... to have hated 2014?

This year has been absolutely awful!

I've been trying to conceive my first child for over 18 months and have had 12 months of negative pregnancy tests this year. My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer, I missed out on a job I really wanted and (icing on the cake), I've just developed an inflammation of the optic nerve, which is quite often the first sign of Multiple Sclerosis. I'm not superstitious but I'm wondering what else is around the corner.

Sorry, not looking for sympathy, just wondered if anyone else can’t wait to see the back of this year? I'm going to be quaffing far too many glasses of fizz on New Year’s Eve and hoping that things turn around in 2015 …

Moan, moan, poor me etc.

Cant wait for 2015. All year we have been managing son with LD struggling with mainstream school and fighting for support and finally getting into special school, son with dust mite allergy so an hour of cleaning everyday plus attachment issues so can't even put out washing without him panicking. Working full time, finishing an MSc and doing a PGCert.

In the last 6 weeks, have had 3 deaths of very close family members and dh had a bad accident leaving him totally dependent on me for all care and domestic activities, plus blue lighted to hospital for another unrelated health issue. So managing all of that on top of a stressful job - getting up at 4am most days just to stand still. Cant wait for christmas and as U2 says no-one else to die.

Yeh, I would happily settle for just boring for 2015 too.
Because after all that's a great backdrop for livening things up a bit too

Waltonswatcher · 08/12/2014 00:07

We had an awful 2012 . My motto was 'well some if us are still here' .
Not all years are bad op . Honestly , you can have good times as easily as bad .
Hoping 2015 brings us all peaceful joy .

2014 has been the year of cancer and death here.

So many people I know have been affected by cancer this year it is pretty unbelievable. We got to s a stage in the summer that when the phone rang, DH and I would just look at each other and not answer it - too scared for any more crap news. We used to just look at each other and say "who's died now or who's been diagnosed with cancer now". It was that bad.

My own health has been pretty awful all year (not cancer - although had a scare). I am slowly coming to terms with the fact I may not ever be the person I was 13/4 months ago. My self confidence because of this is on the floor.

My marriage has had a battering and its been really tough and continues to be.

My mum has always had mental illness but this year I am worried she is on a decline as she has done some bizarre things and really hurt my feelings - I know its her illness but its so personal and hurtful when she says and does things. My Dad is also suffering because of it.

We are due to move house with DHs job but they keep messing us around with when exactly and where.making researching schools for my teens a nightmare. We were told on Friday we need to moved 2nd January - however, if the past 3 months are anything to go by I wont hold my breath.

I have had to dig so deep this year and I am still here clinging on by fingertips but I have to say I really dont think I have cried as many tears in my life before as I have in 2014. Driving to a little spot by the sea and sitting in my car alone and sobbing and sobbing has become a way to familiar habit - but its the only way I can cope for now.

So yes 2014 can ram it.

WellWhoKnew · 08/12/2014 01:19

Yes, 2014 can go the way of the nearly Ex-husband.

2015 will see me divorced, free of him and homeless. That ain't so bad compared to the shitstorm that has been 2014.

Good riddance.

Darkesteyes · 08/12/2014 01:26

Another one here who cant wait to see the back of 2014 Ive lost 3 stone 9 in 15 months and should be over the moon.
But ive had a year of conflicting feelings and emotions due to my marriage and being asked out by two other men. (one of whom i took up on it) and i hate the fact its turned me into a compulsive phone checker whos giving out mixed messages (due to mixed emotions) i sent a couple of stupid texts tonight which are completely out of character for me.
2014 can fuck off.

Roonerspism · 08/12/2014 01:37

2014 has been a bastard of a year and it is not over yet. I have also felt it has been an absolute fucker in terms of global problems...

Compared to many on this thread mine could have been a lot, lot worse, but I feel like I have been hit with non-stop worries. I'm very nervous for 2015....

Wishing everyone struggling and peace, hope and light for an easier ride in 2015.

SabrinaMulhollandJjones · 08/12/2014 02:02

2014 has been bloody awful for me too. Bloody awful. Numerous things - which have mainly been resolved now - but also a family bereavement that means life will never be the same now. I'm not sleeping enough, and drinking too much. Everyone thinks I'm ok and really strong, but I'm not.

for everyone who's had a bad 2014 too.

SallyMcgally · 08/12/2014 09:59

Another one who thinks 2014 has been utterly shite, but my troubles aren't nearly as bad as some of the ones on here. to all who feel battered and broken.
And merrymo - your post just made me want to give you a hug x

Naughtyornicename · 08/12/2014 17:29

I think 2014 will go out ki king and screaming - crap right to the wire (yet another job knockback today).

Altogether now (with feeling) "I get knocked down, but I get up again..."

guggenheim · 08/12/2014 17:50

Yep,2014 has been shit from start to finish. I would list my misfortunes but they are so out there that they are good for a comic turn at a party.

Suffice it to say,2014 sucked,sucked,sucked.

It may break me yet but I will be celebrating this new years eve and just keeping everything crossed for a better year.

Am on a count down...

Naughtyornicename · 08/12/2014 17:53

I really hate new year, and after some bloody awful periods around Christmas, I am beginning to hate Christmas too. I'm not too keen on my birthday either, so that's a good 2 months knocked out of the calendar.

Darkesteyes · 08/12/2014 18:37

I dont like New Year either and am also not too fond of Jan/Feb Got very very depressed last time.

Naughtyornicename · 09/12/2014 07:37

And now a large crack has appeared on my bathroom ceiling below where our neighbours had the massive leak.

This year just keeps on giving!

Hobbitwife001 · 09/12/2014 09:19

Oh ladies, some very sad stories here , sending you all love, hugs and strength to get through.My husband of 28 years left us in September after six months of deceit and betrayal to be with someone in our small village I thought was a friend. Youngest son with Aspergers eating disorder raised its ugly head again due to the stress, and I am having counselling and AD' s to get my head sorted out. Fuck 2014 !

oldguygirl · 09/12/2014 09:52

2014 was crap and dont anticipate 2015 to be much better due to family health problems. I am going to stop saying I hope next year is going to be better because I said that last year and the year before. I just think that life is generally a bit crap and sometimes its better and sometimes its worse.
