I have a veritable apothecary of hair and skin stuff,it’s my thang
I don’t huv many vices,don’t smoke,no much of a drinker
But I swear to good I love make up,hair and body products,really

Feeling good, everything is good, but I also have a nagging feeling I’m not organised enough...and that there is something I’m missing or not doing and that’s causing me frustration. But overall good.

I would also say I’m fine when asked in real life even if my dog had just died.

Sore back after seeing osteopath who was meant to cure my foot pain but has left me with far worse pain in the whole of my back. Just moved house and nothing is going right, thoroughly pissed off tbh.

amy85 · 28/05/2018 22:25

Exhausted, confused, drained...

stargirl1701 · 28/05/2018 22:27

Exhausted, numb, overwhelmed, lonely.

Fine, thanks.

Maria1982 · 28/05/2018 22:27

Tired, anxious, worried about my health.

Sorry that’s not very upbeat!

Maelstrop · 28/05/2018 22:27

I’m ok, did an awful lot of work today, almost 7 hours, about 9 yesterday, despite being on holiday!

I’m overwhelmingly grateful to an elderly friend who seems constantly genuinely interested in my humdrum minor troubles and does a lot to help out with the horse. It means I can get on with life.

I’m drinking rhubarb gin and I’ll worry about the diet another day.

Deep down, I’m holding it together quite hard and could have a meltdown, but I think other people are far more entitled to one!

3luckystars · 28/05/2018 22:27

I’m really tired but spent most of the day laughing at a really funny video. I have not laughed so much in years and am felling very happy tonight. This is very unusual so I’m going to post the video here just to make myself laugh one more time before bed.

( Apologies if nobody else finds this funny but hopefully it will make someone else laugh too)

@littlelamb,
Your post just hit home. I'm in the same boat but don't admit it. It's so shit. Flowers

Dinoraw,Bad times are just times that are bad that’s a good way of looking at stuff

Bestie245 · 28/05/2018 22:28

Scared about the future
Scared about the unknown
Scared of people just assume they hate me or are going to be horrible to me
Worried about not having enough money
Worry about losing people I love
Worry about getting hurt by another tosser
Worried about not having enough self confidence, which will make my ability to deal with life changes harder

... but grateful for what I've got xx

FrogCow · 28/05/2018 22:28

@weallliveinacoffeemachine I think I daynit cos if I tell people half the time I feel like offing myself they wouldn’t give a fuck/know what to say. I think people only ask out of politeness and it’s knly polite to keep my mental health shite away from them.

Dinoraw · 28/05/2018 22:29

Aw :( I hope you all here are OK an will be okay.
Sometimes it's better to express feelings online as a way of relief to get it off your chest. Everyone IRL just says "I'm fine".

SabineUndine · 28/05/2018 22:29

Stressed and miserable. Family shit and work shit.

LipstickHandbagCoffee · 28/05/2018 22:29

Dinoraw,my post is to you saying Bad times are just times that are bad
Not that You and other’s are having a hard time.

Puffycat · 28/05/2018 22:29

I’m so sorry you all feel like shite. Personally I’m doing pretty good.
When I feel crap I turn to good friends I hope you guys have got someone to give you the support you need

WeAllLiveInACoffeeMachine · 28/05/2018 22:30

Och Justwaitingforaline I hope this is your time.

Dinoraw · 28/05/2018 22:30

@Bestie

A medium told me to shape up because she knew that's how I felt last time I saw her.
She told me to get some faith back into myself and as much as you want to change the world, you can't save everyone. It changed my outlook a bit and gave me some comfort. What will be, will be. Focus on you, have a Wine and relax tonight x

I'm OK really. A little uptight about work atm but it'll pass; I have a long term MH issue that puts some obstacles in my way at times; and my DM's alzheimers is deteriorating. But she is physically well, I'm healthy and I'm happy with my life. I'm lucky.

For everyone who is having a shitty time, I hope things get better. Flowers

stayathomer · 28/05/2018 22:31

Hugs to everyone. Was feeling shit until I read the full thread of the post on someone's DH calling their kid the wrong name and I laughed so much I forgot I was wrecked, sore (not from anything life altering) and down. Hope you all feel better soon

Nogodsnomasters · 28/05/2018 22:32

I'm "medium", just painted my toe nails before I got into bed so that was nice, and the weather has been lovely but i had a long day at work today and I'm on the late shift tomorrow. Shouldn't complain, I've had much worse days.

Bestie245 · 28/05/2018 22:32

Thank you - if you met me you'd think I was the most stable person going. I'm a nervous wreck and have been all my life x

BustopherJones · 28/05/2018 22:32

Pretty empty. One of my dearest friends just died.

LipstickHandbagCoffee · 28/05/2018 22:33

Of course we all say I’m okay/I’m alright/fine thanks because being truthful is scary
And we need a certainty that if we say we’ll actually,it’s hard at the mo that we tell someone who’s decent
And socially we are encouraged to be composed & holding it together

Timefortea99 · 28/05/2018 22:33

Sick to the stomach about going back to work tomorrow. Hate it, makes me so anxious.
