Me: money. I'm worried about the rising cost of everything. What are you worried about?

Lunchtime for me … didn’t want to leave you unanswered

Hope you manage to get some rest

The passing of time and whether to have another DC

neveraneasylife · 10/06/2024 05:23

I had another. She's 4 now and thought she was affordable but now everything is so expensive
Sorry I'm being quite negative but the way she played with her sister was amazing and so beautiful to see the love between them. This is new for them. I've never seen them that way before. I hope they'll always look out for each other as adults.
Thank you for your reply.

I'm worried about the future. I have a hip injury and in daily pain. I worry this is it now forever. I've had to give up so much. I dreamed I was buying a wheelchair last night.

It is wonderful to see how they play together … and then they spoil it and argue 😆

Prices are going up - anything you could change at work / home to help? Always tricky

💐 Are your doctors doing enough for you? Women in pain often under listened to

Me! Been awake since four am.

I am worried about work. I am leaving a job that was not right for me in two weeks and starting a new one and I am desperately hoping the new one is a better fit. I have been overwhelmed and worried about work for a whole year and that has been very difficult.
Stupidly, I am also worried about the weather (or more specifically, I am worried about the impact of the shit weather on my mental health). I am very keen for some sunshine!

I've been awake since 2:30am my anxiety has kicked in big time 😔hope i can relax before work or it's going to be a hard day.

SheepAndSword · 10/06/2024 06:13

I'm not worrying as such, just thinking about things like health, upcoming appointments, whether I will be really tired today after lack of sleep

Ilearnitfromabook · 10/06/2024 06:15

Wide awake here. Got to go to the family court tomorrow against horrible abusive exH. He can afford a barrister and I can’t. Scared.

Best of luck. Everything crossed for you today. Hope it's a positive result and you can move on. Onwards and upwards. Xx

It tends to hit me like a bus a day later. I know I worry about health too I've had this bloody cough for over a month. Thought it was getting better but been coughing all night. Grrrr. I have recently lost so much family to cancer so every little thing has me worried.

I wasn't far behind you at 3am. Not slept since. Probably got to sleep about 11/11:30 due to my husbands snoring too.

@Allthatwegotisthispalebluedot

You have to try don't you. You'll never know unless you do. I understand though. I want to leave my job. I work in a toxic, conflict of interest environment and it's hard going but no alternative for me at the moment. I envy you. I think you're doing the right thing. I hope you have nice colleagues. X

I think I've done everything I can. Reduced my hours by only 3 hours a week so I can take kids to their hobbies. From the autumn I think we will have to cut back on hobbies due to money. I just want to be there for my kids whilst they are still so little so I don't think I want to add on the extra 3 hours again at the moment. We have done all we can to scrape back the cash. Haven't had a holiday for years!!

Aw, have you seen a doctor about the cough? Is it dry or phlegmy?

Yes I'll have to get through to the afternoon then I can take a catnap for a couple of hours :)

Ilearnitfromabook · 13/06/2024 05:47

@neveraneasylife that’s kind of you to ask. It was pretty awful but I survived. Verdict to come next week.

Intheband · 13/06/2024 05:51

I’m awake been telling myself to go back to sleep for 45 minutes but not worked….

worrying about husband's impending redundancy and where his next job might be….. Interview on Friday for a job in a Nordic company. Trying to put on the happy face for the kids but my mask keeps slipping.

missmouse1969 · 13/06/2024 05:55

@Ilearnitfromabook
