Other people

They're just unfathomable sometimes

I spend half my time just wondering why the fuck people are doing the things they do

I have stress dreams about other people doing crazy things

Money - running my own business means little in the way of stability. Peaks and troughs are very stressful.

My DN moving half way around the world to live with his F against the wishes of my DSis.

my ole friend insomnia how I welcome thee

Dd2. She's probably autistic/PDA/SPD. Her behaviour is awful and it isn't her fault. I find it so very hard to cope with. It's taken almost 2 years for medical professionals to see it, and now we are on the waiting list for diagnosis.

My other dds are suffering enormously. If dds behaviour was dh's behaviour, you'd all be telling me to LTB. It's incredibly difficult to cope with.

sugar21 - I am so sorry for your loss. I hope the one you want can be achieved.

Relationships. The most stressful thing that ever happened to me was exP's affair and our breakup. Now I'm currently having issues with someone else and I find it so tough! Work can be stressful, I do worry about money but I can usually shake those off but I think because relationship issues are so intensely personal, they really affect my sense of self, if that makes sense and so are more stressful than anything else.

My ds' autism and lack of support, carrying it alone on my shoulders. Trying to think of everything that can go wrong and trying to help ds cope with it.
People around me tell I'm great and a wonderful mother. I'm not, I'm no where near enough for him. I scream in my head a lot.

My very elderly parents and their declining health causes me most stress at the moment. So many of you carrying much heavier loads than me though, my heart goes out to you all.

sugar21 · 14/07/2015 22:37

Thank you chipstick and juggling

MsRaspberryJam · 14/07/2015 22:39

My son on too little sleep. I can cope with loads of really challenging things, but energetic four year old when I am ready to face plant is just the worst.

shouldnthavesaid · 14/07/2015 22:40

Juggling work and being a carer to my mum and sister.

It used to be university, and before that it was school, so I must be doing something right because I'm getting somewhere buy I just feel desperate sometimes. I don't have much patience left in me and little things have me so angry or upset, it's silly. All my energy goes on caring for other people.

SallyMcgally · 14/07/2015 22:43

DS being bullied and feeling lonely and humiliated.

HerRoyalNotness · 14/07/2015 22:44

Are we moving, aren't we moving?

No one knows. Living in Limbo sucks balls. It's an inter country move and I already quit my job as we were moving. And now we may or may not be. Bad time to find another job where we are too.

thenightsky · 14/07/2015 22:46

My job. It makes me cry most days.
