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?

@All3DogsandMe
Sending hugs. I have two autistic sons (15 and 21) who seem totally stagnant right now in terms of skills and goals. I have leukaemia and worry how their lives would be without their main advocate: me.
I spend anxious time planning their possible futures and financial independence.

💔 what a truly unfair world we live in. I'm sorry life was so cruel to you.

Lonely.
Partner in forces and away for months.
Children older teens doing own thing.
Nobody checks in unless I message them first.
God..feeling real sorry for myself aren't I.

I came here to write "four month sleep regression is kicking my ass" then I read the thread... 😢

I have nothing to complain about.

I am so sorry life is so tough for so many. It has reminded me I really have to work harder to be grateful...

Awake for umpteenth night .on chemo and steroids keep you awake! Had lovely day out with my friend though so not all bad,!

Worrying about migrating over to UC from income support with zero savings when it's the school holidays and worrying how to afford school uniform/ food / bills and life while they don't pay you in anything and you wait 5 weeks for it to process.

Mostly worries rather than complaints at the moment.

But.

Me, myself and I. Still leaving everything til the last minute. Every day. So when I could be chilling on the sofa right now I have a couple of chores to do before bed. I mean I am chilling on the sofa. But not guilt free. And my main complaint about that is I still expect to grow out of such behaviour.

So yeah, I'm the tosser.

And oh sorry for everyone who's having a really tough time. Nightmare is always the worst!

So sorry for your loss @Ella31 That's so heartbreaking. 💔

to everyone on this thread.

I'm so sorry. Sending you lots of hugs and prayers.xx

I lost my 22 year old son in an accident 2 years ago and I lost my partner in February of this year after he was admitted to hospital with pneumonia and me and my daughter are dealing with something else that has been quite traumatic and urgh most nights I hope I don't wake up tomorrow because I'm not sure how much more I can take. I am trying so hard to be positive because I need to be for my daughter and I am in a better place mentally every day. Sending everyone else who is going through something shit a big hug and a kiss lol. I have learnt though that us humans are stronger than we give ourselves credit for and although this looks like I'm coming from a really positive place and giving out inspirational quotes as if it helps lol nothing helps and I could cry at the drop of a hat every day but I have to believe that life will get better so I'm living in hope

Obvious one, insomnia. Also, a sore back and aching bones when I wake up. I really wish I’m not that aching in the mornings.
The insomnia one has been going on for years, I’m a worrier. Not sure why? Don’t think anyone worries about me 😒

Getting in from work to find the (late teens) kids hadn't done the two jobs I'd asked them to do, wash up and put the washing out. Tossers.

I'm so tired from not sleeping well and working 3 jobs that I completely lost the plot at them. Tosser!

A bit worn out with everything tbh like a few others

Keep having bouts of lethargy, painful sinus, headaches.
Anxiety/stress/overwhelm
Asd impacting
Worry about money
Worry about disabled son
Worry about adult children
Planned a birthday bbq for tomorrow and its forecast rain
Find the six weeks hard

I feel like I'm always.meeting everyone else's needs but if I ask for my needs to be meet it's a problem

My bloody teenage daughters turning night into day, day into night, now that they're off school. I've just been woken up by their giggling. Still, at least giggling means they aren't squabbling

I can't believe I ever found it hard when they were little. It was a doddle compared to the teenage years.

I've a feeling I'll need to resort to these soon. Similar problems. I need them for my dogs around fireworks nights. I remember when that was 'fireworks night' singular.

Much sympathy OP! I’m also pregnant and I have gestational diabetes. So fed up of blood tests 4 times a day plus having to inject myself with insulin every night. Not to mention the endless tedious meal planning so that I have just enough carbohydrate but not too much!

I’ve been craving pic&mix all week, even though it’s not something I ever eat or care about normally! Think it must be the result of sugar withdrawal.

early wakening
skint - dh has a pension which he wont claim/hasnt got round to it, we need the money now, its so unfair

I was going to complain that it’s the first time I’m getting into a swimming costume for years for a holiday and I’m terrified because I am so fat and covered in cellulite.

But the stuff everyone is dealing with… an unmumsnetty hug from me 💐

@Ihopeithinkiknow

💐 sending lots of love.

I totally understand how it affects the world. I actually live between the UK and the US. I just wonder why people are so so stressed about it. I think there are many other things going on in the world that should be far more worrying tbh.

Its not looking great for UK US relations if Trump gets in, but it’s not going to catastrophically affect our day to day life here.
