Just that, really. Over the past 6 years so much has been heaped on. First I had a terrible time at work which went on for about 18 months and suffered awful stress-related eye issues. Then DH got cancer and although he is in remission, for which we are grateful, he is struggling psycologically. Work problems were sorted, I got a big promotion and was back in the game, it all went brilliantly with a new boss I loved and my career became a lifeline for me when everything else was awful. Then my parents started to have health and other problems which was very distressing. Then my best friend started to have a go at me about stuff which I hand on heart don't deserve, and I feel I have lost her friendship, or at least it's not the same. I do have other friends, but it's a blow. It's really difficult coping with the long term effects of DH's cancer, and there's Covid of course. Now there is a big restructuring at work and I feel my one crutch has been kicked away. I know a lot of people have worse problems but AIBU to feel it's all a bit s**t?

YANBU OP it does sound really shit and I'm sorry you've had a tough time.

So glad to hear your husband is in remission, I've had cancer in the family and it's so hard on everyone.

Cancer is hard on everyone, you’re right, thank you and I’m sorry you’ve gone through it yourself Flowers

It all sounds too much. I don’t know how people are supposed to live like this and continually perform at work. You have my sympathy, all you can do is just keep putting one foot in front of the other and try to find one thing each day that gives you joy.Flowers
