Is life just unbelievably stressful for anybody else at the moment?

God, I'm exhausted with it all.

DDs dad has just been sent to prison (yesterday). I'd kinda been hoping he would, as he has a pretty extreme level of paranoia and obsession about me. Restraining order has just ran out, so he's back to his usual behaviour. Severe mental illness. He's a violent, drug addict criminal and definitely needs to be in prison. But I wouldn't be surprised if he kills himself. I feel for him (though I can't stand him) as the vast majority of his issues are caused by the mental illness. I loved him and had a child with him. Only person I've ever loved. Everyone's laughing like I should be celebrating but I just wish he could sort himself out, for himself and primarily for my DD. And my DD is going to grow up with a dad in prison. What does that do to a kid?! She does love him very much (even though she only sees him at a contact centre).

The landlords of the place I live are coming to visit first thing tomorrow. There is some (what looks like) water damage to the cupboards. I reported it in September; nothing was done. The estate agent is coming too - presumably to stop me telling them that. The kitchen fitter came to take a look last week - he said he has no idea how it happened. I said I always have the extractor fan on and the little window open. He said they built it on the cheap and the extractor fan doesn't really extract. But still - it's a bit mental that condensation has caused this. I have no idea. I've looked after the place well for three years. It sounds like they're gonna chuck us out. We'll probably end up in a homeless hostel/ B&B if they do. Though I have an ok job and a degree. Lived in a homeless hostel whilst I was pregnant and got my door regularly kicked in for a few quid. Can't imagine my three yo living there.

I didn't sleep at all last night stressing about it all. I'm getting over the most horrific bug and took a day off work last week (practically forced into it by my boss - I said I'd try to come in and he said no way). A different boss has been all snarky about it all day; even taking offence to me coughing Hmm

DDs not well now either. I have a shit ton of cleaning to do - we share a room and I need to get it sorted before she needs to go to bed. It's messy. I work so much and the house isn't presentable (though isn't dreadful - nicely decorated and the kitchen and bathroom are spotless, just our room can get in a bit of state because I don't have much time to clean it as can't do it when she's in bed obviously). But just lying here crying 😭

I've been through much shitter times. But I'm so overwhelmed today.

Anybody else feeling like 2019 isn't bringing anything but humungous stress?

So many shitty things keep happening it seems rarely a week goes by without something. Six deaths including my mother's, a stabbing, a marriage breakup, domestic abuse and family court, a heart attack and a brain hemorrhage all since this the last year happening to family and close friends.

Yes. I'll join the pity party. Just discovered symptoms of a serious illness this evening that I've had before - serious as in life threatening. That is worrying symptoms of a previously diagnosed condition. Don't even know what to do.

Who do I even call? I'm not in massive pain. Last time I called 111 they gave out to me for always calling them (for different reasons).
So damned tired.
