... to ask about three things you think about every day?

[onmydoorstep]

I've NCed for this. For some context I'm in early 50s, nice DH & kids, good position financially (but big mortgage), jobs, health OK, etc. Lots of pluses, and the usual stresses of work, some family stuff, and so on.

I find there are things that I think about almost everyday.

• Parents: passed away over a year ago after long illnesses. I miss them so much, and think about them every day.

• DS: has friends, popular socially but struggles in school, not very motivated at all. He also has some manageable health issues. I worry about him.

• Sex (life passing me by?). My DH is great on so many levels, but his interested has decreased hugely in recent years. I just sense it feels like a chore for him, even when he makes the effort. I daydream a lot ...

Food
Dieting
Not having enough money

Moving house - I'm on rightmove constantly and know the sold house of every house in a 3 mile radius

Getting a job - we cant actually afford to move house until I get back into work having had time off with our children

Slimming World - how many syns do I have, I'm so pumped to do this, forget it I'm having that roll, dammit I wish I never had that roll I dont feel any better for it, oh well seeing as I've had a roll I'll just finish these quality street, gets them out the way and I'll do better tomorrow...

1. food in relation to my weight ( healthy BMI but want to lose a stone and find it impossible to lose anything)
2. at the moment my health as a few of my long term conditions are playing up
3. cricket - I’m a tad obsessed .

Money - we're not comfortable at all, can't afford our bills and I don't know how we're going to eat the rest of this month in all honesty.

DS - I don't think I'm a good enough mum and I'm constantly worrying about him not gaining enough weight.

Past abuse - it just never leaves my head completely. I don't think I'll ever have a day where I don't think about it. It sucks.

My dog. He's nearly 17 and every day I wonder how much longer I'll have his beautiful presence in my life.

My book idea. When will I ever knuckle down and get something on paper? It would be quite good I think.

My house and when the hell it will be sold so I don't have to live a weird sort of double life, half the week in one place and half the week in another.

My newborn

My fiancé... although this is less now we have a baby

Money

How fat I am (every hour never mind every day)
Work that needs done in our house
My ex

Sad that there are so many people worrying about their weight.

My boyfriend
My childhood trauma and how it affects everything
Work

Money - saving for a house / helping family / saving for maternity leave

Babies - thinking about when to start TTC, how well afford a baby ^^, all the things that could go wrong

Work - am I good enough at my job? Am I doing the right thing

A 4th- my weight, how to lose weight and how to motivate myself

Good question OP, makes me realise I obsess about the same things all day.

What I'm going to eat today
What will son's a level results be
Do I look fat in this

My husband's health
My childrens/grandchildrens health
My health

That's it.

My friend's daughter, who died last year and I miss so much

Off the back of that, how lucky I am to have my happy, healthy child

And funny things that happened at work

1. My flabby tummy
2. Whether I should leave my husband. He loves me but I've fallen out of love with him
3. How much of my life is wasted

My parents: they are going through issues right now and there is a lot of fall out from it 😢

My body: I’m not looking after myself and I’m not happy about it. I’m still a size 8 but the least toned I have ever been and I feel awful.

My children: I can see they are happy but I often wonder if they are psychologically damaged by me as I had pnd after my second born.

How much I hate my job.
Devon.
