spudinmysock · 28/09/2021 20:18

I can't even be arsed to go into why I'm having a really shit day but it includes an extremely poor excuse for a 'd'h and wonderful set of colleagues who have just pointed out the obvious and confirmed what I've known for a longtime , hearing it out loud has knocked me about a bit so I'm having a pity party on my own and wondering how I've ended up here after seemingly having it all .

Anyway , I know I can't sit here for long , I need to start making a plan but for tonight it's what I'm going to do .

Anyone available to Cheer me up please ? Crap jokes , strong woman mantras, general shite chitchat etc .. my thoughts are hurting my head and my anxiety is through the roof , distract me please Smile

What about spooky, creepy stories threads
There's one that is frankly unsettling
Would that help?

Ohshittt · 28/09/2021 20:39

Sorry you're having a shit day but in many ways you may look back and see this day as a turning point and not such a shit day after all. Give it a few months and think back. Good luck to you, you have got this Flowers

Ps I deffo need a link to the spooky thread Grin

MrsCremuel · 28/09/2021 20:41

I too am having a shit day. All I can offer is solidarity though - sorry!

Spooky thread for you
There's a link to another spooky thread in there somewhere

It's not quite comparable (understatement) but I've come upstairs to bed as I'm too tight to put the heating on. Automatically brushed my teeth and it was only after doing so that I remembered I had a galaxy ripple to eat Shock

spudinmysock · 28/09/2021 20:48

@FredWinnie
Yes please , that's right up my street , can you link it ? It will give me a counter worry 

@Ohshittt
That's what I am hoping too , funny how the scales fall when you least expect it . One little comment at this mornings handover and it's potentially changed the course of my life .
It was:
"Spud , your Dh is a cunt, and you're a cunt for letting him be "
Obviously the conversation was longer than that but god love her for calling a spade a spade Grin

Yes. Teacher and we have ofsted in. Yesterday was a 15 hour day, today 13 hours. Very little sleep. Tomorrow it will be over.

bloodywhitecat · 28/09/2021 20:50

I am having a rough time too, life seems pretty scary right now so all I can do is offer a shoulder too.

spudinmysock · 28/09/2021 20:51

@sittingonacornflake

Clean teeth or no clean teeth , I'd be having that chocolate
And I be as sloven to eat it in my cosy bed too Grin

Yes. It's dark and rainy. Having clunky interactions with family on messenger. Feeling worn down. News is relentlessly horrible.

catlovingdoctor · 28/09/2021 20:52

Likewise. Hard, stressful and tiring day on clinics. Now had family dispute and feel totally suffocated and tense at home. Today can fuck off.

CormoranStrike · 28/09/2021 20:52

Yes; I started work at seven this morning, finished just before eight tonight, no lunch and worked non stop.

I am exhausted.

Fedup2908 · 28/09/2021 20:52

Well my husband told me he doesn't love me anymore yesterday and moved into another place he had already arranged. Then text me just now to tell me he's leaving the north east altogether.....when I said I hope she's worth it . The response I got was I'm sorry!!

So yeah I'm having a pretty shit day tbh

spudinmysock · 28/09/2021 20:53

@Invasionofthegutsnatchers
Adult social care here , super busy preparing for the equivalent (CQC) . We know itsdue .

@Fedup2908
you much be in so much shock , go easy on yourself , it's never your fault and don't ever let make you think it was .

Also , marry your mistress , create a vacancy . He will do it her one day , men like that can't help themselves ,

All are welcome at my pity party tonight Thanks

PeppermintTea2021 · 28/09/2021 21:00

Hugs to all. Think about all the good things we do maybe. We are trying!

Fedup2908 · 28/09/2021 21:00

Not in shock really, I know what a clown I'm married to.. its just the fact that he couldn't be bothered to lie about it this time!

Tbf in a couple of weeks I'll realise that today was a probably a good day and not a shit one

Viviennethebeautiful · 28/09/2021 21:09

Gear box went while driving, second time in 6 months.
Then get very plausible text asking my son to send money due to internet banking problems. I have had these internet problems last week so credible to me.
Long conversation but by text. That’s how we communicate normally,I think it’s my genuinely my son.
Then reality struck. His salary couldn’t’t cover such sums. Only doubt, he is buying a house and we have had to produce docs and cash v quickly. He has another account for that . I doubled his deposit so a fair bit of money.
Didn’t pay, but nearly scammed and car problems (already cost £1000 this year)
Loads of other crap this week including rapid deteriorating health stuff
I just feel like am lost and if I wasn’t here none of this would be a problem
It’s my health that’s bothering me most ( I think, I have brain fog)
Any advice for a genuinely, normally sensibly, but currently deranged person

spudinmysock · 28/09/2021 21:11

@Fedup2908

Not the first time you've caught him then ?

Let's do our best to imagine 12 months from today ,
I am hoping for a cosy little flat for me and my 2 DC's, where the rules stay the same ,no skidders in the toilet or drill bits knackering up my washer (because emptying his pockets is beyond him ) not being called a fat cunt or variations of daily ,simple stuff really !

What's your plans ?

PearLime · 28/09/2021 21:13

I'm having a shitty day. Period in 2 days so hormones going mental. Oh the joys of womanhood.

spudinmysock · 28/09/2021 21:15

@Viviennethebeautiful

No advice but you have totally nailed exactly how I feel , I'm just hoping it passes quickly , I used be so brave , sensible and top of everything .

I feel like everything I touch turns to shit and I'm ruining life for everyone around me .

Professionally, I'm on the ball but can't seem to carry that over in my home life Confused

OP posts:
Fedup2908 · 28/09/2021 21:19

@spudinmysock fat cunt is also my name! Are we married to the same dickhead?? Wouldn't surprise me to be honest... women are popping out the wood work everywhere!!

Well I just got a message saying "I hope you die and ill see you in court"

So I'm guessing plans are not to die and go to court Grin

And this "fat cunt" has lost 4 stone in 4 months....I think dh doesn't like the fact I don't look like shit anymore!

FredWinnie · 28/09/2021 21:20

@spudinmysock

Link for the spooky thread already posted :)

Look out for posts by Audit (sp?) So effing creepy

(And your outspoken friend/colleague/person sounds like a star tbh

spudinmysock · 28/09/2021 21:41

@Fedup2908
I too am married to someone who is clearly threatened by my success ,

His first response to anything if I've challenged him is " call yourself a mental health professional" (obvs not my actual job title but broadly what I do ) "who's life you saving today then" etc etc . He can't cope with me having something that he doesn't control .

4 stone is loads , well done you , you are fabulous Star

spudinmysock · 28/09/2021 21:43

@FredWinnie
I'm on it now , thanks

And she is , she isn't usually outspoken which is why I think I've sat up and listened
