If you had the year from hell...

[Newlysinglemum1]

How are you planning to spend NYE?

I have seriously been knocked on my ass by 2024 and while I'm very aware 2025 will probably bring worse before it gets better, I also usually am of the mindset that it's good to ring the new year in with something vaguely positive so you're starting it on a good foot (or as good as you can within your situation). But I'm really struggling to think of what to do that's both low pressure and is still nice. It'll just be me and ds is little so he'll be in bed early (hopefully!) What are others doing and I'm sending you all wishes for a better 2025.

Goodness, I was coming on to say 2024 had been awful for us but in comparison to some of your stories I feel truly humbled. So sorry for all the real shit lots of you are going through. I truly hope 2025 is better for you all.

Spending NYE at home with DH & DCs and prob watching a movie/playing games. Might stay up to watch London fireworks, then straight to bed!

So sorry to hear of your loss

I've had a terrible year and will most likely be asleep by 10pm and will wake ready to face another year. I wish you all a happy New year.

I’ve had the worst year of my life - lost my husband in August (very suddenly and have two young children) so I’ll be in bed and asleep well before midnight

Also had a shit year.

I'm living a lie. DH left me in July very suddenly and no one knows. Well only one friend knows, she's single and fed up of her married friends whining about their partners so I keep quiet. No one in my family knows not even the kids. They think he is staying with and helping elderly in laws. He comes home half the week so they haven't really figured out what's going on. We are in couples counselling but I don't know if it's enough.

Started HRT after a year of suffering. In fact I partly blame perimenopause rage for the demise of my marriage. I will be sad and lonely with no one to talk to about my biggest worry.

@Downtoyou Hugest hugs and deepest sympathy.

To all of us, I hope 2025 gives us some relief 🙏

I’m so sorry 😢💐

Sorry for your loss @Chocolateteapot12

I'm decluttering until midnight. I just want to start 2025 with the least amount of weight hanging over me as possible so I can make it better than 2024 which was full of hurt, betrayals, extreme mental health for me, grief and almost losing the most precious thing to me due to toxic family.
