What's happening in your life?
What's your most pressing worry at the moment and how do you distract yourself from thinking about it, if you can that is?

How I will cope emotionally and financially.

I numb myself by endlessly scrolling on MN, Insta and TikTok”

Oh my lovely, I’m so very sorry.

The sickening atrocities in Israel. Not sure how to distract myself, it’s too awful for words.

@Iguessyourestuckwithme Please reach out for help to a friend or dr/hospital like you’ve bravely reached out here.You may not think it now but you WILL get better ❤️‍🩹 there are so many types of help- you’re not alone and you’re very brave for opening up here. Please let us know if you can that you’re getting help x

My grandad I love him to bits andmy best friend but his health is very quickly going downhill from no hospital visits to ten in the last 6months

I'm missing my DP a lot tonight it's making me sad. another four weeks until he's home

Money as income has decreased
Fixing issues with the house
My health and weight gain
Relationships
Concern for sick family members
Trying not to think about war and conflict as put of my control.

Distracting myself by finding something useful to do each day .

Parent died this year and sibling has relapsed. Family riddled with addiction and worried about losing another one to it.

2 children with autism and toddler now been referred for assessment for it along with just finding out they have a moderate pda on their blood vessel in their heart that is passing blood through to their lungs leaving their ventricle enlarged 😔 Needs a procedure to close the blood vessel. Worried sick about them too 😔
Worried that it's me who helps everyone and when I need someone there is nobody to help me.

Several things. Immediately it's my daughter's application to Cambridge - UCAS in, SAQ due, essays to be sent and test to prep for. Longer term is her recent Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis and what this will mean for her life. Also my older child's future - he's working, he's looking after himself, but I know he's unhappy with how life is turning out for him but he can't seem to take the next, scary, step.
Myself? I also have a chronic illness and I worry about my health in the future too

• im over 60 already. There's other family issues.

But at this exact moment I'm a bit stressed that it's pouring with rain and I haven't walked the dogs tonight! Also that I ate two samosas with some chorizo and two mini chocolate bars after a big dinner!

I hope you and your husband are getting lots of support from family.X

Son moving to Vancouver..I know he will be fine
Israel and Palestine …am absolutely sickened by what is happening there to innocent babies/ children/ adults . Cannot comprehend it TBH and trying to avoid the news on TV.

Doing the necessary things to buy a house, so I can live in a house worth making look nice. Simple things that don't feel worth it when renting.

Working on my flexibility. Not too bad, but need to put more effort and time in to achieve some goals.

Using up my holiday time from work, I had plans but for reasons my passport is taking so long to sort out, so need to figure out what to do. Current plan, or do I need alternative uses, that don't involve going abroad

I know, nothing really important, but my life is trouble free atm

Giving birth to DC3 next month

We've just found out my husband has liver cancer and it's spread to his lung. He's 37 years old and we have 3 young children. 4, 5 & 6 years old.

I need to check the due date of something at work

Lubrana

My thoughts are with you all 💐

I may have cancer

Im not even 40

So sorry Lubrana061302

I’m so sorry, how utterly awful x

Thank you @coxesorangepippin 🙏🏻

@PeopleAreWeird I'm so sorry to hear that. It's such a scary situation. Do you have a good support network around you? 💞

@Lubrana061302 Im so sorry to hear what you are going through

I have my partner but i know he wont be able to come with it at all

my worries are so similar:

• my teen dd - her mental health and future
• dealing with menopause and feeling like my life has been wasted
• worrying about my parents
• all the conflict in the world right now and climate change

I'm so sorry and sending thoughts to those who have been bereaved, or are facing the prospect of bereavement or serious illness.

For me, it's the situation in Israel, I have family and friends there. They are safe but definitely not OK. I've been in shock and grief all week at the barbarism.

I can't eat or sleep properly. Worrying about those poor kids in Gaza.

Hoping that the fury subsides so that sense prevails in Israel's response. Hoping that there isn't yet more endless cycles of suffering of innocent people caught up in an impossible geopolitical situation, just trying to get on with their lives.

Fury at seeing people celebrating the deaths of Jews in Britain and around the world. All the comments on social media saying it's justified because of x,y, z. People and organisations that won't stand up and call terrorism what it is for fear of causing offence or being seen to take a side...what the actual fuck, you are actually worried about staying on good terms with people who support a massacre?!!!!!???

Desperately sad that 20 years ago when I converted to Judaism, antisemitism in the UK was pretty much something of the past and now it is rife.

I am pleased at Rishi Sunak's response, out of the whole mess this country is in, that at least shows morals and leadership.

1. Why can't I get back to sleep - been awake 3 hours!
2. Will I survive this cancer

God I've got so many I'm not sure which one is the most significant tbh. Tonight it's hoping my nursing programme gets approved in time so that the applicants can start their course.

Professionally, I’m such a disaster area. Quit teaching in 2013, definitely would not be able to handle it now and would have perf managed out within 3-6 months if I hadn’t resigned.

Done office admin since. Bores me shitless and my performance ain’t great there either. I’m seen by others as intelligent and capable but I’ve fucked up twice just yesterday. Don’t know how to fix it. Line manager is very good, and deflects a lot of shit from senior colleagues but I know he was asked to perf manage me before I had a 3 week holiday of a lifetime. This has been my first week back.

Also my health. Been overweight for ever. Now late 40’s - birthday coming on Monday - and my lack of physical self care is starting to bite me in my ass!!!
