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

I’ve got a lump in my boob and a hospital appointment about it tomorrow.
I’m stressed to the max and expecting the worst

My Mum has been diagnosed with dementia and I am getting kicked out of my home with nowhere to go and I am thousands of pounds in debt.

How incredibly shockingly awful for you but amazing that you’ve come through. You’ve survived so much. I’m glad you have peace at last

DD aged 13 self-harming and suicidal.

Sorry this was for @MaMisled

This is a heartbreaking thread. I'm so sorry. All of you deserve so much better.

I am up to my eye balls in debt. Massively so. .a single parent who works full time in a very demanding job (good money. But as a single parent it's ways below average household income). I don't have enough money to see me through to Monday. I am seriously stressing. Credit card is maxed out and been stopped. eldest DD is autistic and she will spiral if I take away or stop her hobby (which has caused most of the debt) and I'm totally conflicted. I literally can't afford to buy food. I will get by! We will eat the content of the cupboards. But even they are not full anymore! I hate being on my own as I don't get the opportunity to share the burden of this.. both financially but also the stress of it all!

Plus my chronic health condition is getting much worse but I am ignoring it. Have been for at least a decade and I'm starting to feel it niggle. My blood pressure is through the roof. Also been ignoring that for over 6 months. When I say chronic-it is life threatening.

So I just need a mega rich partner who like middle aged, fat, depressed, skint with no way out other than a bloke (fucking hell!) to help me. It is a fucking bloke that caused all this! I mean on a day to day basis I am over the horrific year that he cheated and left me with an micro preemie (29 weeker and under 2lbs) and an autistic 4 year old. But honestly, I'll never get over that. I have learnt that I am strong and resilient. But I'm now still in a fucking mess. He deserves a fuck load of pain.. when is that going to happen??? Cunt married the other woman and holidays multiple times a year. Bahamas last year!

The things that make it worth while? My amazing daughters. Immensely proud. They've both achieved more than the majority (they have. That's not me being a twat! They are European finalists in their sport!). They have their own health battles but even though we spend a lot of time sniping at each other, we are extremely close.

I'm worried now they are older, their dad's money means more than my sacrifices. I see signs. And that is breaking me.

Chronic invisible illness and pain. Very close relative with alzeihmers and not sure how long they have left and we live in a different country, thankfully both UK but factor busy jobs two children under 6 it's difficult to navigate.

Sorry to see everyone else's troubles.

DH got made redundant over a year ago and no new job since. He got a good payoff by we've been living on savings for the last 3 months. I'm self employed and my earnings only pay for extras for the kids. Doesn't touch the mortgage.

Dd1's best friend has been self harming and has developed an eating disorder. While i'm so sad and worried for the friend, my DD has been taking on the emotional burden for months and I'm so worried about the stress she has been under. She's only 14.

My parents are elderly and while currently in good health require alot of TLC.

I'm perimenopausal and feeling the pressure of making sure every other person in my life is ok, without anyone checking in on me. I'm generally feeling quite resentful about life but then i feel guilty when so many others are having an even worse time.

They do ❤️, mine are 10 and 7.

❤️ to you and your kids

A foot that is in compression had an unwarranted surgery by the receiving of notes but I’m no surgeon.

I keep being told told how I must have missed an insect bite, little cut but I remember none of these. I wanted a drink on the Tuesday after Easter Monday, thinking I’d finally sorted the gynae problem out, 24 hours before life changed and I’d feel ill needing surgery by the end of that weekend.

The last 12 weeks have been a complete battle. Hilarious to some so I wish them well.

Trying to get an appointment with the GP.

I lost my Dad 3 years ago, very abruptly, and since then I struggle with the meaning of life. I appear 'normal' day to day but I have lost my spark for anything. I am quietly grieving and don't think I'll ever get over it. I just don't find anything interesting other than spending time with my children and doing things for them. I don't care about anything, but pretend to otherwise friends and family would intervene. It's like I'm a bit dead inside myself, hard to explain, like I have changed forever as a person which sounds dramatic but it's how I feel and I can't share with anyone in RL.

Keep crying randomly and feel really sad out of nowhere

I have two cars. They both failed their mots. One is going to cost over £1000 to be fixed, one is going to cost £2500 and that one might not even still pass as it also has a electrical fault which there not sure if they can fix, if not, automatic fail again.
Oh and I work 50 minutes away from where I live, rural place no buses/trains and no one who I work with lives near me to give me a lift.
no car = no work
no work = no money to even try get one car fixed
life’s great 🙃

Family relationships have broken down, and no one wants to get professional help.

Finding the money for DS uni accommodation when the letting agent / landlord wants £5500 before maintenance loan comes in mid sept.

DS can’t get a job to help as we can’t afford so much money up front.

Ditto. My kids are 17.5 and 20. They bloody need us, our kids ❤️

Huge stressful renovation. I'm paying for it all, he isn't. Worried I'm wasting my money. Me and DP arguing all the time. First world problems compared to most on here.

You can do this. I did. Good luck 🤞

Sold husbands unneeded work stuff on ebay at huge loss and now have to pay huge income tax and penalties just because they are clasified as goods. Didn't realise you have to declare things sold online. Offs my own fault. Also, can't write them off as dont have receipts anymore 🙄 financially ruined by hmrc for selling our own stuff that we paid for. Be careful people!

I’m so sorry for the loss of your boys. Sending lots of healing love

We are nearing retirement and I am worried about money.

My heart goes out to each and everyone who is suffering with all these desperately difficult situations ❤️

I've got cancer and am terrified my children will grow up without a mother.

Yep, same. Do you have any idea why she’s behaving like this?
I suspect my DD has some form of ND but she refuses to explore this. She has always been unable to see anyone else’s POV, but for some reason has focused all her negative views on me. It’s so upsetting.
