Is anyone else's life a series of fuck ups?

Like nothing ever goes right. I took my kid to a national park thing 40 mins away. I forgot my debit card so couldn't gain access. Had to come home. My car radio is jammed on for some reason. I need a brick replacing at the front of my house. Had 2 roofers cancel. The bumper to my car has been hit and is cracked. Its never ending

Arghhhh I regularly have periods in my life when everything feels like it’s falling apart.
However I think I’m coming to realise that sometimes I can just carry on totally oblivious to things and at other times they get on top of me.
I’ve definitely had days where you couldn’t make up the series of unfortunate events where it feels the world is conspiring against me!
I do have Apple Pay downloaded onto my phone and watch though so I could have paid using those.
I know not everyone likes or wants that function but I’ve found it has made life easier in some respects.

Yes OP. I feel like that all the time, for different reasons but I feel like every decision I made since leaving university has seen me make poor choices.

It's just never ending

Yeah I know.
I have a seriously disabled DD. We sold our beautiful, much loved Victorian semi to buy a shitty bungalow to adapt for her.
Our architect made some shitty errors and didn’t do the full job.
Prices of building materials gone through the roof - what would have cost about £80,000 when we planned it two years ago is now £200,000, so we need a new architect etc etc. and to make our plans much smaller.
I’ve just been dealt a personal blow by the General Medical Council (I reported a doctor who sexually assaulted me two and a half years ago). They refused the concern because I didn’t report it for 3 months. I’ve spent a fortune on therapy trying to get over it and to come to terms with being called a liar.
I’ve lost friends because of it.
I have constant nightmares about him.
My beautiful best dog died.
I thought I had a job (first in 5 years as I am a full time carer for my DD) this week but it fell through on the same day as I heard about the second refusal (I’d asked for a review) from the GMC.
So, so many things. I feel like it’s my fault we chose a shitty architect and my fault I didn’t stand up to that fucking dick of a doctor etc.
And those are just the big things..

Blue4YOU If you're in the UK, have you looked at getting a Disabled Facilities Grant to pay for adaptations for your child?

@Spongebobfrillypants
Thank you, yes I’m in touch with the council But I’m stuck at the minute until I get proper drawings (I’ve got planning permission) as I need at least two builder’s quotes for the application and they can’t do a quote without the proper drawings

Yes most people don't have perfect lives. Fuck ups happen. Just keep smiling. And if you can't smile cry it helps.

Stormyinacoffeemug · 26/02/2022 16:29

Yes. It's constant and exhausting 😢

WindyHail · 26/02/2022 16:44

I hate doing this all on my own
