I have a pile of washing to do and the house needs a shake down but I had a migraine yesterday and period has started. I don't feel great.

Kids are all teens and fending for themselves but DH is out till very late and has the car.

So I'm sat hugging my dogs and watching Netflix but just like a bit of a shithouse today.

I know I'd feel better of I got up and tidied but just cba.

Got no bread or basics in either. Just urgh

Unfortunately due to a few health issues I feel pretty shit a lot of the time. NO energy at all. Then fed up because the basics of life take up SO much energy & I remember when they didn't.

My husband has been sitting in his pants and dressing gown all day threatening to have a shower but watching crap TV instead. It's seriously got on my pip if I'm honest. He's just said he's concerned about our safety with all these demos going on..told him he wasn't at risk sitting home in his pants...🙄

Resisterance · 18/11/2023 16:14

In bed with period pain whilst mini me watches too much telly downstairs. Cat is enjoying the time lying down with me though. Gone into full winter mode.

Moominmoko · 18/11/2023 16:15

I'm feeling crappy. Overdue with dc4 and have had two of the kids off school poorly this week. Tired and fed up but also restless and anxious. Had a bath to try and feel better but somehow feel worse.

Sending kind thoughts to those who are struggling. Life can be relentless at this time of year.

withoutjeans · 18/11/2023 16:19

Wel this was the thread I needed to find.

Feeling utterly crap and exhausted. Have had to palm off many parenting duties to my OH (and yes I am v lucky to have that option). Been in bed most of afternoon, asleep, and when I woke up I felt utterly dreadful and so low.

While I don't wish sadness or illness on anyone it's sometimes nice to know you aren't the only one cuddled up feeling rotten.

Sending well and positive wishes to all

LesLavandes · 18/11/2023 16:21

Am sitting watching back to back movies... feeling crap too

DuckbilledSplatterPuff · 18/11/2023 16:39

I think its the mid November pre Christmas blues... dark mornings, dark evenings from 5pm. Plus all the Christmas crap. I'm feeling because I'm a bit down today, trying to sort out Christmas spending with DH always visibly wincing in pain at the thought of it, is getting SO OLD.

Itdjgsurchg · 18/11/2023 16:42

Yes me too! Spent most of the day mindlessly scrolling on Instagram videos whilst the kids have played/ argued. The house needs cleaning, Christmas shopping needs doing and I’ve got work to do but I just can’t get motivated.

AdoraFruitcake · 18/11/2023 16:46

Me too. Exhausted all week and work was a struggle, so have done very little today. Managed to go to the shop and get some provisions for my teens (who have both had the flu and are still a bit ropey) and do some laundry, but that’s about it. My house needs a clean and tidy but I cannot be bothered.

Instead, I’ve watched Christmas films all day and had tea & cake Grin.

Sorry to all those feeling ill or lonely Flowers.

FrancisSeaton · 18/11/2023 16:48

Same feel so flat and overwhelmed

can I join?

I had a date Thursday night which was fab. He said he wanted to do it again. Messaged all yesterday. He Was out with friends last night, so last message was at 6pm. Nothing at all today. :( just really wierd.

Im going to a wedding tonight. I'm the only single one going, it's always hard anyway, but this time of year with the focus on families and couples anyway. I just want to curl up and cry.

I realise I've not had a hug properly since January. :(

I'm so sorry, it is indeed tougher this time of year to be lonely compared to other seasons. Sending you and everyone else strength

Blanketpolicy · 18/11/2023 16:56

Another who feels shit today. Sore head, the type thats makes you feel slightly nauseous, since I woke this morning. Pain killers doing nothing for it.

Used to get similar monthly (hormonal), but 55 and menopausal so havent had one for a while, it was a tough week at work, was looking forward to the weekend and just feeling very sorry for myself.

Wonder if 🍷 will help 🤔

CoodleMoodle · 18/11/2023 17:03

Yep, here too. We're all just getting over an awful cold and everyone's ratty and horrible. DS5 is in an awful, awful mood and DD9 was really unpleasant earlier. Neither me nor DH are in the mood to deal with it today, but we've got no choice.

Whattheduck · 18/11/2023 17:23

Hope everyone has a better day tomorrow
I’m going to drop Dd at work then come home and put my pyjamas on I’ve put a jacket potato in the oven which I’ll have with cheese butter and coleslaw (Dd had burger) she’s going to a party with her boyfriend after work which is just across the road from where she works then they’ll walk home after as in the village where we live so not got to go back out
Strictly , chocolate and might have a baileys then go to bed and listen to a podcast

UnravellingTheWorld · 18/11/2023 17:27

Yeah, been crying on and off for two days because life is so shit right now. I tried talkin to my husband, but he was pretty dismissive and he's been ignoring me ever since. So... feeling really great today.

I'd like to think tomorrow will be better, but I can't see it happening.

Aramist · 18/11/2023 17:29

Been on the sofa all day with terrible sinus headaches. Feel like I've got a knife sticking through my head. Paracetamol/sudafed only taking the edge off.

Pretty miserable. I've got so much on next week, I don't have time to feel this ill 😞.

I'm sorry. I don't know, obviously, but I suspect he may be just hungover not at his best and so is quiet.

I vividly remember my friend going on some dates with a bloke, and then he didn't text her for a day or two and she felt as you do. Anyway turned out there was a perfectly reasonable explanation. They recently got engaged and welcomed their first child into the world. unfortunately some people (not all men) are cr*p at texting and/or don't get the anxiety it might cause not to.

YogaLite · 18/11/2023 18:10

Me too.
Can't do anything right as lots of things have gone wrong recently health- and money-wise.

Just taken a vit D hoping it will somehow help me get through it all and will try to sleep it off.

Appledrop · 18/11/2023 19:12

Me too, been ill for two weeks, thought it was covid but test negative. Come across at times feeling wonky, light-headed, bad sinuses, blocked nasal passages, very heady, feeling sick etc. Popped to docs today and they have given me some tablets for the wonk and a different nasal spray for my nose...having already tried salt wash, beconase & otrivine. Hope everyone on here has a much better day tomorrow, goodness only knows I could do with it.

MyKindOfWonderful · 18/11/2023 19:30

I was feeling bit rubbish earlier so listened to some music on youtube.
Best song that lifted my spirits Tom Odell live at Pukklepop festival singing Another Love.
Camera keeps panning out into audience, the energy is amazing and young people seem so happy. love the young woman who goes coy realising camera is on her, so sweet. Music is good for the soul.

Hipnotised · 19/11/2023 12:51

@ZeroFucksGivenToday I met a guy, had a fab time and then he didn't call for 2 days...he'd lost his voice, called me on day 3 and we've been narried 25 years...don't give up hope!

Sunday12 · 19/11/2023 16:32

Im
feeling even worse today. I feel there must be a chemical imbalance causing this. I feel dreadful. Overwhelmed and totally ashamed and without energy
