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

[naturalcrackle111]

New bathroom needed
dh needs a car

Sadly that happens a lot.

They think they've got you trapped so their real personality comes out. Prove them wrong and leave.

DS8 has finished 3 years of treatment for Leukemia this year. Living in absolute fear of a return and what that means.

Yup I’m sickened as that was always my biggest fear. I feel so betrayed. If it continues I’m off.

I can’t save my sisters life. She’s dying of cancer. She’s 35.

That Israel are brutally and purposefully murdering a classroom of children every single day for the last two years and committing a genocide against the native Palestinians - and all this violence and horror is supported and financed by our U.K. government. That’s my biggest problem.

Not so long ago- maybe 6 weeks/a couple months?

Once he started going regularly it just fell into its stride and continued.

I am sat here in tears at the majority of these posts. Sending huge love and hugs to everyone who feels down, is ill or is struggling.
Nobodies worries trump anyone elses, our worries are ours, but it's good to share and I'm wishing each and every one of you positivity, strength and healing. 🌻

To the people who have given ridiculous or flippant answers, you are arseholes.

My worry totally pales in comparison, but it's dominating my life at the moment.

I ran over my right, big toe with the wheely bin accidentally a few months ago. I broke it and I also lost a huge chunk of skin from the top and then it all went black. Back and forth to the GP, was sent to hospital and admitted. They did various tests and found I had a blocked artery. Had an angioplasty. The blood flow is back into my toe, that's gone really well, so I am now going to be discharged from the vascular department and added to wound care clinic. The nail came off and from that up, the whole top part of my toe is necrotic. I cannot fault the medical care I have and am receiving, not one bit of it.
I have regular appointments at the hospital, where at each one, they nod and say the inadine dressings are doing what they should to dry it out. I have to wait now for it to self amputate. In between the hospital appointments, I have to dress it every 3 to 4 days and it knocks me sick. Big pieces are starting to come off, but it still looks horrific. I know my toe is going to be deformed for the rest of my life.
I'm just worried that I can't see an end to this any time soon. I can't drive as I don't feel safe, it being my accelerator and brake foot; the only time I'm getting out, is when my DH has a day off work; it's so sore to walk on; I can only wear my trekking sandals; I have to shower with my foot in a bread bag, taped to my leg; the rest of my toe is covered in dry skin that I can't do anything about at the moment.
I know I am really really lucky, there was talk of amputating half my foot. But looking at the toe (with blurred vision and a little "past" it as I can't look at it directly!) I can't see when it's going to look any different.
I'm just over 3 months in, going stir crazy because I can't just jump in my car and go somewhere and feeling quite down about it.
But it's nothing compared to some of the experiences shared on here 🤗

@MoonWoman69this sounds so awful, I’m so sorry you are going through this. Have they given you nutrition advice about helpful supplements and protein? Do watch your mental health, it can be so effected by these things which makes recovery even harder.

Dad in late stages of dementia. Could go tomorrow, could last another few years. I'm not sure which is worse.
Sister on the brink of divorce, feel helpless that I can't magic her out of the shitty situation she's in.
Restructure at work causing worry.
Struggling with anxiety.
Oh and my car is fucked. (Dad would have usually stepped in and sorted!)

Husband has stage 3 cancer (he’s 36). We had been talking about having a baby, but how can I possible plan for such an unknown future. Do I have a baby when I’m not sure if I’d cope on my own if he dies, or is it better I have part of him in our child if he dies die.

Having a breakdown over my high pressure job - which I was pushed into by my bosses despite repeatedly saying no. So cant take a break from insane work hours or the to do list will engulf me.

I just can’t breathe.

My dad is dying 250 miles away.
my step children are being vile to DH, encouraged by their mother
my dd has quit her job with no discernible plan for life.
my dog is a year old and still hasn’t mastered being dry in the house reliably which is a major hassle.

Wow some of you on here really having a bad time with not just one problem. Sending hugs to all.
My problem is , I remarried after losing my first husband and my lads want very little to do with me and my new husband mainly my eldest who is father to my 2 grandchildren and I hate that I can't see them when others are enjoying their grandchildren, breaks my heart . The other 2 at least still message me from time to time remembering my birthday and mother's day. I also missed out on my youngest lads graduation which was first postponed due to covid, I was so looking forward to seeing him as only one that went to uni, and did so well after losing his dad in early teens.
Eldest also got married and missed out on that too. Wish could change things,

@isitmytimeyou have been on my mind all day. I’m hoping and praying all went well at the hospital today.

Don’t feel obliged to reply to this message, I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts 💕

Just wanted to give a hug to all of you. X

Multiple problems, bereavement of mum, PTSD, fibromyalgia, cognitive and fatigue issues after brain trauma.
Stupid colonoscopy today which has been fucking awful from start to finish.

Literally a shell today.

I had a cry when they started it. Overwhelmed and exhausted.

Sounds so hard. Hope you get a break eventually x

62. Only state pension to look forward to. Self employed. Earn about 13k a year.

I'm in hospital with my DC who might have a heart condition but at the moment they don't know what's wrong.

Thank you, you're very sweet....

I followed none of that advice today but did read your whole post and thought 'i do need to take charge of this situation' and have been decluttering all day.

The day has ended more positively, so thank you for your lovely words of motivation 💓🙏

You aren't alone

Partner has devastating life changing injury

I'm so sorry to hear all of that.

I just wanted to say, I'm not you and I have no idea what is right for you, by any means. But if I was trying to figure out something as huge as that, I'd ask myself 'which scenario would cause the most regret?'.

Struggle, difficulties we can overcome and cope with, but regret is so much harder to move on from.

Parent is terminally ill, matter of weeks. I’m almost certainly about to be made redundant and the market is shit.
I’m very overweight but on the upside, maybe some time off from a super stressful job might get me back on track.
I’m spending far too much time on Mumsnet.

My severely disabled DC has just been cut off from one of the only useful services we have access to / the one that gave a few evenings a year of respite (DC rarely sleeps past 2am).
I’m sick of being too old and sore and her life being dominated by a condition we don’t have a name for and no prognosis and while she’s brilliant I’m terrified of what her life will be like when I can’t do things for her any more.
And my “DH” is a horrible self-centred cruel cunt.
I really really wish I’d never been born - I’ve brought nothing to this world (one dead DC, miscarriages etc) and no one gives a fuck if I dropped dead in the morning except for my DC and she probably would get by anyway

Reading some of these is humbling. My money worries are put in perspective. Health and family = wealth. Heart goes out to all x
