What's worrying you right now?

[thisisasurvivor]

After years of rough times
Family illness
Sad deaths in my family
dv

Life is now not bad thankfully

But I always have some kind of a worry

So at the moment
My bloody boss has not been approving my timesheets in time
So another week no pay

Don't want to piss her off by saying something but she should know this

It's keeping me awake and really really putting me over the edge

How about you?
How do you manage ?

Some times I think ok
So no pay
Maybe borrow money from family?
Won't be that bad

I mean it is a bit shit
But at least I have work

Sorry you’re having a rubbish time of it with work. That’s not on at all.
im currently worried about my daughters nocturnal seizures.
the fact our house is too small but not able to move.
business is having a rough patch due to the economy.
my health is really poor at the moment and I ignore it.
worried about aging, hate looking in the mirror as I have body dysmorphia.
feel quite on edge and have been thinking about getting in my car and just leaving it all behind but that would be stupid and unfair of me.

@thisisasurvivor it is a good thread. cathartic to just write it down without anyone trying to fix and just knowing others are in similar situations and we are each not alone.

Top 3 are

• neurodiverse DD is having a rotten time of things and I worry about her now and for the future
• DH is becoming so obsessed with spending and buying things I'm getting concerned. He is also ND and does this as a coping mechanism.
• I am neglecting myself (weight gain, no exercise, cancelling seeing people etc) and might be causing damage to myself that I regret. Difficult to rectify this at the moment.

Mice are back.
My daughter thinks it's rats.
The last time we had someone in I spent most of my times chasing the baby mice away so they wouldn't be snapped
Trying to look for an alternative
Two dogs thar just sniff
I have many other worried but killing creatures gives me nightmares

Op you should definitely bring it up. Especially with cost of living rises etc. It doesn't have to be in a hostile way but just email her stating you need your pay every week

My top 3:

1-My 3yr old boy is still witholding his poo. I thought the issue would have resolved but it hasn't and it ruined a few days of our week. He is miserable and yet when he finally goes be is so happy. I know this is a long term thing but I am sick of dealing with it and I'm worried about the impact it has on him.

2-our mortgage fix is coming to an end and we have no extra money to cover the increase in cost.

3-we have 5k of debt to clear. Again...no money to do it

My health isnt great and I cant get the medical profession to do anything for me.

DH is unemployed and the list of things that need replacing is adding up.

I worry for all my childrens' futures. They just seem so engaged with life.

Unengaged, that should say.

Sorry for the serious concerns some of us are suffering with.

My mother has been diagnosed with sudden onset dementia. I have had to put her in an expensive care home and we don't have funds to keep her there for much longer.
My DD is engaged to a narcissist.
And weirdly, I am feeling stressed that my bedroom blind has broken.

My business isn't going to survive the year
That's pretty much it

I’m sorry for everyone who is struggling in various ways and hope that sharing your worries helps a little.

My main worries at the moment are:

Climate change (as another poster said- it’s just always there)
Russia
AI
Social Media
My health

I am always anxious. I cover it well and most people I encounter don’t know I’m thinking bleak thoughts much of the time. I wish I could be a happier, more positive person, but I don’t know how.

My son.

He made an unbelievably stupid decision and has been in jail since March and is awaiting trial.

Because he is 31-years-old, his father (my ex-husband) and I are a bit out of the loop as to what is going to happen. To be honest, we don't know the exact details of what he's done but what we do know is that it carries a significant amount of time in prison if he's convicted.

He has mental health issues and thankfully he's getting treated for them in jail but he's chosen not to communicate with his father or me so I spend a great deal of time wanting to throttle him and worrying about him equally.

Test

I am so so sorry
Sending you lots of good wishes xxxxxx

My general health overall. I am having high blood pressure readings, which may or may not be down to my weight. I am obese - (7+ stone overweight), because of trauma related issues. I'm struggling with perimenopause, which no doctor will agree I have, despite me having a hormone blood test a few years ago, and a very kind nurse who let me have hrt patches. (Said nurse doesn't work for the surgery now). Plus, lack of exercise, and even time doing things for myself like hobbies/relaxing. And breathe... I generally am a worrier too. All this has an impact on my mental health with anxiety/depression.

My daughter has found a lump.

My dd withheld her poo. Is now in her 20s and absolutely fine.

I'm so sorry

Hope everyone doing ok

Life can be utterly shit

I hope she can be seen quickly and it’s nothing untoward 🤞. Thoughts are with you.

my top worry is for the third year running my 7 year old daughter is being systematically bullied by the same child she has been since year 1. It makes me very sad 😞 why can’t people just be kind .

You are not selfish OP. By starting this thread you have given other people a chance to get things off their chests which they may not have had the chance to do before

My DD (3) has had ongoing respiratory problems since birth. Will need a scope under general anesthetic to confirm/rule out current diagnosis and formulate a long term treatment plan

Mortgage renewal due in the next year and affording the cost of this.

I'm just so sick of trying for a baby and it not working out.

Fucking everything.

My DS and his psychical and mental health worries

My DD and her mental health

My DM and her declining health plus perhaps mental health too? Every day is a moan and I'm trying to be sympathetic

Dh just gets on by worry free

I'm working full time (breadwinner) studying, and trying to do the right thing by everyone and seemingly failing everyone at the same time.

Be easier if I disappeared sometimes (I wouldn't)

Main one is my mum about to be diagnosed with dementia. She is so aware that something isnt right and I dont know how she is going to take it.
My dads health is also not great and his memory is starting to go too.
Trying to balance all of that with my own work, family life etc. Feeling pretty worn out right now and this is just the start.

Last week we found out my daughter has severe scoliosis and is probably going to have to have her spine fused.

that’s kind of overshadowing everything else right now.
