I think if this was the case they would have apologised and /or asked for their post to be deleted .

Is it anxiety or overactive bladder?

Big hugs to everyone on this thread. Each post, no matter how big or small, is heartbreaking.

In intensive care and not really sure how things went from a seemingly simple accident to this so fast. I can see everyone is trying very hard to help stabilise me but I feel anxious as it’s not working very well so far. There are others in here who look like they are on deaths door so I feel like I shouldn’t be in here as whilst I’m not stable yet, I’m mostly just in pain rather than ill or dying.

Caring for my extremely difficult elderly mother.
My adult SEN son will never be independent.
My husband’s mental & physical health is deteriorating.

My mum went through the same with my sister

@Katemax82 I think it's anxiety, as I don't actually need a wee, just have an overwhelming feeling that I'm going to wet myself.

I know that I'm being ridiculous, but I just can't get a grip on myself.

Reading everyone else's posts does put it into perspective though!

Yes I sympathise , I have 2 autistic daughters like that, excluded from school due to violence, very little practical help available

Have been going blind for a number of years.

Now discovered I'm also going deaf.

Seems a bit unfair.

I'm so sorry.
This has made me cry.
I'm truly so, so sorry for you, for your children, for your poor broken boy, and for your sister whose sorrow I can't even begin to imagine.

They are allowed too.
Perhaps its good to hear all different sides of it.

I'm not even going to contribute. Anything I would say pales into insignificance besides many of the horrendous things others on here are facing.

💐 for everyone who is dealing with awful life and death events right now.

Im sorry to hear it. My daughter has an overactive bladder exacerbated by her anxiety so I sympathise

How much my ASD affects my life to the point I’m useless to society

Teenage son (middle child) expelled from school 15m ago, undiagnosed with anything but clearly unwell, kicks off frequently. Under CAMHS but on waiting list for treatment, seeking private help in meantime. We’ve had to hide knives at home as he flies in to a rage and it’s the first thing he goes for. Toddlers in house also. Postnatal depression. I want to walk away from it all and not come back.

That sounds incredibly tough. Have you spoken to a gp about your pnd?

Constant financial uncertainty because partner hasn't worked consistently for over two years. Short term contracts, no job security. As a result I'm in a job I would have left by now if he had a proper job because I'm too financially scared to move. Its so wearing on the nerves.

This is the most depressing thread I've seen.

I don’t agree. People have problems, some big some small. I’ve seen some beautiful support from one stranger to another.

My poxy gas meter has packed up. I'm currently waiting for an engineer to come out to fix or replace it. I rely on gas for hot water and cooking so it's an absolute pain having no gas. It says online that someone should be out within 3 hours of contacting them if you have no gas,I've been waiting an hour and a half so far. I'm not holding my breath!

Reading this shows no one really knows what is going on in peoples lives - everyone has struggles
Sending hugs to all
Mine are not too bad but keeping me awake
Supporting husband to change careers, leaving me the main earner.
He has only been able to pay himself the past few months
Work pressuring to do more office days, 2 hour commute each way and had to fight to get one day a week- Cant do driving anymore
Finally moved into what was suppose to be our dream house, but had to get a family loan, business loan and sell everything we had to get it, as couldn't get a mortgage due to husband not working during covid
Wasn't too bad before we moved but since moved in feels like money is just draining out of my account
Finally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia after years of different tests and trips to hospital, really struggling with it
Also then told am peri menopause - Every day is a struggle
Wishing for a holiday but wont happen
Suppose to go to mother in laws holiday home but bro in law bullied his way ad took our dates - Cant change my annual leave now either
My poor cat has diagnosed with an illness that cant be cured, only medication and will only live for 2 years max
Someone who i though was my one of my best friends for over 15 years has ignored me and no contact whatsoever since last summer- dunno what i did wrong :(

The fact we won’t have any scope to save/use LISA to save for a house deposit

So sorry and please just know you are doing everything you can. Re-read your post and I hope you will see this for yourself.
Sending love and hugs xx

My house has subsidence. Insurance moved us into temporary accommodation for 12 weeks in March 2024. The house is still not fixed. We are still in temporary accommodation!

What brand?
