To ask how you are feeling right at this moment ?

Oh so sorry Treaclepie and others who are having a really bad time - I think this is a tough time of year for all of us who have been through any bereavement or divorce or separation or illness. I think India Knight in the Sunday Times has it right that this month and February are times to mind ourselves, to be kind to ourselves and not time to best ourselves up or start unrealistic projects. I’m just taking it day by day - sometimes even minute by minute and I find that a whole half hour has gone without the sadness and it helps me cope.

I can empathise, I've got a cold, am getting over pneumonia and my asthma is crazy at the moment. I'm going stir crazy just sitting around at home.

Spiky and aggressive and sad which is my normal. Plus tired.

peaceful.tired,relaxed,calm and chilled...this is unusual but i am happy to go with it!

Relieved - just submitted an OU assignment that’s due in tomorrow; it was a tough one and I’m glad it’s gone.

Physically well and calm but stressed about money following the dreaded overdraft text. Pay day 3 weeks away.

Full of cold.
Stressed the surveyors aren't sending me through my house survey on my hopefully new home.
Worried my soon to be Ex will try to cause an argument (he's sleeping in the living room after we broke up on Christmas day)
Now also so very, very aware that my best male friend might like me more than friends. He's married and I think I'm now going to lose a best friend as well as a husband in the space of a few weeks
Sad that everyone apart from 2 friends pretty much totally forgot/ignored my Birthday, even Family 😔
Excited to get away from it all and start anew.

Tired and going to bed soon

Listening to my dad wrote a porno podcast so I’m thoroughly entertained yet cringing slightly! I’m in bed so very chilled and happy 😃

I’m good. I’m looking forward to the week ahead. All kids fast asleep and I’m looking forward to seeing my husband in a couple of hours. Drinking a nice cuppa with no sugar and no biscuit 🥴. 💗 to everyone having a tough time.

Anxious as balls. Waiting to hear how my uni interview went, and have another one Wednesday. I can feel my heart in my throat constantly. 😱

Sad and torn

I know that sounds dramatic! I've just gone back to work from Maternity leave. I'm not finding it easy this time round. Just want to be with my baby

I know I'll learn to cope with it like last time, I'm just just really struggling

Frustrated that I can't seem to find employment more appropriate to my hard earned qualifications and fearing I may have to stay in my current minimum wage retail role (taken to pay bills until a better job came along) until I retire in 10 years or die whichever comes first 🙄

Alright I suppose.
I was worried about ds2 going back to school (stupid friendship issues) but he came home happy.
Going back to work has been ok.
Slightly disgusted with myself since I don’t seem to be able to stop the Christmas gorging yet and need to knock it on the head.
On balance, more good than bad considering it’s January.

Breathless - like I'm at altitude!

@Moonshine86
Have you tried cutting out gluten?
I have autoimmune syndromes but despite treatment the joint pain & IBS persisted.
Tests for celiacs were negative but my Gastro suggested cutting out gluten for 6 weeks to see if it helped & it was like a miracle, joint pain & IBS gone along with other symptoms and my sense of smell returned after 30 years.
Seems gluten was causing inflammation all over my body.
It may make no difference to you of course but could be worth trying for 6 weeks.
I felt better within days of cutting it out completely.

Dreading another restless night.The menopause with no hrt is hell!

Spoiled. Ungrateful. Teary. I just watched ‘I Daniel Blake’ (iplayer)

I’m so sorry Treacle

I'm angry. I hate my boss. He's a vile snake who uses people then casts them aside. I like my job and my colleagues are great but he makes us all miserable.

My lovely friend is being used by her dp. I know for a fact he's a cheat many times over and I'm desperate to tell her but I know it will destroy her. I know it's selfish but I'm scared of losing the friendship as she's awesome. I will do it though. She deserves better.

I'm grateful. My kids are happy and healthy and I love them so very much. I'm so thankful and lucky to have them.

Tired, grumpy, worried. I'm 32 weeks pregnant and having severe stabbing pains in and around my belly button every time I go for a wee, stretch or move suddenly. Doctor can't tell me what's wrong, just to take paracetamol, which does nothing, and I'm conscious that I've had so much pregnancy time off my work most likely think I'm taking the piss. Actually, I've just had a shit pregnancy. People mostly do try to be understanding, but I often don't think they really get it because they have kids and their pregnancy was uncomplicated or because their friend who was pregnant 'never had so many problems as you seem to.'

Fine! Hoping I can get off mumsnet and get to sleep easily tonight. And not wake up until morning. Jinxed myself now

Exhausted
Stressed
Anxious
Having palpitations and chest pains

Having read some of the posts in here my complaints are nothing really however I’m feeling down this evening because I looked in the mirror earlier and realised how haggered I’m starting to look and I’m not even forty yet. I haven’t been looking after myself very well the last few month as I’ve been too busy looking after everyone else and doing all the housework (I’ve quit arguing with my DH over HW it’s more stressful than just getting on with it and doing myself).

Not bad. A bit sad that dd is back to school tomorrow and not looking forward to stressful school runs etc.
