Page 2 | Anyone feel done with 2022

I am feeling a little low I suppose so much has happened this year and for me it's just been one thing after another. I'm thinking roll on 2023 can't take much more. Anyone feeling this way?

dudsville · 05/10/2022 08:52

No, these are my days, they're precious to me regardless of whether there are tough times. I'll be dead soon enough, not going to wish this away.

It's been a brilliant year for me. But that's probably because I don't live in the UK. Oil prices rising for me has actually increased my salary by about 40% and 100% compared to 2007. I have health insurance and joy in my life and apart from rotten menopause tears, it's been my happiest year. It's been full of love and passion and reward.

How is it helpful or nice to come onto a thread where the OP is struggling and boast about how wonderful life is for you?

Since 2017, hospital has featured a lot with both me and my very elderly dad. Every year since then I've hoped there would be no more ambulance call outs, hospital admissions both elective and through A&E but here we are 2022 and they are still happening.

I'm crossing my fingers for 2023 in the hope it will be a much less worrying year than what's gone before.

Venuz · 05/10/2022 09:18

Because the endless self pity in the UK is indulgent and frankly pathetic. Endless threads just praying the world collapses because there's a Conservative government. Competitive non heating threads. It's pathetic, life just isn't that bad.

It wouldn’t matter where I was in the world.

I would still be living a half life dealing with my father and his dementia and all the horrific red tape that comes with it.
I would still be ill.
I would still be trapped in a place where people smoke drugs outside my door and graffiti my property.

I could go on. It’s not angst ridden. I’ve got a really shit life and those three things aren’t even the worst that is going on or the worst of what has happened to me.

I used to be positive. I used to think i will get through this next thing, just like I’ve done before but over the last decade, it’s all kept on coming, more and more and the resilience has been drained from me.

Swap with me for a week.

Its not a U.K. tbing. I couldn’t give a crap about what’s happening with the news, government. I’ve got too many of my own problems to care.

Show quote history

Why would I want to swap. I have taken steps to avoid all of that shit. I live in a civilised place where parents do get care and there is a thing called the police. You choose where you end up, if you don't like it, move onwards and upwards.

If you're so #blessed and successful why do you keep wittering on about the UK?

People are allowed to not feel okay so not bothered about this comments.

Glad people are happy but sometimes it won't be the case.

Life could be worse I suppose but grateful to be here alive today. As many going through bad health.

shinynewapple22 · 05/10/2022 14:04

That sounds really difficult @JJsdadisatwat

You are right @Ithurtbad . People are allowed to not feel okay and it isn't helpful for people to say otherwise .

I am not sure what @Venuz is hoping to achieve on this thread .

aDayattheLido · 05/10/2022 18:02

Here Venuz - have a Mumsnet hug, hun x

JlL2013 · 05/10/2022 18:11

@ItsHitTheFanNow fucking shit ain't it. How are you getting on?

Always4Brenner · 05/10/2022 18:11

Totally done.

EllisActon · 05/10/2022 18:14

JJsdadisatwat · 05/10/2022 03:44

Yes.

To be honest, I am already done with 2023 too. Life is, and has always just been one awful thing after another all out of my control.

I’m sick of it. i’m constantly waiting for the next bad thing to happen.

Me too........it's horrible

It is if you have had a stroke!!!!

Mistymountain · 05/10/2022 19:01

Yes it's joining 2020 and 2021 as rubbish years. I'm not optimistic about 2023 either.

JlL2013 · 05/10/2022 18:11

@ItsHitTheFanNow fucking shit ain't it. How are you getting on?

I've definitely had better years!

I'm ok I guess. I'm so thankful it hasn't spread and they are treating to cure. How about you?

arghtriffid · 06/10/2022 08:35

I've decided the house won't fall down and will see us out and then its the dc's problem

Why is it DC's problem?

Anon778833 · 06/10/2022 09:22

Venuz · 05/10/2022 04:57

It's autumn, it's cosy, there's the world Cup which I have loads of tickets for, I'm healthy and have a job. I don't wish time away, I've been to too many funerals in the last few years since the NHS stopped working, young people with ovarian cancer mainly who would have been happy with a bonus 3 months. Be careful what you wish for and if you don't like it, change it.

Although I agree with what you’re saying to some degree, it’s quite unfair to suggest that people can just change their circumstances if they’re unhappy. That’s not always possible.

Presumably because the kids will inherit the house?

Phrenologistsfinger · 06/10/2022 09:31

Totally - 4 rounds of IVF, one war, two bouts of covid (one very serious, out for months), two insane governments, one financial crisis, droughts, insane 40c temperatures, dying trees, fracking, and let’s not forget potential nuclear war.

Am over it.

33goingon64 · 06/10/2022 09:48

Been a disruptive and sad year for me. Spent months caring for DM who then died. Plus having major building work done which is dragging on and on. House is open to the elements still. And now DH and I both have Covid. But, as my DM would say, there's always people worse off than you and I'm trying to stay positive.

JlL2013 · 08/10/2022 00:11

@ItsHitTheFanNow in the same position, treat to cure and not spread.

Had my last treatment today, wish I was well enough to celebrate but that time will come.

Good luck with your treatment x
