To feel fucking sorry for myself. Anyone else?

[TinaTurnipp]

Anyone else just feel fucking sorry for themselves today?

I have woken up with a cold. Just a cold. Except I feel bloody awful, couldn't sleep all night and now have to go to work with a razor blade throat, running nose and listen to clients moan about us daring to be closed over Christmas.

Who else is having a shitty Monday already?

@MardAsNails sorry to hear about your gut problems. I was wondering IBS too? Sorry if this is tmi but do you have any problems going to the toilet? Could also be IBD which is sometimes picked up by numerous tests but most people I know who have it took years and years to get a diagnosis and it's not bad all the time.

@TinaTurnipp that phase of the cold is always really horrible.

No one should apologise. I'm goi f to de late this a "no problem/rant/complaint too small zone". They'll always be someone worse off than you but doesn't make your issue any less to deal with.

My car stereo decided to reset itself yesterday. We don't have the pin. We can get it from dealer for £££ which we don't have. So I have to drive in silence, including to see family with the kids for Christmas!

IntentsAndPorpoises yes exactly!

I'm sorry there is no other thing for it, you will have to sing Christmas songs at the top of your lungs the whole drive there.

I'm writing Christmas cards for the office (ugh) and I've forgotten one girl's name. I am a horrible person.

The church organist's wife says fuck too! Fiji sounds great especially if @MarthaHanson and I don't have to be nice to anyone wittering away at us about our bloody husbands and how wonderful they are. I have a stock reply of 'I just feed him and muck him out' now. This year is better than last year so I probs don't deserve Fiji but could go as back pay for last crappy year when husband seemed to have to play for eleventy billion services because the other organist's wife had had an operation. I had four ops, one a month for cancer and radiotherapy and was on my knees with exhaustion. Twas nearly the end of us. Frankly, if the whole of the ecclesiastical system burnt down, sometimes I'd be happy.

Sorry people are having a truly shit time. Fiji here we come.

@StrangeLookingParasite
I am happy to stand up to vile bullying behaviour, so damn fxuking right im gonna call you out on your vitriol towards another poster who dared challenge your entrenched opinion.

WTF are you talking about?

Fiji sounds bliss.

For those of you with sore throats/ulcers, I find making a tea tree gargle real speads up healing. I also put the essential oil onto ulcers neat. Stings like hell but seems to do the trick.

for everyone.

ethelfleda you’re doing a great job and your husband is being an unprintable. Get yourself to the GP.

Everyone - you deserve cocktails and sun. I have a stupid cold, and it’s only a cold so why do u feel so awful? Hate myself for being so pathetic. Baby is safe, fed, and clean, but I’m am unable to engage with anything else. And OF COURSE the cat really wants to wee on the wrapped Christmas presents.

I am a remainer but looking at this thread I am starting to think that Brexit may not be such a bad thing after all...

Gah stupid fingers I feel so awful. Not u.

I know it's Tuesday now but I'm still struggling. My son's behaviour seems to be getting worse. I want to have him reassessed for autism they said last time he doesn't have it but he seems to display a lot of the signs. I'm sick of being screamed at and constantly sick and anxious at the thought of doing bed time. Finding it really hard to cope and feeling like I have failed as a parent.

@ethelfleda sorry you're struggling so much. I've been where you are. Please try and get in with your GP if you can asap and don't let them fob you off. You're doing a great job and your partner is being an unsupportive arse.

Can come to Fiji everything's taken a downhill spiral a lot quicker than I was told or thought it ever would. I would like to end my days on Fiji and if someone can organise their being a border collie there that would be really swell. Plus I think everyone here would be thankful and relieved 2 see the back of me. Ending the Burden and there pain.

Mouth ulcer sufferers sometimes holding cold yoghurt can help or tyrozets anyone tried them. Or difflam spray. Sometimes a bit of germolene right on them as well. Also it sometimes eases when you suck on a halls original or cherry cough sweet.

Flyingarcher I see you sister.

intentandporpoises Agreed-this should be a no apology zone.
We all feel like fucking shit. No one left behind.

Am getting pretty excited for the coconut based cocktails.

Aww. So sorry for all you poorly people. Colds are just shit and running up to Christmas when we are all so maxed out it's a total kick in the teeth.
Wishing you all a speedy recovery.

Can i come please? Full of cold and potential chest infection, a two year old full of the joys (and mess) of Christmas! The inlaws presents to wrap before we head on a long journey to spend a week with them over Christmas which includes lots of long drives getting places while i suffer extreme car sickness so can't even drink before journeys.
I want to get off this Christmas train.

i have a stock reply of 'I just feed him and muck him out' now

@flyingarcher this has given me a big LOL

for me I am fed up as I’ve been cancelled on yet again but another mum friend and yes I know it’s a busy time of year and we all have children and it’s busy yada yada yada but I’ve never felt so lonely and friendless as I do right now.

My old friends have moved or faded away as we are on such different pages and the people I’ve connected with via baby groups/nursery etc are perpetually busy/cancelling and I can’t take it anymore.

I am perpetually grateful for what I have - a few years ago never would I have believed I’d be a very happily married mum of two (and a bump) with a cracking job and a DH that truly “gets” me.

I just miss having a coffee/lunch with friends and actually catching up, connecting, you know?

Can I join the flight please. Just been to the dentist to be told that I have to have my two front teeth removed. Now what’s that famous Christmas song?

Fiji please!!
Feeling exceptionally sorry for myself after miscarrying this weekend and having it confirmed yesterday. I'm freezing cold constantly and completely lacking in energy! And I'm tea'd out.... could probably do with a g and t but then I'd feel guilty about being able to drink again!!
I feel guilty about doing nothing round the house like laundry and housework but I'm shattered.
I feel guilty about not being at work but I can't face it, I'm bleeding too heavily.

I just want to snuggle on the sofa with my son and partner with hot chocolate and Xmas films but son is at school and my partner is at work and the washing up is shouting abuse at me and I think the laundry has Tourettes
