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

New bathroom needed
dh needs a car

You are lovely and very generous. If you can verify the posters information and you have the funds, why not? But Social Services won't let anyone go without food or shelter so the OP should contact them first.

Infertility. My second ivf transfer just failed after a miscarriage of the first one back in May.

Parent has got incurable cancer.
I'm struggling to find work after maternity leave.

@floooooofy That would be amazing thank you, what do you need to know? 🙏🏻

I don't have any problems at all. I mean I do, but they pale into insignificance compared to the things PPs are dealing with here. My heart goes out to you. I count my blessings every day that my life runs on a fairly even keel and that I am happy. I will never take that privilege for granted, especially knowing how fragile it can be. Wishing you all the strength and energy you need to face your difficulties.

Someone I loved very, very much died last week.

It’s heartbreaking. He’s not just a dog, he’s family.
We lost our 12 year old diabetic GSDxCollie last August, the tears are less now but I still find myself crying about him now and again. Just a few days ago was the most recent time actually. We now have a rescue puppy and while he’s brought a lot of joy back into our house and is loved, I still miss my old boy so very much. Like your boy, he was my shadow.

DH is away other side of the world for 6 months solid… we’re 3 months in. Two amazing DC but omg without him here everything is down to me, it’s relentless and I’m pretty exhausted. Hats off to all single parents where this is the norm for them-it’s really tough.

I’ve just found out my exh is going on not one, but TWO holidays over the summer holidays but can’t bring himself to pay even £50 in maintenance for our young children. Every day I wonder how I got it so wrong…

My dad is in the last few days of his life

Entitled arseholes! They want it now. Now and immediately. Arseholes!

Employer being difficult about flexible working request!
So unnecessary.

I run my own business in London that is sucking my soul and energy, I make good money but I don't have a life, time for hobbies or socialising. I feel like a hamster in a wheel and don't know how to get out of it. I'm just a cog in the machine, a slave for capitalism and I'm not happy. I dream of moving to the mediterranean, living off grid, growing my own vegetables and giving my middle finger to technology.

Wow this thread is a bit of a light bulb to check my privilege. So many are dealing with literally life-changing shite, feel almost ashamed that I've even thought of my minor issues as 'problems' in comparison tbh.

Grateful for mine and my families health, contentment and security right now.

No our lives aren't perfect but we aren't dealing with anything on the scale of what lot of posters are 😢

Our house has been on the market for five weeks, we had two viewings four weeks ago and nothing since. It’s not just our house, the housing market is stagnant around here and on our estate houses usually sell within a week or two but one has been reduced twice and been on the market since January.
We want to move out of the area and have seen two new build houses which will be available soon and are perfect for what we need. After seeing these anything else would feel like we were making a compromise and settling for second best but if we don’t get an offer on our house soon we’ll likely miss out on these plots and be in that position.

My arthritic knees. Recently diagnosed and in constant pain, my life has changed.

Third pregnancy is a lot harder than the other two. I expected that I would breeze this one but I can’t eat anything, the smell of most things makes me want to throw up, and my back hurts. Baby is fine though so I am extremely grateful for that, actually she’s doing very well… since she is leeching my life force out of me lol.

Other biggest issue is we need a new car, meaning one of us needs to sell our car. He thinks I should sell my pink fiat, but I think he should sell his car. I’ve carried three of his children, and been pregnant for a lot of my 20s… I’m keeping Fifi the Fiat.

Honestly, it could be much worse. I know DH will back down on the car thing, I can already sense he is thinking about it.

Son addicted to cocaine, trying desperately to stop but as we all know it hard. No job, no money.

Me - marriage breakdown because of son, thought we were getting closer again but he’s backed off with the (probably genuine) excuse of mental health.

No money, house looks like shit. Too depressed to sort it out. Overweight and comfort eating.

Nothing to some people’s problems I know but it’s too much for me.

3 cats and fleas. Think we’re over the worse on day 2 or no fleas when combing cats and I’m so over hoovering every single day,, routine is clean cats, hoover, spray indorex wait. Repeat. 3 weeks of this shite now

I have a suspicion that my 16 year old cat is seriously sick, cant afford investigative vet treatment (shes insured but changed policies and dont really understand (year cover or something?) and I need to make a call on whether times up. 😟 it makes me feel permanently sick, she's my best friend

I have less than £5 in my bank account at any given time and a DD to kit out for moving to big school.

I hope pp's feel some relief sharing their worries and thoughts. 💐 Life can be very difficult for many people.

Have you looked to see if there’s any school uniform drives locally. We have one where I live where people donate old uniform all year round and then it’s open in the six weeks holiday for family’s to pick out what they need

Me too. It’s been a hard thread to read 🥺
