What have you got to complain about in life right now?

[Greerton]

I have:

• heartburn
• swollen down there (v painful)
• spot on my tongue
• AND a cold
• can’t eat choc I am very close to getting gestational diabetes and thats all I want right now

Pregnant and still have 2 months to go. Dh is away and I’m in bed with my dog who is waiting for my brother to come take him for a walk. So he’s being a little naughty. Keeps chucking balls on my head, bless him.

Misery loves company i guess. What is pissing you off?

A few days post surgery and have pain and bleeding.
Fat.
Elderly dog not doing well.
Fucking unreliable builders, which means the house and garden are unfinished, full of materials and messy.
Weeds.

Sinusitis. Again.
Bad back. Again.
Kids up and down already so long night ahead. Again.

🥲

@LostittoBostik try oestrogen pessary, you don't need to be on full HRT but it can help with UTIs and all types of neither region issues.

This was me until i started taking magnesium capsules

My weight crept up by a few pounds and I just can't get back down again, however hard I'm trying.

I've got thrush

My older daughter is not very nice to my younger daughter. It upsets her and it upsets me.

I wish we had more money (I know, I know..). I'm very happy to budget carefully and be all over the detail of our finances on a daily basis - but It would be so nice to have a cushion.

I had a day home alone planned today and my husband was off with Man Flu so bang went my precious alone time.

A zillion medical symptoms, partly menopause and partly invented in my own head. (Apparently)

Feel like my family is broken, older teens just don't want to spend time at home.

Struggling to be relevant at work, socially and just generally.

Oh and I don't think I love my DH but I have no thoughts on what I'm supposed to do about it it ride out the hormones.

Oh and an elderly dog that keeps pooing in the wrong places, thinking we have a decision to make shortly.

I'm also joining the heartburn club!

I found out that after almost two years of fighting for it, I finally won my PIP appeal at tribunal...it took my "best friend" 0.5 seconds to ask for money from the backpay I haven't got yet.

I had to move GP surgeries due to distance and I don't like my new GP. I think she's curt and lacking in bedside manner but I know my mental health isn't going great this week so I'm going to tell myself it's just me and she'll be much nicer at the next appointment.

Sending hugs. Your post is very similar to my own struggles.

This boot cured my plantar fascitis! I wore it every evening while watching TV, and some over nights.

@MrsPatrickDempsey much sympathy. I think you have it much worse than I do. It’s affected me much more than I expected though. A good friend of mine had a detached retina about 5 years ago. She then developed a cataract and has had surgery which was wholly successful. Hopefully that will be an option for you.

Dealing with the death of a friend. Male student house next door having a screaming party. Single and lonely. Ok apart from that.

My 63 yr dad is in a care home with dementia which is really really pants. And my 7 month old still hasn’t slept through the night - not even once!

Gosh how awful. Please look after yourself.

They don’t know what it is bUt I may have hypothyroidism. I have very little vitamin b12, no iron and my metabolism is screwed up.
my periods are so heavy they make the saw films a walk in the park.
I have a damaged shoulder, which may or may not lead to triggering my torticollis, which is incredibly painful and means an 8hr plus wait in a&e.
DH has an allergy to something and one of
the children is autistic with functioning issues around transition periods.
oh and my grandad is poorly, which means my mum is doing all the heavy lifting, no childcare during these holidays and I’m so tired it physically hurts.
im so fucking done

I could have written a list as long as my arm because I feel like absolute dog poop and I'm sick of worrying about money and my kids and but after reading some replies I've realised I really don't have a lot to complain about after all if anything.

Sending love to everyone who needs it.

Wishing you the very best. Do you have support irl?

On paper I earn a decent wage but in reality we aren’t left with much at the end of the month and I’m worried that Labour will bring in changes that will mean I’m worse off and unable to continue to make ends meet, I live in the South and convinced they will be bringing in changes to the council tax bandings that will massively increase the amount I have to pay. Ultimately I’m worried I’m going to lose my home.

My DM only has a few weeks left to live (brain tumour) and it was so sudden that I'm struggling to process it all. I keep thinking it's all just a dream but it isn't. One minute I'm bawling my eyes out and the next I'm numb, then I'm feeling OK and even laughing at things. I know it's all normal but I'm so disoriented and trying to keep strong for her and the DC. I've got to tell them soon but I don't know how and that might just be the worst thing of all.

I'm going to see her tomorrow for the first time since we found out the prognosis and I'm dreading it so much. And that's making me feel so guilty.

We’ve got some seriously tough people on this thread. I know it doesnt mean much from a stranger on the internet but I just wanted to express my admiration for all of you who are enduring tough times right now. Your strength and resilience in the face of adversity is fucking inspiring. It’s important to recognise the courage it takes to keep moving forward.

Please remember to take care of yourselves—you deserve kindness and compassion, especially from yourself.

Wishing you all well and hoping for brighter days ahead. Stay strong.

Sickly sweet but from the heart!

My 13yr old has just been diagnosed with brain tumours, and we are awaiting another MRI to determine the course of action. It is part of a condition he has (NF1).

As my son and my daughter don’t know the full story yet, we are having to put on a brave face at home, and it is hard. Night times are when you lie in bed and your mind wonders.

(I have name changed for this post).

CoodleMoodle,

I just scrolled back through, after typing my post, and read yours. I’m so sorry to hear about your Mum. Thinking of you all x

I’m a rubbish car passenger- travel sickness and don’t trust anyone else driving - however I also dislike driving, especially in our current uncomfortable car . And we have to travel 3 hours tomorrow.

It affects the the world far, far beyond just the US. American foreign policy in particular will have a direct impact on the UK. For example, if the US withdraws funding from Ukraine, that has an impact not just on Ukraine itself but on the other countries who are trying to support it, including the UK. That’s one example out of hundreds.

Even if that were not the case, surely it’s not unreasonable to care about people and their welfare whether they live in the UK or not?

I have an amazing life, job I love, kids who I adore, pets, huge house and gorgeous garden, friends and yet I have anxiety and depression so would rather be dead.

ass over tits this afternoon. My husband watered the garden but got water inside garden doors.. cannot see water on a white marble floor. Family member texted me (she is police) to see how i was today. told her. then asked to borrow her gun. she said good thing she is not local (4000 miles away) She talked me down from homicidal to just pissy. Love my family but my ribs and one hip hurts and he shall pay ( by going to get me icecream tonight) in his defense, it was a total accident and he is totally sorry.

DH very life limiting illness. Will die n next few years.
DS1 so laid back he’s practically horizontal.

DS2 autistic, no friends.
Stressful job, think will have to leave.
I’m utterly fat but have no motivation to diet.
