To ask what your biggest problem in life is at the moment?

[Biggybigbiggles]

Just that really... mine is that I feel frumpy and ugly. Having always been tiny, I've gotten to 30 and I suddenly just feel disgusted with what I see any time someone takes a photo of me.

If you could click your fingers and remove a problem you have, what would it be?

So sorry for your loss.

My husband hates my job that I love.

I'm a teacher and he resents the time I spend out of school working. It is now down to 3 evenings and a bit of the weekend.

He did say he would leave me over it a few months back.

I still love being a teacher and was looking forward to moving up in my career now my 2 DS are in school. But I don't think that can happen now as I can't give over any more time.

He resents the current status quo, I will resent him if I end up leaving teaching before I'm ready.

Money here too.

Apart from that my hip, it's really sore and with a bad hip I can't run and I use running a way to de stress. So I feel like I have lots of pent up energy and feelings that I can't get out.

My weight and debt. Both within my gift to fix, but massively struggling for motivation. I spent my 30s fat, I turn 40 next year and desperate to not do the same for my 40s.

Just applied for a promotion which would give £25-30k salary increase. So that would at least help with the debt which is servicable but takes up so much of my income.

I lost our only baby a year and a half ago, we still haven't been able to get pregnant again despite trying everything. We can't afford IVF, and I'm not sure we'll get any help from the NHS due to nearing the age limit. I'm 40 this year and still won't have the baby I always dreamed of. We'll just have to keep trying and wishing.

I’ve had a horrible virus for three weeks that’s wasted a chunk of annual leave. That and the weather.

Breast cancer - only one more treatment to go though - then the fucker gets removed.

This last treatment has left me feeling utter shite thanks to also catching something from the kids so it's been a double whammy - today is the first day I haven't had to have like a four hour "nap" during the day.

Cancer

My weight

I've tried everything but weight loss surgery and I can't afford that.

Nearly 40 years of dieting and probably 100 diets/exercise/healthy living/new way of being and each one seems to have added close to a pound when it goes back on.

I know it's hurting me, but I just can't seem to sustain long term weight loss

It's a close competition between perimenopause and lack of money.

Me too. Although not me it's my husband. Sending a hand hold xx

Bless you sending hugs

Reading some of these posts has actually made me realise I don’t have any problems…hugs to you all

I'm 40 9 weeks today and I really hate myself. I'm just fed up of being over weight

Mould in my house. Money is secondary to that as if I had a magic money tree I would redo a load of stuff that should fix it.

He is, but i think it’s different for someone born here, their whole lives have been a war zone. I think he just feels that Jews would be unsafe everywhere so better here. Eventually I’ll have to find a way to convince him because I’m losing my mind.

I'm in waiting mode to see if I get made redundant and if my OH will agree to let me move in (complicated situation). Until these things resolve I don't know which location to look for a new job or whether I even need to.

Woman at work. I had a bad feeling about her right from the start and I was right.

I have metastatic cancer.

@janeljl what food allergies do your children have? My daughter has a peanut allergy but has had successful immunotherapy treatment in the US. Message me if you're interested! She's 16 now but was diagnosed with food allergies (milk, egg etc) when she was very little and has always carried an epi-pen.

I used to be terrified also so I know how you feel.

One of my DC wants to go to Uni In London and am completely terrified. She's got into a fantastic uni and as we have been living overseas for many years in a very safe country, I really don't want her to go and am slowly trying to convince her to go to an excellent Uni in a safer area of the UK but she won't hear of it. The knife crime and crime rates are terrifying me - she's only 18, will be living on her own and has been living in a bubble for the last 18 years, not street wise at all. Trying to educate her but her positivity is so exhausting - really trying to navigate this without terrifying her.

This seems like a pathetic problem compared to those above I have just read. Am really feeling for everyone having a tough time.

I desperately need to see a dentist. I have lots of problems with my teeth but my dental phobia is so severe that the idea of even just going for an examination seems like an impossibility. I've not been for an embarrassingly long time and it's at the point where it's a daily source of anxiety. It genuinely feels unsurmountable.

There’s a saying if everyone threw their troubles up into the air you’d only want your own back. We are slowly as a family coming out of the most hideous 4 years. I wish you all peace.

Ill health and money concerns mostly. And far too overweight.

Constant injuries and pain for the last 2 years. Every time I am almost healed, another bastarding accident/set back befalls me.
