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?

  • I am too tired
  • Last night and this evening were supposed to be good but were ruined
  • I go to work all the time but never have any money for anything fun
  • There is not much to look forward to
  • My mum is still dead and will continue being dead for the rest of my life and I can't get my head around it
  • As I get older, other family and friends will die
  • All the house and garden jobs that need doing will never get done

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

Thank you. And the same to you, wishing you and your family all the best, and for the best possible outcome in what must be a very hard time ❤️

A few days ago we got served an 8-week notice to move out of our home of 17 years, raised three kids here, (we rent). Ugh

Violet17 · 25/07/2024 23:51

Pressed send too soon was going to say ..... is really annoying me and takes way too long to be reasonable.

Dragontale · 25/07/2024 23:54

Sending love and support to all of you Flowers some really harsh stories on here. I’m sorry this is happening

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.

Bodytec Wellbeing Brace Night splint for prolonged stretch of the Plantar Fascia for the treatment of Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendonitis (up to 6.5 UK) https://amzn.eu/d/0bD18N5l

Thank you, sending gentle hugs to you too. I have a lot to be grateful for but some days are just so damn hard!

Going to check that boot out, thanks! Physio has helped a little but I think something like that would be a good idea.

Bloody camper vans/ cars with roof tents pitching up at the end of our drive and on occasion in our fields, we are not a campsite. I caught one emptying their toilet in the loch this morning. I’m sick of them leaving rubbish, emptying toilets at the side of the road and letting their grey waste just run out of the vans wherever they choose to “wild camp” oh and wandering up the drive for a photo opportunity because “we’ll just be a minute” eh no, fuck off back down the drive and take your feral offspring with you. If they come up the drive the dogs will bark, then they whine about the dogs barking at their children. There’s simple solution don’t come up the drive. It has a big fuck off sign that people appear to be unable to read.

Jumpingthruhoops · 26/07/2024 00:03

Honestly? Absolutely nothing. Genuinely.

TiggeryBear · 26/07/2024 00:07

I'm lying awake after going to bed early with a bad headache & have woken up with horrendous heartburn.

I'm feeling completely stressed about the whole school holidays & horrendously guilty that our 2 primary aged children will spend most of it being passed from one set of Grandparents to the other, with help from my siblings too, so that I can work whilst DP is in hospital undergoing immunotherapy as part of his treatment for leukaemia. In total I think I'm spending less than 3 days a week with them over the majority of the holidays. I'm immensely grateful of the support, don't get me wrong, I know I'm extremely lucky to have such a supportive family & I'm sure the children will have a lovely time with their relatives, but I will actually miss them. Not only that, I especially hate coming home in the middle of the night to a dark, empty house. 😢

Thank you for indulging me in my pitty party.

I'm also extremely sympathetic to everyone else going through an equally shitty time. hugs

Alwaystimeforacupoftea · 26/07/2024 00:10

If you'd asked me this at almost any point in the last decade, I'd have had a list as long as your arm of truly terrible things. Today, right now, I have almost nothing to complain about. Nothing terrible is happening. That in itself is an amazing thing for me. I'm sorry for those who aren't having a great time right now.

KimberleyClark · 26/07/2024 00:14

I’ve got this 100 day cough. Had it for 6 weeks now. I don’t feel unwell but the coughing fits are really horrible, I feel like I can’t get my breath and sometimes throw up too.

MaMisled · 26/07/2024 00:18

I have Bipolar Disorder and can feel myself spiralling. I have isolated myself for a few weeks because my utterly ridiculous emotions ( seething with anger or weeping with over sensitivity) are over whelming for me and uncomfortable for those around me. My 7th Care Co ordinator in 3 years is coming tomorrow but obviously doesn't know me yet. My feelings are so extreme.

Tossers.

PinkSunsetSky · 26/07/2024 00:21

I was going to say nothing but then after reading other posts , remember I also have hugely life disturbing insomnia 🌚.
My waking day to day life is excellent
My nightly , awake like a hyperactive hawk life is not.
( Zero reasons to ping awake , I’m assuming it’s peri menopausal?)

Shergill15 · 26/07/2024 00:23

Constant changes at work which is increasing everyone's work load and making everyone stressed and miserable. Finding my resilience to that is lower due to the following complaints:

  • think perimenopause is starting with a vengeance as am permanently hot and/or itchy and struggling with insomnia
  • Ex H. DD is away visiting him and I find a lot of things about his parenting...challenging
  • Mum in hospital, has Alzheimers but has taken a really sudden and drastic decline. She's suddenly become a frail old lady and it's breaking my heart seeing her so frightened and confused and begging me to take her home
  • Dad has cancer and is not being realistic about his capacity to care for mum at home
  • House is a disaster but due to all the above have no time, energy or motivation to do anything about it
cadburyegg · 26/07/2024 00:25

My friend is dying of cancer - she probably has a month to live

My mum is having investigations for cancer

My exh still isn't paying me regular maintenance for our children

I feel like I'm drowning

BluPeony · 26/07/2024 00:25

You are allowed one freddo 🤣 that's what I could eat occasionally and be okay when I had GD.

The trick is so easy very few carbs, and lots of fat and protein and green veggies then go for a walk after every meal.

Tarkan · 26/07/2024 00:27

Perimenopause and fibromyalgia. A wonderful pairing. 😩

And way more minor but DH got home from his new job, made a Rustlers burger then for some inexplicable reason, swept all the sesame seeds from his plate onto our living room floor. Then said he would clean it up "sometime". He'll be getting the hoover out in the morning since he seems to have hidden the dustpan and brush in his man cave. 🤬

TheFTrain · 26/07/2024 00:33

My husband's freelance job has been very volatile and we're burning through savings. I'm just recovering from Covid and have lost a week's pay because I couldn't work. I had an awful bereavement last year which blindsided me. The culmination of everything is giving me anxiety and I feel like it's edging into panic attack level. Things feel very bleak at the moment.

Teenagerantruns · 26/07/2024 00:42

I can't sleep through night ever.
Work has decided to implement a new rota I'm doing stupid 12 or 13 hour shifts, far to many hours. To old for this shit
My feet, hips and knees hurt, the joy of arthritis.
My DW driving me mad, after my 12 hour shift came home to no dinner and place trashed, plus she hasn't done the washing l asked her to do, fair enough she had day off today, but l need clean clothes for my next 12 hour shift, now I'm doing the washing, she also drank all the wine..(same sex couple before people presume I'm a man trying to get his wife to do his chores, and l normally do all washing).

Ella31 · 26/07/2024 00:47

My twin baby sons died 8 and a half months ago. One waa born sleeping, my other pasaed away in my arms at 4 days old. My first and at the moment only children. I've an empty nursery that is locked and stuck in time. While other parents are planning summer activities, I'm visiting their grave. Hope the future holds brighter days.

Foxlover46 · 26/07/2024 00:53

@Ella31 I'm so so sorry x biggest hugs x

Neighbour. Feet.

FluentRubyDog · 26/07/2024 01:02

DD on oxygen after 4 months in NICU having both reflux and constipation.

C section leaving me with inability to void completely and GP doing sweet fa about it.

H who thinks making a (burnt) meal at night without so much as serving it, but definitely with turning the kitchen into a bombsite for me to clean and not doing anything else (not even washing a bottle for DD once) at all, even when he sees I'm struggling is somehow acceptable behaviour for a husband and a father (it isn't and I'm getting my ducks in a row, although it'll take a while due to maternity leave).

Nsky62 · 26/07/2024 01:08

Fed up with mid stage Parkinson’s, 7 yrs in, slowly affecting me more.
On the plus side, my broken tooth can be fixed, loving cat attentive, great friends and enough money.
Sending lots of care and love to all those dealing with stuff, that is very tough, as I know lots of things don’t get better, we just try to cope
