Worst year of my life!

[ghlily]

Who else is glad to see the back of 2023? Had a miscarriage at 16 weeks and spent 6 months depressed but carrying on, surviving rather than living. Hoping for a better 2024 for all of us.

Yes, awful year here too but not sure things will get better. Feel on edge all the time, some fantastic things happened in my work life but home life turned upside down and I often cry on my way into work. I wish I could say 2024 will be a good year but I think I have many hard years ahead.

Yep, it's been an actual cuntbadger of a year here.

Still not worse than 2018 when I had a traumatic pregnancy loss, and I'm sending all my love to you for yours. The pain will never go away but it will get less sharp, with time.

Worst year ever here too. Family deaths, DH sectioned due to medication issues, loads of MH issues, money problems. I feel old, exhausted and fat.

2023 can get in the bin.

Yep. In the bin here too.

Mil died. My mum was diagnosed with cancer, again. My dad had a massive heart attack.

I've been suffering a shitstorm of perimenopause symptoms.

Costs of everything have gone up massively. After suffering burnout as a BigLaw partner, I set up on my own this year which has been great in many ways but it has taken time to get new cases and even longer to get paid so money has been tighter than I would have liked.

2023 can absolutely do one. Sadly 2024 isn’t going to be great either (certainly not the first 3-4 months and possibly longer - dh likely to be made redundant). Here’s hoping it surprises us and dh gets the job of his dreams.

Really bad year - spent April to July nursing my mother in the last stages of her life. But my daughter and I also felt uplifted by sharing the privilege of being with her in her very last hours. Managed a holiday in September which lifted our spirits as we met knew friends and had the best time ever.
Hoping next year will be better but doubt it.

Yup.. lost my mam late 2023 snd had to wait 6 weeks for the funeral so that was tough, dad almost died, husband left me during all of this (he's back now but keeps threatening to leave again so god knows if he'll stick around this year).

Did start a new job I love so that's good.

Ended the year with a traumatic pregnancy loss so physically and emotionally dealing with that.

2024 I just want to get fit, feel like me again and be the best mam I can be to my children, either as a single parent or not.

Yep I’ll be glad when this year fucks off. My boyfriend split with me, I lost my beautiful dog and my house purchase fell through. Shit year and it needs to go .

My DH was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis 18 months ago. I had a huge disagreement with my daughter nearly 9 months ago and have hardly seen her since. I was formally diagnosed with breast cancer just after that. I've had 6 months of gruelling treatment for the cancer. 2024 HAS to be better!

Yes worst year for a long time. I really hope 2024 is better.

Also worst year of my life. Have become disabled, am in constant pain and not sure how and if anything will change in the new year. Not looking forward to the future at all.

Sorry about your miscarriage. I went through a terrible wilderness after mine. It’s almost like a limbo, of sorts.

2023 was shite, for me. Having had a good 2022… My marriage almost collapsed, FIL died, a financial crisis & I lost control of my health (peri-menopause hit like train). No holidays or anything nice, really, as we have no money.

Hoping to bring it all back to the good side for 2024.

Sorry to hear all the miscarriages and deaths.
These make my problems seem trival.
Since Easter I just haven't got a break with things breaking in my house. Pipes busting boiler breaking, Fire exploded car breaking down several times. Bank account scammed.

I just can't take much more off it
Hopefully 2024 will be better
