What 2 things are worrying you at the moment?

[ThomasShelbysfagend]

Write your worries here, someone might have words of wisdom or an encouraging virtual arm around the shoulders.

Mine are:

1. Going NC with my mother, wasn’t sure so met up with her for around 45 minutes and I’m now sure. I am going NC.

2. Colleague at work is extremely hard work, challenging my patience so I need a new mask to get through with professionalism. I am convinced they are ND so trying super hard to be accepting, kind and understanding but it’s pushing me over the edge.

pfffft can’t see any solutions to these.

1. I met someone by accident and I think it might be a life-changing marriage-ending situation.
2. Yeah that’s it.

1. Teen daughter (ASD) has recently been diagnosed with PCOS. Worrying about how she’ll cope.
2. Kitchen extension is sucking the life out of me - and every penny we have.

1. waiting on mums skin (possible) cancer results, was suppose to be a 2 week wait but been 9 weeks?! She contacted them a few days ago and they said nothing has come through..
2. starting weaning my 6 month old, idk why I’m worried about it, I just am altho not doing BLW

Accountability I didn't do mine today I will do it tomorrow and hopefully finish Wednesday.

1. Have to move - really struggling to find somewhere affordable to move to in a hurry so we're out of this shed.

1. Current LL keeps sending 'reminders' that he wants his keys on Sunday. All well and good but the notice he gave isn't legal. We told him this when he sent it but he ignored that email. I'm really worried he'll turn up here when dd1 is home alone (18yo) knowing full well I don't get in until 1:30pm. Or he'll change the locks while we're out & my cats will get out & we'll be stuck with none of our belongings. Or he'll try to keep the deposit when the lack of maintenance & ongoing structural issue/leak in the bathroom is his doing for not employing someone to carry out proper repairs & rather being happy with half a job bloody Harry who built a dam out of sealant to attempt to resolve the leak issue (I shit you not - there is a half inch tall silicone dam along the edge of the bathtub...unsurprisingly, it didn't bloody work - it's so bad it's funny 🤣) - not that I/we haven't kept it properly as I suspect he will claim.

Fuck me, I am stressed!!

1. I start radiotherapy for breast cancer on Thursday and I'm majorly stressing about whether I'll physically be able to do. Not the radiotherapy itself, the lying in the arms raised position for an extended period of time. I broke my shoulder last year and it's still giving me jip. We tried the position last week and I managed it, but the next couple of days were agony. I don't know if I'll be able to do it for longer, every day for a week.

1. I have stickers all over my chest in preparation for radiotherapy. The buggers won't stay put. I'm freaking out every time I see another edge starting to roll up.

I'm worried about money and how I'm going to afford to do fun things int eh summer hols.

I'm worried that one day my children will say they want to go and live at their dads and not with me 💔.

1. ai takeover and how best to advise my dc of career options, if we get to live through it without it killing us first 😕

2. Trump and his megalomaniac ways

1. Overwhelmed and frozen by the weight of work I am dealing with, it comes in so much faster than I can handle it
2. messed up getting re involved with ex partner recently, now need to extricate myself again …. Groan

Too much work and not enough time to do it.

Whether my cancer will/has come back
I have yet another toe nail infection (side effect of the cancer medication) but I don't want to take get more antibiotics.

@MrTiddlesTheCat I had similar worries about radiotherapy. My mastectomy and axillary clearance left me with some reduced movement in my shoulder and I found the positioning very difficult. I needed 15 sessions of radiotherapy, 3 weeks of 5 days each.

It is uncomfortable, there's no denying that, and sometimes downright painful. Let the radiographer know beforehand that you are finding it difficult.
It doesn't take that long, although it may feel like it. Make sure you do any exercises you have been given to loosen up your shoulder religiously, take pain killers beforehand, and try to distract yourself during the treatment. I used to do a mental shopping list, plan my week ahead, review my diary, review my Christmas shopping present list, plan my garden planting, that kind of thing - but you do whatever works for you.

I can't help you with the stickers I'm afraid, I had two tiny tattoos to mark the centre of the radiation zones, which they then augmented with permanent marker on the day - no stickers. At the hospital where my sister had her treatment they don't do tattoos, but I don't know if she had stickers.

Please see your GP. A cough for more than three weeks needs investigation.
