feeling hard done by....:(

Sooo, I am new to this (as in 30seconds old)...after regularly reading the threads and seeing it's ok to have a moan, I was wondering if it would be ok for me to do the same?

I am 25 and have an amazing husband (he is my best friend) and 2 beautiful girls aged 5 and 3, I have fab friends and a family that love me... and because I am the "bounce back Queen" I fnd it hard to ever have a moan...

BUT....

My hubby is registered disabled, he has ME/CFS, (this was diagnosed by an endocrinologist after rigorous amounts of tests and eliminating everything else) Fibromyalgia, Diverticulitis (recurrent), a hyatus hernia, GORD, A new hip problem (which may result in a replacement), low testosterone.. Asthma...the list goes on.

It's been on and off for a few years, but the past 2 yrs have really been down hill... He has even spoken to a GPSI (GP with a special interest) who has told the hubby that he is too young to have half of these problems... which of course doesn't make it any less so.

My 3 year old has a paediatricians appt on Thurs for a pooing problem which has been ongoing (movicol and lactulose do NOT work)

I have an appt on Fri for a pre op assessment for Endometrial Ablation (my periods last approx 3 weeks and stupidly heavy)...other than that my health is great...could do with losing a stone since having children... but one day at a time. :D

Now my whole thing is...for just a second (Even though it sounds SOOOO unbelievably selfish) I would like someone to just give me a hug, a bar of chocolate and beat up the world with me...just for 5 minutes.

I found out recently that a few of my close friends don't want to confide in me because they think I have too much on my plate... I never really get down about my life, like I say, my hubby is my best friend and my children are amazing... but now I feel unable to say anything even if I am having a crappy day because I would never ever tell my friends they are worse off or anything like that, one of them point blank said "I don't know how you manage to smile at all without me adding to it".... this offends me a little because as far as I can see I am a bloody good friend, I don't want to be shielded (they know this)

So basically I am taking 5 minutes to feel hard done by, please feel free to do the same... rant over. And I don't even know what the title of this should be...random rants? sorry folks....

I think Crystal may have a point, however it is past Crystal's bedtime and she is going to say goodnight now.

I'm off too, Mumsnet is too weird for me tonight. Plus I am traumatised from finding a flea in my jeans earlier fucking cat

Hello OP and welcome, Im going through a shite time too, I name change as often as I change my underwear and I live in fear of either being outed or sometime linking all my name changes.

But I also need support.

So hugs to the OP, Crystal, your posts on this thread are just wierd.

In fact, this is the wierdest thread I have ever read on mumsnet, and I have read a few.

CrystalMaize · 18/04/2012 00:24

Already did, ThreadWatcher.

Hebiegebies · 18/04/2012 00:24

Oh my,... I found the post you are all writing about me on.. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ON THIS SITE BEFORE.... AND I AM NOT THE PERSON YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.... so no Crystal does not have a point, I'm sorry if being a nice person brings back your "food poisoning" and wtf is a bridge dweller? Grr, don't worry I have also reported all of this, and will be going much further if I need to... how old are all of you? I am 25, prob younger than most of you and you are acting like playground BULLIES!!! I have never experienced anything like this in my life....! I am absolutely disgusted, coming here for help and being treated like absolute dirt...and to think I started feeling sorry for you.... I am thinking this website may actually need to be shut down, I can only imagine the way your "group" have made people feel.. How dare you imply that everything I have said is lies... you don't even know HALF of my story, to think that I came because I had NOWHERE ELSE TO TURN!!! was sure there must be other people going through similar, that we could talk and maybe give eachother a bit of encouragement... how wrong was I!!!! I have done all of the justifying I am going to do, I really hope you feel ashamed of yourselves, especially if the next person you prey on is more vulnerable than me! Fucking Fuming.... !!!!!!!

To all of those genuine people, sorry but I will do what I can to expose the bullying on this site, I won't put up with it, nor should anyone else have to! thanks for everyone's kind words!
