To feel like giving up

[ThisLifeIsHard]

I'm so fed up. Everything is so so so bloody hard. I've had enough :( Nothing NOTHING ever goes fucking well.

Apply for a school place - every fucking child that applies gets a place ...EVERY fucking one (120 children)...... except ours who is now the only child on the wait list.

Apply for a club my other childhas been wanting to get into for months (been on wait list for months and mobths), was told he get a place this term) now .... sorry, he missed out by ONE slot, so has to wait ANOTHER term.

Money - it's gone. I have none. Zero. Zip. Zilch.

Family - crisis to crisis.

I have had ENOUGH.

Can't something, just ONE little thing, go in my favour. Every other fucker seems to breeze through.

I'm done.

Maybe you just need to rant and that's fine. But is there anything we can actually help with? Anything you want to expand on in the hope someone can suggest something? MN always seems to have the answer.

I shall resist the temptation to say something 'deep and meaningful' about how you need rain to get rainbows, or about what doesn't kill us etc., it's of no use whatsoever.

I am just so tired of things going wrong. They r just little things, each one quite minor in the grand scheme of things, but just every time I open my email there's another set back and I've had enough of it. I dont want to struggle anymore.

I understand the struggle. My little girl is just young but life is so tough and I don't understand how others have it so easy. We have no help or support. I recon other folks have help. Hang on in there and stay strong.

This is my last 2 years. I’m so sorry.

I sit at night and try to count my blessings, and list what’s good. Kids health, good marriage etc rather than my shit abusive family and our worsening financial situation just the tip of the iceberg.

I hope things look up soon, it’s awful living like this.

I just don't get it. I use to be so optimistic but life is so shit. I used to think life is what you make it and all that. If I think happy I'll be happy etc.. but it's all fucking lies. Life is is a shit hole and I hate it. If there is a God he's evil and twisted and I hate him

Yeah, minor things all add up to become one great big lead weight. I will try and unpick, apologies in advance if you think I'm being overbearing!

The school place: How old is the DC in question and how long is the list? Is there a danger they might not get in at all? I know this is probably scant consolation but you can bet that people will drop out, perhaps due to a house move or being able to go private. What are the other choices like in terms of quality and convenience? Is there a feasible alternative?

The club: Sadly, nothing can be done really. But is your DC's place a cert for next term?

Money: How long until you next receive any? Usual advice about pawnbrokers, ebay, loyalty points. Do you have enough food to last? Do you know anyone able to lend you a little £ or food? If you want any help with ebay, just ask me - I sell quite a lot.

Family: I take it you are the mediator for everything, the person expected to sort everything and everybody out. Women always bloody are. Do you feel able to select what you deal with? Leave drama queens/kings to sort themselves out, let grown adults solve their own issues? Can you delegate? What would happen if you read the riot act?

OP, I feel you. I understand. Rant away
