It's been a truly horrendous year and I am already feeling desperate for New Year's Eve to arrive so we can see it off and try to put it behind us.

Anyone else feeling like this? I've had shit years before, but nothing quite this shit. Feels like it's been going on forever.

I sadly think the worst is yet to come.

As definitely said, the impact of Article 50 will start to happen in 2017, either Clinton or Trump in charge of the US, further instability in the Middle East, as well as the west continually goading Russia.

I'm normally an optimist but, the outlook is grim

Flowers for everyone who has had a shitty year too, I will raise a virtual toast to you all that 2017 will be a better year.

I think the worst may be yet to come in terms of global affairs, which is terrifying and depressing enough in its own right, but I simply cannot adopt that outlook for my own life. After the sadness and stress that have floored my family this year, I absolutely have to believe that the worst is behind us and happier times are coming. At least in our personal lives! Here's hoping. Smile

2015 was beyond hideous and I had high hopes for 2016 with a fresh start in a new location.
I've lost a friend, seen the return of my cancer and thankfully got the all clear again but stugged to come to terms with the impact it's had on my health in general and my ability to do what i used to. DC 2 has had huge problems and issues, a family fall out, deterioration of mils health, huge house problems, marriage issue's and basically our fresh new start has been a nightmare in general. I have to "brace myself" before I get out of bed on the morning these days. Most days some shot hits the fan.
I cannot see a light at the end of the tunnel and fear 2017 tbh.
Fingers crossed though for better times.

Yup, its been pretty shite here too.

I've lost my uncle and a few family friends.

On top of that, I've been diagnosed with MS and DH has made a few spectacularly bad selfish decisions, that he now regrets (like leaving me after the diagnosis to go to his hobby for the weekend away).
