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

Hi @Shufflebumnessie it feels like finding a way to ease the peri menopause symptoms could be the secret to you finding the energy to tackle all the shit you’re dealing with :0(
I am on HRT and for me it was a game changer. My friend went on HRT that allowed her still a bleed as she wasn’t fully through the menopause and was having odd periods . Her life changed almost over night going on the HRT tablets.
And certainly for me, after 2 years period free, when I went on Evoril patches I felt amazing and could tackle life again with wanting to scream. They will bury me with a patch on my ass!! 😅

Sorry to randomly reply but I wanted to give you a little bit of hope.

My 10 year old daughter was diagnosed with type one last year after going in to DKA and is also on the spectrum. Whilst it is life changing, you will find your way with it and things will get better. In the beginning everything is so overwhelming and there is so much to learn but it all becomes second nature.

Diabetes loves routine is what we were told, and so does our child. You will make it work, but it will be stressful and it’s ok to grieve life before this diagnosis, take care of yourself and I hope your son surprises you and adjusts as well as he can 💛

MIL in end stage dementia but it seems never ending. It will be a blessing when she finally goes. Visiting the person you knew as an intelligent , kind, vibrant and highly qualified medic who is now an empty shell is horrendous.

On a lighter note, I removed the chocolate from my Tesco online order yesterday and now at 1am, really fancy it 🙄.

Finances.

A useless mad boss.

Having to accept that partner is never going to improve health wise and I will now be their carer for the rest of my life. Not quite the midlife I was expecting really!

My husband cheated two and a half years ago and though it ended when I found out he doesn’t love me anymore except as a friend. But we are stuck waiting for our green card process and our living situation and finances require we still share a bed and so I can’t grieve and move on I’m stuck constantly wanting it to be fixed. I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder after several psych ward trips for suicidal issues which explains why it is so hard to detach but damn. If he’s just left at the time I’d be healing by now. 26 years together.

Money 😩

My husband just left me unexpectedly after almost 30 years of marriage, and, now I’m ill, the two things aren’t connected.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I’m having tests, but I have really terrible abdo pain, and am sick at least once every day. This has been going on a few months

I guess the sickness is taking my mind off the shitshow that my previously ordinary, but I thought, happy, life has become

Biggest problem - my dad has Parkinson’s disease, and his doctors still don’t know if he’s having hallucinations because of the disease, or if he’s having hallucinations as a medication side effect. This has been going on for months.

Biggest new problem - a bunch of parents at my daughters’ private school objected to something the administration did and withdrew their kids, so several of my daughters’ friends are not coming back. (I also was not happy with this thing the administration did, but I didn’t think it rose to the level of something that merited removing my kids. Not going to go into details, but for the record, the thing wasn’t anything morally wrong.) This has made a big impact on their enrollment numbers, and I’m worried that this is the beginning of a downward spiral and the school might be closed within a few years. My kids love this school, and except for this thing the administration did, my husband and I are really happy with it too.

I’m so sorry to hear this. I don’t have anything useful to say, but I didn’t want to read it and not say anything. I hope everything works out for the best.

I had this last year, I flea bombed every room, used flea drops, flea baths, constant combing and hoovering and still couldn’t get rid. Bought a seresto flea collar off Amazon and not a single flea since, have not needed any other flea treatment either. I’m grateful for it daily after last year’s shenanigans!

My teenage son has developed severe chronic eczema and trying to get him decent help has been long and painstaking, its massively affected his life and ability to function for the last 18 months, he’s at a point where he now keeps saying he just wants to kill himself. He’s probably flunked his GCSEs as he had to keep being pulled out of exams due to how much pain and discomfort he was in. We’re both worried he isn’t going to have made the grades he needs for his college course that he really wants to do. He’s hopefully due to start immune suppressants at his appointment at the end of the week but honestly the potential side effects of these drugs scare me too! I’m also scared they won’t work because at this rate he isn’t going to be fit to even start college in September.

I’m in a world of debt and worry about money daily. My rent last went up by almost £300 a month and yet my house is still considered well below market value, if it goes up a lot again this year I don’t know how I’ll be able to afford to keep a roof over our heads because in my local area it’ll cost me more per month to downsize than what I’m paying now and between my work and sons college moving out of area isn’t really feasible.

My cat has recently been hit by a car, his recovery isn’t going as well as planned and the stress of being on crate rest led to him chewing off his own tail and having to have the remainder amputated whilst simultaneously having to also extend crate rest because his pelvis is taking ages to heal. He’s not insured anymore so this has further compounded the debt problem but he’s one in a million and worth every penny to me. I think this straw broke the camels back, I’m normally pretty hardy and wouldn’t say a lot phazes me ordinarily but I’m pretty sure the whole saga has given me ptsd, I keep randomly crying, I daren’t leave him unsupervised because I’m so afraid he’ll do something else stupid, I’m barely sleeping and everytime I have to even contemplate leaving him to nip out or go back to work I have a panic attack and have subsequently been signed off work with stress.

I’m worried about my return to work after a long stint off sick. I’m worried people will think I’m taking the piss.

However having read through some of the comments on here and the truly awful things other people are going through, I guess things could be worse.

Oh @LoudPlumDog 😞

I'm so very sorry.

My thoughts are with you wholeheartedly.

I’m making my first radio appearance today and I have severe stage fright

I have to end a relationship, been putting it off for a while...planning to do it next week...

Sending you a million hugs.💐

Lost my darling DH through terminal cancer at the begining of April
Every day without him seems worse than the last.
I know it will get easier but I can't see it at the moment.
Bless all you that are struggling.

My adult children

Oh & forgot just a few others. Bereavement, Rheumatoid arthritis, cancer in remission but could come back. Concern for my husband's health. Stress from foster caring. The dreadful state of the world we seem to be living in.

Who wants to know?

Hi, GlitteryUnicornSparkles. I didn't want to read your post and scroll past without commenting. I have no advice but wanted to say I'm sorry you have such a lot on your plate at the moment. I hope your son's medication helps and your cat makes a good recovery.
Sending you a big gentle hug.

On a lighter note - when I first typed your username I spelt it 'GlitteryUniformSparkles' - I hope my mistake makes you smile a little. x

@Numnumbirdy hey thankyou! We have tried loads of different milks - soya, goat, oat, even the disgusting flavoured baby milk, no change sadly. We think if his diet was better it would massively help as some people say eczema is to do with your gut health but he's a very beige eater sadly. It's also genetics for him too. All 3 of my husbands children (1 not mine) all have eczema, our 3 year old got the worst of it x

Have you got a wet belt? My daughters car same issue, only four years old, I too have a Ford ecoboost and am waiting for it to go, utterly disgraceful that car companies are selling such cars that can die at any moment.

Pain.

House purchase is going off the rails 😭.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!🤞
