Let's have a chat.

I feel exhausted.

Knackered, bored, grumpy from ongoing cold, very asthmatic and worried about a long summer. Asthma attacks make me really anxious as well as knackered. Haven't been out for a walk for days.

Also - family shit, but being ill gets me out of that for a bit!

MrsRyanGosling15 · 28/05/2018 23:11

Really sad and scared that I'm doing to lose my dad soon. He is having surgery for cancer and its very risky. He is a single parent to a toddler and I'm spending every minute of the day wondering what decisions I'm going to make about her future. I just feel too young to feel so old and responsible. I just want to be young and carefree again. And I really miss my Granda.

@bestie245 are you Me?

MakeMineATwin · 28/05/2018 23:14

endofagain hope you are not in too much pain! Thanks very sorry to hear about your son.

Bestie245 · 28/05/2018 23:16

Arewenearlythereyet I don't know - are you me?! If you're me you're just bouncing around the world thinking "oh fuck knows!" While of course every other human being completely has their shit together Smile

namechange123779 · 28/05/2018 23:16

Tired overwhelmed, bit shit to be honest! Thanks for asking! More than my nearest & dearest ever do xxx

Flisspaps · 28/05/2018 23:18

I feel rubbish.

I hate how I look but that's an ongoing issue. I've too much on at work. That's neither here nor there really as I like work and it's a good escape as I can deal with other people's shit and not my own.

My stepdad killed himself 2 weeks ago. Hung himself in a shitty hotel miles from home in a city we've no connection to. We weren't close but seeing my family blame themselves is fucking awful. My memory is absolutely shot so I don't even really have happy memories to share when they're all talking about him.

I'm drinking a bit too much (not to dependency or to a point where I can't get up and drive legally, but it's a couple every night although I've now run out so that's sorted itself out).

DH and the DC are keeping me going, but I'd gladly run away otherwise. I've not told anyone else how I'm feeling and have no intention of doing so.

Lanaa · 28/05/2018 23:18

@Bestie245 I could have written everything that you wrote. Scarily similar. I wish I had the answers but I'll continue looking and acting like I do until/of ever I do.

Metoodear · 28/05/2018 23:22

Sad most days and often feel like I should just not be in the world

Flisspaps · 28/05/2018 23:24

@Metoodear you definitely should be in the world, do you have someone you can talk to IRL? x

ilovechocolates · 28/05/2018 23:25

Bored, anxious about a work issue, tired, sick, scared I've missed out on life n I should be doing something worthwhile

hellokittymania · 28/05/2018 23:31

A bit upset, because I gave up my birthday treat in order to be able to attend the conference this week in Birmingham for my work. But I felt it was necessary. The birthday treat was to go to Bratislava for a language event. I've been looking forward to it for a long time.

Dinoraw · 28/05/2018 23:32

@fliss my brother died the same way.
3 years on my heart hasn't healed.
Hope you're OK. Inbox me if you need anyone Flowers

Slightly tipsy, very happy, incredibly exhausted! Love to you all x

Dinoraw · 28/05/2018 23:34

@mrsryan I'm so sorry.
Could he try CBD oil to help him? I'm taking it for RA and within a week I'm virtually pain free with no meds. It helps with cancer too and perfectly legal.
Hope he shows improvement an you're ok xx

@endof
I'm so so sorry. No one should have to loose a child. I wish I could give you a hug. We lost my brother and my parents haven't recovered x

MrsRyanGosling15 · 28/05/2018 23:41

dino funny you say that, he is trying to get some at the moment but there is very heavy social services involvement and addiction issues so he is unsure about using it even though it is technically legal.

Metoodear · 28/05/2018 23:42

I definitely married badly
I ha e a very abused up bringing
And have two children with additional needs I feel the life heavily and wish daily for it to end

Lifeaback · 28/05/2018 23:42

Flowers to all those having a bad time. Ive had some very low moods lately but things are starting to pick up, hang in there and they will for you.

Right now I am feeling very very hot. Also very stressed- trying to prepare for a flight tommorow with 3 kids under 8 and one newborn. Know that I’ll get no sleep tonight because will be up worrying about what I’ve forgot to pack/plan/prep.

1st world problem I know, and nothing in comparison to how a lot of you are feeling so sending love to you all x

catlovingdoctor · 28/05/2018 23:43

Alternating between “its tough but will get better” and quite frankly wishing I was dead.

flirtygirl · 29/05/2018 00:15

Scared, very very scared.

I sold my house and it completes on Thursday. I have nowhere to live as buying 100 miles away and have been outbid for 6 months, I have seen so many houses. I will be staying with my mum who is ill and i know we are too noisy for her.

My oldest dd has autism me so change is bad and Im so so scared and tired.

I feel like Im failing them, not only divorcing but moving also.

GoodAfternoonSeattle · 29/05/2018 00:16

I’m wondering where the fuck my period is 😕

flirtygirl · 29/05/2018 00:34

How are you Dinoraw?

LemonysSnicket · 29/05/2018 01:10

Tired and scared - have an exam and the info just isn't going in.
