To think that life is just one shit storm after another?

[LEMtheoriginal]

Because i just seem to lurch from one crisis to the next. I watch my friends lurch from one crisis to the next. I watch people who seemingly have it together and i wonder what they are hiding?

It never fucking stops......i was fretting over my smear results (had thread on here) letter came, all normal, then i got a letter from my dr...oh actually there's something wrong after all i'm now busy worrying how my dd will cope without me.

It feels like i can't relax because if i allow myself that luxury then something will happen (and it invariably does) so i actively to pre empt disaster by imagining it and visualising worse case scenario because life is never as expected (trouble is i have been fairly accurate in my predictions in some cases)

It is shit isnt it? Its not just me is it!

Thankyou xx

@LEMorginal

Hope all goes well tmrw.

@lotsToThinkOf I asked the GP about Propranolol (beta blocker) when went with young relative as they originally was going to prescribe anti depressants which I know is used for anxiety too but in relatives case propranolol is more suitable given the level of anxiety and symptoms they have.

It’s a temporary bandaid for relatives anxiety until can fund professional help with it.

Good luck with the scan LEM , I understand how you feel about life , I'm the same , one thing after another seems to go wrong , I deal with it all as it happens but it wears you down .

Good luck today!

Thank you - its ok. The issue is my coil. Its coming out

Oh I'm so glad it's nothing more serious (though I'm sure it's annoying)

Ahhh I had mine come out too. So annoying and painful.

Not coming out itself. Im going to have the bastard thing removed. The onpy thing that is stopping me is the fear of pmt returning. Arrggghhhhhh who'd be a woman?

I suggested vasectomy to my dp but he went faint at my scan yesterday so it really isnt an option

Lend him your big girl's knickers then
I hope it all goes well

V helpful post Rosies

Especially liked, when the shit is hitting the fan to break things down

into smaller steps, getting up and dressed & just going out for a walk .... no matter how small these were achievements ...

I no longer think this has been shittest or tramantic month, year or whatever as when I think nothing can top it, it does

So that it is better that it has become about today, day by day

I’m very emotional person and can be tough as old boots at times I still get caught off guard randomly with good and bad news no amount of worrying or preparing helps.

Are you me?!

Yes, its good to have long term plans (whether they go to plan or belly up and I must say like OP most of my life seems mostly one long shitstorm I won't even start writing it here) BUT every day has to be lived as that day, regardless, so we can only try to do that as best we can, and enjoy and take pleasure and measure in that.
