Someone commented on my last thread to vent here and not to my mother. So..It’s Friday. I’m fucking over it all. I’m creating a thread that I’m about to vent on, it’s not about silver linings it’s not about looking for solutions it’s just a place to vent at how fucking shit life is. Perhaps we’ll create a seperate silver linings thread when life doesn’t feel so utterly shit.

Financial shit show. First time I’ve had 0 income, can’t see the woods for the trees. Debt piling, struggling day to day with essentials, utility bills gone unpaid for months.

car is going back Monday, meaning I’ll have to somehow find the funds for another car/insurance.

ex is a fucking twat and has contested child maintenance, drawing the process out even longer when I was relying on the money to get me through the month.

also ex trying to take dc out of private school for his own selfishness.

My birthday next week, followed by anniversary of parents death the day after. 3 years. Tragic circumstances. Now hate my birthday with a passion.

DC struggling with neurodivergence, as am I. Ex oblivious and doesn’t see they need diagnosis.

current relationship on the rocks, big argument last night out of nowhere then discussed whether relationship is suitable. Not long introduced DC so that’s just fucking great.

family dynamics shit show, fall outs every other week. No support.

friends have gone seemingly since losing my business (in which I was royally fucked over). Maybe because the gravy train has stopped. I no longer have a group of friends or actually a true friend I can call or visit.

various health concerns that I’ve been having private treatment for, due to finances I can no longer do this and NHS refusing to acknowledge external diagnosis/treatment so starting the whole referrals all over again as apparently it’s the first they’ve heard of it.

no one can seem to do a fucking job properly. Even making a phone call turns into an hour long conversation on telling people how to do their jobs. Communication at an all time low.

i hate living in the UK. I feel trapped and confined here and can’t leave with dc due to ex. Nor would I take them from their dad. It’s utterly fucking miserable. The weather, the politics, the culture and most of the time the people.

having the longest streak of bad luck ever. When the fuck is it going to change? feel free to chime in on your current shit show. Maybe we’ll all make each other feel better!

Sorry it’s shit for you OP. 💐

Are you looking for suggestions or just a vebt/wallow?

MN can offer anything but you need to let us know what youre wanting?

Sounds pretty shit in all areas, absolutely valid to be wanting an vebt area but id say pick an area and "so what are you going to do?"

I wish there was more I could do to help, @Cantbloodyrememberthenameonthread, but all I can do is offer my sympathy and support. {{{hugs}}}

Thank you, honestly looking to vent I guess. There’s nothing anybody can really do.

It’s completely debilitating worrying about money. It’s making me ill and keeping me up at night. I’ve never in my life not worked. Not a day. Now that I’m out of work I can’t even fathom how I did it all and how I can get back on track. It feels like life has spiralled and that’s just it now. I know that won’t be the case but genuinely don’t see a way out.
