To wish life wasn't so hard?

[clairemcnam]

Just that really, I wish life was easier and not such a struggle. Oh and that I had more money too.

Yup I agree, anything in particular spark you off or life in general?

I gave up a job to start a job and lost that job due to no work in my first week I then got talked round by my toxic ex only for him to not have changed at all I'm guarantor on his loan while we were apart he paid somehow as soon as we get back together he defaults again I end up paying out of my only weeks wages (took it all) and because I was pissed off at him and let him know this he is now refusing to text me unless I text first (he has done this before) he expects me to prove I care for him by messaging first I'm thinking he is 45 and I'm not a teenager he can fuck off

And breathe! 😂😂

slippery That all sounds really hard, you have my sympathies.
And yes I do have fun, but I do feel a bit worn down by life as well.

Tbf ive had better weeks

For me, it is not one big thing, just the drip drip drip of hard stuff over the last 6 years. Bereavements, illnesses etc.

I’m with you. Are there any small things that you could change to make life better?

Not really. I have already done that about a year ago. So have a less stressful job, although less money as well.

Well I could get a job 😂

OP have you looked up the ten pounds a day challenge thread? (Might be week I'm tech blind from job hunting?)

I'm with you OP. On paper things are great but I'm so close to rock bottom and I don't feel like I'm coping any more.

slippery I can only see stuff about losing weight?
Good luck with job hunting, it is hard.

Bobbiepin So sorry to hear that. Does anyone close to you know how much you are struggling?

Thank you, I will read that.

But really what I want most is life to be easier. Not going to happen though.

My husband. He's trying but it feels as though he's making it worse. Some days I just want to be alone, which makes me feel incredibly guilty because I shouldn't want to be without my DD but I want to go to bed and sleep for days.

bobbiepin Can you be alone for a bit? Even book into a local hotel over night?
No need to feel guilty, it sounds like you really need time to recharge and have a break.

I'm not working for a couple of days and I'm still mostly sending DD to nursery so I have a little time. I think I've reached the point where I need medical help. I've never wanted antidepressants but I don't see any other choice now.

Two DC with autism, one with other conditions, and a series of illnesses and difficulties which are not particularly big in themselves but coming in regular succession make life difficult. I have a condition or two which also make life more tiring than for those without these.

Life could be a lot worse, but even so...

Trying to summon energy to go down to the bins!

I feel you.
