Well this is a cheery thread, isn't it?!... 🚪💨

Oh bore off. You could tell by the title of the thread what it was about. The people who have posted on here (the vast majority of whom are having a really Shit Time), don't need your sarcasm. Go off and find a bridge to guard.

I was going to say the same... I carry spare trousers with me all the time just in case.
I also know that people who work in Wetherspoons are decent people (let you use the loo) and people who work in Starbucks are not!

I am definitely the pads and spare knickers type of person. I also have ridiculous ibs/d which has left me embarrassed before, but as you’ve found, people are super kind for the most part.

Palls into insignificance against the major heath problems above and so first world but my house gives me endless stress as I don't have enough money to keep up with the maintenance.

99% sure I'm in peri or full menopause at age 34 due to an operation I had which ruined my ovaries. Struggling with the symptoms, plus sad because I can't have another baby.

Reading this and doing an extra count up of my blessings. Sending love and hope for improving circumstances to posters with health and money issues.

Put on a big tena, say fuck it and carry on. Think about what the worst that happens? You pee in a pad, go for a walk and come back. No one will know or care and you’ll build up your tolerance. It’ll feel uncomfortable but you can do uncomfortable things.

My husband has lost his job and we soon won’t be able to afford the mortgage if he doesn’t get another one soon which is proving difficult

I can't leave the house as every time I try, I feel like I'm going to wet myself.

If anyone has been through this, please send ideas to break the cycle!

Stage 4 cancer, advanced osteoarthritis, severe degenerative disc disease, worry about my cat’s health, worry about disability benefits, worry about the world and all the horrible people running it into the ground and ruining humanity.

Apart from that I’m fine.

I'm on sick leave with exhaustion and probably won't go back 😒
I have nerve pain in my face, the side effects of the medication are grim

Being diagnosed with unexplained infertility after 2 years TTC and not really wanting to do IVF, but only having a year left of that option.

Everyone is allowed to point their own problems.

It is not a competition to see who has the worst thing going on.

This is completely unfair. What that poster saying was actually really kind.

Parent with terminal cancer.

Other parent with dementia.

Sibling with mental health problems.

Job that I am struggling with, nice team but horrific shift pattern and repeated exposure to sadness and trauma. Important work - wonder if I am good enough to manage it as well as it needs to be done
Trying to get started as self employed - really struggling.

Oh and perimenopausal so sky high anxiety to help with all of the above.
My heart goes out to some of the posters here. Life is hard, hang in there xx

Nothing in comparison to what some people on this thread are going through but Dp who spent 2 years "looking for a job" lost it after 3 months and now back to playing computer games all day. He says he is looking for work and I feel bad for constantly nagging at him but im starting to look at him differently (cocklodger territory) and for the first time I'm seriously questioning if we have a future together because i didn't sign up for this.

angelos02 · 16/07/2025 15:42

I was about to post something but my 'woes' are nothing compared to most of the posts on here. Thank you - it has put things into perspective.

Redburnett · 16/07/2025 15:41

Working through all the 'stuff' from clearing parents' house. It has at least made me realise the importance dealing with my own stuff so my DC are not lumbered with it (although they would probably just hire a skip).
