screwed over in the divorce and losing our home

Absolutely drowning at work in a job I hate

Constantly worrying about finances, not being good enough and losing my kids.

Im an anxious wreck and barely sleep, 90% of my problems would be gone if ex just left me alone.

Got made redundant five weeks ago and the job market is really slow. Thankfully, money is taken care of, but I really feel like I need to be back in work. 😢

Also the middle of doing a second level 5 course, which I started days after I got made redundant and the first assignment is now due 🙈

My husband is severely depressed and suicidal. When he leaves the house I wonder if it’s the last time I will kiss him goodbye 😢

Does hubby need car to get to/from work so he can pay for a new bathroom???

Father has terminal cancer, my mum is 80 so struggling. My husband (who I wanted to divorce in 2022… was then diagnosed with prostate cancer) 3 years in he has more health issues too and very unwell (no other family or friends. I was bullied out of my job (NHS) zero support and basically now a carer for my dad (which I would not begrudge him at all) and everyone else.. oh yes mortgage company being ‘unhelpful’..

Waiting 18 weeks to see gastro as I may have something called Bile Acid Malabsorption. It causes you to soil yourself as the urgency comes from nowhere. It’s severely restricting my life and any small outing has to be planned around toilets. I’ve had to give up work.
