what is most stressful in your life?

[Fluffybear86]

Hello just curious what would people say is the most stressful area of your life?

The death of my son. I wasted so much time before stressing about things that really didn't matter before. Puts everything into perspective

So sorry to hear about your son

So much pain on this thread, it feels crass to complain about something as money worries, so I won't go there. I'm so sorry for all of you going through these situations.

Whoregasm, how can you sandwich a stealth boast about your holiday between the death of somebody's son and a baby's bone marrow treatment? Have you no shame?

I'm afraid I agree. Both those recent posts would fit in on a "First World Problems" thread. Not at all appropriate here, unless you're utterly self absorbed or have not bothered to read the thread.

Daily stress with a nasty sociopath boss
Money and massive mortgage
Neighbour from hell who has built ugly extension across boundary line and is refusing to do anything to make us happier

Honestly doesn’t compare to some of the things on here though, huge respect to you all X

Quite agree bof, my post is totally inappropriate here and I have asked mnhq to remove. I just posted on the run.

My depression
My self-hate
My food addiction
My lack of willpower
My suicidal feelings
My weight
My bad health because of my weight
A pending operation
My desperation to just "fit in"
My having a breakdown and leaving my job
My not having a job
My struggle to get ESA because I'm not "depressed enough"
Feeling I have to explain to people why I don't have a job.
My mother's death
Money
Isolation
Guilt
Feeling like a disgusting useless scum bag for being fat and not having a job, double whammy.
Being judged for being fat and not having a job (I know it happens, even if in secret)
Feeling like I have to pretend to be ok to keep up appearances
Wishing I had never been born
Wishing I was dead.

Being overweight and loosing it

DP has recently been diagnosed with incurable stomach cancer and is dealing with chemo and having to come to terms with the fact that he is so weak a trip to the shops exhausts him.
He can't eat properly, he can't run around with DD anymore, he can't do anything that he wants without a lot of planning and compromising.
He's a total workaholic and he hates it.

DD is 5 and has classic autism, she doesn't understand what is happening.
I'm not sure whether to be glad about that or not.

We live in Scotland so we are halfway through the summer holidays now, and DD hasn't had much of a routine over the last few weeks.
She was meant to go to a SN playscheme but I had to cancel it as obviously DP is unable to work at the moment and we were no longer able to afford it.

She needs constant supervision and I am struggling to cope with it all.
I'm constantly exhausted as I stay up far too late because the only time I can get any peace at all is at daft'o'clock in the morning.

My internet access is severely limited at the moment as well so I'm feeling quite isolated too.

I have none when i hear of the sadness and tough times on here..

sending virtual support to you all going through turmoil at the moment

My stress is nothing compared to those of you coping with life threatening illness or dealing with very ill partner's or children

I have severe anxiety which I try to manage with exercise but sometimes manifests as binge eating or spending

I have terrible insomnia which I take prescription pills and......other things for...

My job involves assisting victims of violent crime through the criminal justice system and I think I am experiencing secondary trauma...but I am afraid to tell anybody.

This is so sad. My heart goes out to all. AIBU to wonder if OP is heartless marketing researcher or a masters student gathering info. Why was question worded so emotionless ? So easy to harvest from vulnerable people willing to post.

Sorry, I didn't mean to threadkill with my shitebomb of a life.

On the bright side, we're looking at a nice week in Blackpool in September with all the family.
We're going to rent a self-catering flat and basically hold court for a week.

Perhaps somebody could help me plan a capsule wardrobe?

I was going to write something about my current life/work balance, but after reading this thread realise that I really don't have anything to be that stressed about at all

Currently in middle of two week wait to find out if I'm pregnant after being totally idiotic and led by our genitals spontaneous on the first night of our honeymoon. It was then impossible to get the morning after pill and neither of us really want another baby right now, as we can't really afford it and I'm trying to finish my degree. So finding that quite stressful but mostly because I'm painfully aware it's self-inflicted stress.

My toxic family and ongoing fertility problems.

My marriage

Or more importantly the stress our parents are putting on us due to their antics.

My health,now disabled and have Ulcerative Colitis,IBS,arthritis,rheumatoid arthritis,severed nerve running down my back(from my neck)Polycystic ovary syndrome,bad kidneys,deflated left lung,migraines,brain damage that causes facial blindness,long term and short term memory loss and weakness on the right side and can make me look and sound like I've had a stroke.

DD12 behavior waiting for specialist appointment to get the diagnosis sorted.

My Dad's declining health and being left to look after him and the house,even though I'm the youngest of 3 children and the one that's health is shot to bits and one of my brothers lives with him!

Other close members of family health declining,Friday night found out one of my cousins has died of bowel cancer,my closest aunt now has alzheimers and is declining fast,another auntie is having heart problems and her husband(my Uncle)has just had another heart attack.

Oldest DS being a pain in the arse,works hard good job,but my God he's hard work,always home hours and hours late worrying the life out of us all,bloody messy,a short fuse and crap with money.

And finally the house being far to small for all 7 of us.

Finances and friends/family demanding more from us than we can give with 2 small kids and a business to run.

Constantly managing my bipolar and the fear of another relapse. I was only discharged from hospital last month--it was the worst yet and I came so, so close to dying.
The fear that DD1 is showing signs of depression.
But I think (& even more so after reading this thread) that life could be much, much worse.

My heart also goes out to some people who are having extremely tough lives.

I do get stressed when I'm I'll, which is often and I do get stressed when I visit my mum with dementia now in a care home particularly when she's had a bad day and bitten a carer .

I've come through some very, very tough times as well.

I hope for everyone struggling today things get better starting from right now.

I hate the saying what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. It sounds so crass but I have gained in strength from my bad times.

Hope today is lovely for all of us .

Dowser that's how I was raised what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.My Mum always drummed that into me just like my Nan(my Mum's Mum)had always drummed into her.

It works for me,I've always found it really helpful,I have lots of friends and family telling me constantly that they couldn't cope with what I/we have going on,but I' the one that's generally always happy and smiling.

I've always been a glass half filled kind of girl and I'm really grateful for that,I don't think I'd probably cope if I wasn't wired that way.

My Dad has dementia,I know how incredibly hard and how sad it is when it affects someone you love so dearly,I'm really sorry about your Mum,I hope she starts having less bad days for both of you.

And I hope your having a lovely Sunday.Were just off out for a picnic and a splash in the paddling pool by the park were going to.

My house is to small and my dh is a workaholic. It is like living in an office.

I wish with all my heart that my mental health was normal. All my life I've suffered from obsessive intrusive thoughts. I've earned to manage them but it's be nice to be able to think clearly occasionally, and to be able to focus. I find it very stressful.
