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

[naturalcrackle111]

New bathroom needed
dh needs a car

My twin sister has come out with a tsunami of 40 years of grudges and grievances against me. I am blindsided and shocked and grieving memories I can't trust anymore.
My eldest dd has a MS diagnosis and health problems and a new treatment is chemo. Very overwhelmed right now.

I want my mum. Lost her in August. Cancer.

Probably going to lose my job in the latest NHS restructure

DS1 (10) autistic, lonely, not having a great time at school, getting increasingly violent with me and his younger brother. He’s starting to leave bruises and gives his brother nosebleeds

No energy to do anything, at the moment I just want to cry my eyes out

I know I’m luckier than a lot of other people, objectively I’m ok. Just feels pretty shit sometimes

More likely Wankers Crescent

Oh goodness, I’m so sorry ❤️

I keep making mistakes in my new job and it feels so stressful. None are big but they make me look and feel incompetent. Not all are my fault, it’s a team that have worked together for a long time and have a shorthand with each other. I check and check I’ve understood what I’m being asked, but still get it wrong. So frustrating.

Blimey are you for real 😮or just bored

I’m sorry everyone who is going through such difficult times.

Insignificant compared to what I’ve read, and puts my minor problem of having 3 stones to lose into perspective.

My health. I had failed surgery to remove parathyroid glands in 2017 and I’ve been deteriorating ever since. Multiple ED admissions with tachycardia of 130 bpm etc. Minerals and electrolytes all over the place dangerously so. No surgeon in Ireland with expertise to help me. Trying to get scans on a disk to surgeon in England has taken over 3 months to date due to incompetent Endocrine secretary. She’s going to give me a heart attack literally!

Praying4Peace same problem for me so sending you best wishes and everyone else here who are going through horrendous times

Dc1 is going to university in just over a month and I'm worried he won't come back
Dc2 is 7 months into what was supposed to be a 2 month waiting list for minor surgery but he has autism and can't stand anyone touching him. I'm scared he won't cope and have a screaming meltdown in the hospital which is going to be traumatic for everyone as he is 17 and man sized and going to be on the children's day surgery ward.
Dc3 is 14 months into a 3 year wait to be assessed for adhd and he's really struggling.
Dc4 has an appointment this week to discuss a shadow on his x ray
Dc5 is going to secondary school in September and the LA is refusing to fund his ehcp properly.

I'm dyslexic and really struggling with life admin at the moment. Managed to forget youngest 's swimming trunks this morning because i thought it was next week he had swimming and goodness knows what else I've forgotten.

Mine is people who have no capacity for empathy, and take delight in posting insensitive and obviously goady responses when they can see people have real stress and trauma in their lives.

Chronically depressed DH and widowed MIL who is an alcoholic and keeps lurching from crisis to crisis and has often landed up in hospital due to drinking. We are scared every time we can a call from friends or neighbours about MIL that it will be THAT call. Living with the guilt, anxiety and other mixed emotions that come with this predicament...if you have ever had an alcoholic in the family you know what I'm talking about.
But we keep our heads above water and we are fortunate in many aspects of our lives. Reading some of the posts here has been quite a reality check for me today. My heart goes out to those of you experiencing such devastating losses and hardships in life ❤️

We just don't earn enough money to keep up with the basic cost of living and it is a fight every single month despite both of us working as hard as we can.

Same here.

I know it's nothing like some of these heart breaking posts. Waiting for a hospital appointment in August to get my non verbal almost 3 year olds ears checked. Been told that if his ears are fine then I'm going to have to start the process of him being assessed for autism as not talking isn't the only concern the health services have about him😔

You are a disgrace.

One disabled child, struggling to get her what she needs and struggling with her behaviour. Long, long waiting for the support with it that we need now. Dreading the summer holidays as her needs are really going to limit what we can do with my boys as well.

Another DS with type 1 diabetes which is just draining as you have to think about it all day every day and awake constantly in the night managing it. On the pathway for a pump though which will hopefully improve things a bit.

House needs a huge amount of work doing and absolutely no money to do any of it or move. Desperately trying to debts paid so we can save some money towards work or moving.

Waiting for FIL to have tests to see how well/if cancer treatment has worked.

I totally get the struggle with life admin and forgetting things. I also have 5 children all with their own things going on. My eldest has just been diagnosed with with endometriosis and ibs, ds has appointments later in the year to discuss a big operation, dd2 lives 200 miles away and I worry about her loads and my grandchild, dd3 is 11 and is going through a rebellious stage and dd4 has just been diagnosed with adhd and autism. I’ve been diagnosed with bpd, adhd and dyslexia and trying to help them all and dealing with stress, anxiety and overwhelm is tipping me over the edge. I don’t have the headspace for it

My SEN child started home educating last year (Yr9) and I've made choices for her for next year to do just 3 GCSEs as I think it's all she can cope with but she is lonely and a bit bored (so so much better than burned out and selectively mute). Getting the balance right is hard and I worry ao much about her future and her ever being employable.

My daughter has been bedbound for 7 years with severe M.E.
Dealing with all her care and also her 2 sisters who are autistic/learning disabilities.
Exhausted with stress and worry for their future.
Limited help available. Can't go on holiday or get a break as needed every day.
Just can't see a good future or a chance there may a recovery from M.E.

Mine is a first world one. Im a total career failure,M.A, other qualifications, never earned over £36k. Just took a wrong turn at every junction and ended up struggling. But I have my health and I'm pretty good with money so... its okay.

I've had some horrible abusive relationships likely a result of my dad being abusive and me just thinking I was nothing. Im in my 40s now and although I have began seeing someone recently, I am incredibly anxious about everything and often finding i do not act myself around her at all. Nervous and sort of feel I am pretending to be someone i am not.

Sorry that was in response to @elliejjtiny

I also have 2 sons, one of whom is Aspbergers but he manages a job and flat.
The other son is 200 miles away.

Gosh, sending love to all who are coping with huge burdens.
