God I’m so fucking depressed today. Come and join me for a whinge

[Alltneteabagshavegone]

Ah I’m sick of this BS now. Sick of the kids pissing each other off. Sick of my dd3 fake cry when she wants to get her sister in trouble. Sick of the amount of fucking washing I have because both you get Dds get changed multiple times a day.

Sick of cleaning the same fucking area every day. Sick of visiting the same fucking parks, sick of having to pay a fortune to take the kids some where different. Sick of staying up really late just to claw back some precious alone time with out people talking at me.

I actually feel a smidge better after writing all that

userxx Yes.. he went out to Oz just before lockdown... which given he's been waiting nearly a year for a couple's visa, was lucky... but.. he and his fiancee can't come back for his sisters wedding (he's best man and playing the first dance!) which is shit... and he's so so far away and knowing we CAN'T see him for the forseeable is just rubbish.

I’m in miserable bastard mode today and I’ve had a good cry.

My boyfriend has received a date for his surgery, next Tuesday, we’re meant to be going on our first holiday together next week. Hes booked himself a flight for Monday, he is going to have a long recovery with intense physio so we don’t know when he will be declared fit to fly back, then he’ll have to quarantine somewhere for two weeks.

I know he needs the surgery and I have no issue with that, but he’ll be alone in his recovery.

Feel exactly the same way, sick to fucking death of it all, desperately want a holiday.

Thank you for the invite to whinge OP I very much needed this thread! Grounding day/hour/ and minute I hear you all loud and clear. I used to dread and struggle through the 6 week ho ls at the best of times and feel for all with young kids. Agree with the poster who said at first it was a novelty (albeit a grim one) so we were running on adrenaline but now it's just the same depressing uncertain shit every day and we're all done with it. Booking a day out is a feat in itself and the NT place we got to the other day felt like one of those abandoned towns you see in sci fi/horror movies....signs of staff having been there but no bugger about. And Don t get me started on going on the same shifty local walks, our local beauty spot is a haven for drug dealers and murderers whilst we were there the dope were looking for a criminal. Add to that my fecking mobile company have sent me a SIM card which I hadn't asked for which makes my phone invalid but of course there's no easy way of getting customer Service. Thank you ohneuroticmum though, I am sorry for your suffering but your your phrase borderline useless DH had fears (of laughter) coming down my cheeks......

Bloody ipad....'dope' should be 'cop's and 'fears' should be 'tears'

My whine-ing isn't a big thing. Had two bad days at work - one of the doors was not working so had to phone maintenance (off site). It is in a hospital and is the main entrance/exit so rather important! People trying to get out, people delivering food to wards. Everyone shouting/screaming at me how important they are and should be let out!

Everything went from bad to worse. I was on the phone for ages to a maintenance guy and he had to repeat everything because the staff/visitors and some patients woul dnot shut up with the shouts and screams to be let out/let in. Anyway, when I finished the call someone complained that a consultant could not get through with a change of the rota. I had already had a call fromm someone else about it. I am on my own so ther is now guarantee about being answered when you want to be! Busy Switchboard and all. Anyway by the time I left I was not a happy bunny. I forgot to wear a mask on the bus until I was nearly home! The bus driver must have took one look at my face and thought better of pointing out I needed a mask! It was only when a lady was looking round (to get her bearings , it reminded me!). I had to have a Vienetta all to myself to cheer me up when I got home!

Sadly the next day things escalated for the other receptionists!

I am hoping for a quieter afternoon!

Yes, all things considered, at least I do have (part time) job but some days are better than others!

I woke up full of enthusiasm to get shit done today only to be confronted with the reality that is my children and I've done not a lot

So fucking down the last 2 weeks.
My kids are adults 18 & 21 & the poor 21yo found me in floods of tears last week screaming ‘ I just want someone to do something for ME !!!! ‘ - not my finest moment.
Fucking rude ‘Rev’ been in Johnston’s Dry Cleaner family since 2018 -
Hi I’ve come to pick up some dry cleaning
I just need your name
Do you need the ticket ?
No just your name
Frank
5 minutes of huffing from him trying to find the stuff - I give him the ticket
Blankets why didn’t you say ?
Because you didn’t ask ?
Go to pay in cash because I’m picking them up for someone else
Can’t you pay with your card ?
No I can’t because as I’ve said 3 x I’m picking them up for someone else
Well there’s no float in the till
And ?

Not had a single day off in 6 weeks

My car is having a MOT next week & I know it’s going to fail

I work in a pub at the weekends - it’s absolutely dead & will probably close before Christmas

My boss text me this morning at 7 to inform me she is going on holiday today so I’ll have to take over - hope that’s ok ? WTAF am I supposed to say ?

I could go on ....

Forgot to say, pre-covid I was pro going to the shops rather than internet. I do not believe I want to go in to the shops ever again! I hate being herded about!

And further to my earlier rant, DS is cooking dinner

He's 16 and has always reasonably enjoyed cooking, but lockdown seems to have really piqued his interest. In a cruel twist of fate, I also love cooking and have been looking forward to making tonight's dish. As a kind and supportive parent I will relinquish control of the kitchen, but quite frankly why can't he have developed an interest in mopping floors or ironing?

I lost the plot today. I have a 1 and 4 year old and I’m fed up of the house being constantly trashed. I was just getting to the point where I’d be have been happy to leave the baby overnight when lockdown happened. I haven’t had a break from the children and I’m just broken down now. The children just trash the house, trying to work while entertaining a toddler is horrendous and my husband is a lazy git who just sticks the children in front of the tv for his childcare time and does bugger all around the house. Rainy days are always harder but I’m knackered and fed up.

I have been doing the 16/8 fasting and i have lost some weight.But over the weekend that went out the window.

And im just pissed off all my good work went out the window.

I'm having an ugh fuckitall day. My bestie forgot my birthday last week (along with the rest of the world except the lovely MN shielders ), stood me up the day after and hasn't bothered getting in touch since.

I've just got a letter basically telling me that following assessment and a meeting, I cant have nhs talking therapy (too complex for IAPT/CBT) until I've accessed peer support, better diabetes support and moved house. It's taken since March when I asked for help to get to the point where I'm told I can't have it yet.
I feel like there's no point in even trying any more.

Everything has made me feel miserable today. I’m fed up of not working because my office is still shut and I have no childcare. I’m fed up of breastfeeding all the time.

I was in the local shopping centre and saw a nice coat but of course wasn’t allowed to try it on over my clothes so just left it.

I hate seeing the phrase social distancing everywhere. We’re allowed to fucking socialise, we need to as human beings. Just call it physical distancing. I’m fed up of hearing about second waves. I miss my life.

I am fed up of working from home - I'm shit at it and really miss my workmates. Fed up that I'm not going to see my family this year (lovely MIL is visiting joining our bubble at the moment which should be making me happy but just reminds me I'm not going to see my family any time soon). Fed up that my friend is ill and shielding. Fed up that the local swimming pools don't seem to be opening any time soon.

I feel fucking beyond depressed/mutinous/rabid about the fact my DD who isn’t even at school yet says

“uh-oh, CORONAVIRUS, don’t come too close”

after she and I went to the door earlier to say hello to our lovely DHL delivery lady.

My lovely, gregarious daughter is now brainwashed enough to equate getting close to people with getting ill.

I know I’m overreacting but FUCKS SAKES I HATE THIS I HATE ALL OF ITTTTTTTT

Can I join in please?

I just feel so fed up of everything. Husband is working (from home) but I'm not so bored and lonely and having to tiptoe around.

I'm trying to organise (socially distanced) meet ups with people but no one is replying and I'm getting fed up of being the one to make an effort. And I just feel sad that people I thought were friends, clearly are not - but will happily say to others that they're looking forward to coming to visit me (I'm close to a beach) despite not speaking to me for months!

I really need to get my bum in gear and go for a run and just can't be bothered.

Same here. DH and I were both unemployed at the start of this and things were really looking up at the start of the year with the job market booming. Now his sector is flat and I keep getting constant rejections

DH spent weeks preparing for a second interview last week, the interview went well, he was promised a decision by the end of the week but has heard nothing. The agency have not responded to his calls or emails . It is killing me to see him so despondent and sad, he put so much effort in, gave it his all, and no-one has bothered to contact him with any news

I don't know how much longer we can go on with both of us being unemployed and not being able to do things other people do, e.g. holidays, home improvements, enjoying life. It seems the good times are well and truly over for us

We are all feeling trapped due to the general situation but with little children it must be so much worse. I saw the local playground open again recently and the delight of the kiddies raised my spirits. Is there somewhere you can go and chat with other mums in the open?

Can I whinge too? Lone parent - their father died a few years ago - been on my own with a 7 and 8 year old whole of flipping lockdown. Very little family nearby who I've barely seen, just a couple of coffees in the garden. I was lucky enough to be made furlough at least but it's complete ground hog day now I am so utterly utterly fed up and am now expecting redundancy - god knows how i'll be able to find a job when I still have no idea what days / hours the kids will be at school and whether I can find wrap around care again. I'm trying to hold on to the positives and we DO have some good days, when the sun is shining and we can get out. But a good whinge is definitely helping too!

Ok, here's mine, for what its worth:

(now a) Lone parent to 2 kids with autism after exH found it 'too hard'
Tried a full time job. Employer was awful (went to tribunal in the end).
Kids didn't cope, my health didn't cope (disabled myself)
Nightmare resuming benefits. Felt SUCH a failure.

I have an opportunity to bid for the chance to start my own business.
Of my dreams. I have until Friday to write a business plan.
It's exceptionally unlikely I'll be given the chance but if I don't try I will regret it forever (plus if it fails I have to move back to a bad situation)
co-incidentally, exH has taken kids for 5 days (first time EVER!)
I am sitting here in floods, unable to get started. Hating myself.
~WTF is WRONG with me? Ugh.

I feel for you all- glad it’s not just me!

Can I join?

I’m sick of doing nothing, left my job during lockdown, place was a shit show anyway.

Sick of people telling me I have it easy, yes DD happily entertains herself mostly but she’s still autistic and anxious about the world.

Sick of failing my theory test (twice now) and waiting ages to sit it again.

Sick of the same fucking places, park, my mums, shopping.

I had D&V on Sunday night and my toilet has blocked up as a result.

Other than that, I'm pretty whinge free, but big hugs and flowers to those of you whose problems won't go away with a good go with a sink plunger!

I had D&V on Sunday night and my toilet has blocked up as a result.

Read that just as i took a fork full of my lunch :)

Beyond bored. Loads of house stuff to do, and can't be bothered with any of it.

DD is beyond bored, and moany, and hangs around me fidgeting and doing Tik Tok jerky dance moves, which drives me mad. No school place (had just moved when lockdown started) and we won't hear anything before September.

I drank too much last night and feel tired, overweight, and Lacking In Moral Fibre.
