  • Really Fed Up

    So sad at the moment.
    Seem to have had nothing but bad news for ages. My Mum had lung cancer a couple of years ago. Had part of lung removed and has since been told all clear. Since then she has been getting very bad migraines, so severe that they are causing her to have "mini strokes" so she is in and out of hospital.
    Brother in law (48) had a heart attack and is now at home recovering from a heart bypass.
    Mum in law fell over last year and broke her hip. A few months later she fell again and broke other hip. She now has developed heart valve problems and is constantly out of breath. Doctors say she is too weak for any ops and would probably not survive anaesthetic.
    While she was in hospital, we offered to look after her tortoise. Didn't like the look of it from day one so took it to work(vets) where it had some tests and they discovered it had kidney failure. Died a week later. MIL very upset.The time before that when she had been in hospital her dog died!
    Fell again last week and is now back in hospital with fractured ribs and a bad chest infection.Doctors did not expect her to last the weekend and she didn't want to.She is so depressed, just wants to die.
    This morning, I realised that one of my baby tortoises is ill. Will need to take into work tomorrow.
    Got money problems and probably not enough money for petrol to get me to work for the rest of the week.
    My OH wants me to go and visit his Mum in hospital today while he is at work and I just can't do it, I'm so fed up I certainly wouldn't help her.
    The only good thing is that I have a day off today and OH is at work so I can have a bloody good cry without adding to his problems.
    Sorry to unload all of this onto you Guys but needed to get it off my chest.

    Well, I can easily see why you'd be feeling fed up. Makes my little niggles seem silly in comparison.

    Hope things pick up for you soon.

      Don't really know what to say

      Perhaps you should go and visit her- I expect she's feeling more fed up than you...you could have a good cry together- might do you both good.
      Petrol????...difficult.

        That's what we're here for Sally. Not much we can say to help - but don't just let worrying about other people get you down - look after yourself too - fresh air, exercise - and don't forget to eat!

          Thanks Guys. Just can't seem to stop crying today. Hope it will help get it out of my system so I can be the "Happy Cheery" person I normally am again tomorrow. At least on the outside.

            Blimey! You can't be expected to be 'happy cheery' person with all that going on...I hope things even out for you soon and you get lots of happiness to compensate.

              Nowt wrong with crying - unless it makes you misread something on here. That could be embarassing!

                Hugs and cuddles and a shoulder here for you sweetheart. I know they don't buy petrol but they feel nice and shows we all care about you. There's times when others in the family - and your colleagues - really need to see the not-so-cheery person. It's hard to put a brave face on all the time so just let rip xxxxx

                  i agree with auntie mo, if everyone sees only the happy cheery one, that says everythings fine........ that's what people believe ..... trust me it's taken me a long time to work that out, sometimes you need to pull the plug out and tell those closest to you that you aren't coping with a situation, and get it all off your chest ....... letting everything build up makes things worse in the long run ...... a damned good cry with those you love, usually makes things feel so much better ......... hugs xxxxxxxx

                    Poor you - do take care. I agree that making sure you cry when you need to, resting and eating right are vital. You'll be much better equipped to help others than if you DON'T care of you. x

                        No wonder your FED UP. Don't really know what to say except that, others are thinking of you.

                        Everybody gets their fair share of crap but why does it have to come one thing on top of another?

                        As others have said, make sure you take care of yourself.

                          Sounds like you've been having a bad time of late and are getting (quite reasonably) down when you list off all the things which have happened. I find that when things get like that I make myself make a list of the good stuff eg loving partner, close (if ill) family, lovely dog (assuming that's yours on the photo), even that it's a sunny day (sorry if it isn't there, it's lovely and crisp here) etc etc. Can be really simple stuff like the fact that you can eat your own veg or that a stranger smiles at you when you let them out a road. Whatever you want but it's personal to you. Whilst it doesn't make the bad stuff go away, it often serves to rebalance things a bit. No quick cure but there's no reason why you can't smile at the good stuff too, especially if it helps you through the bad stuff.

                          Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                          Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                            Alison, thats just what I have been doing. Yes that is my beautiful boy in the picture and I have a gorgeous lab girl too. My Husband is the best in the world. My brother erected a shed on my new plot on Sunday which my lovely boss gave me. The roofing felt has since blown off in winds, but that is for" bad " list not this one, and we will replace it at the weekend. When you start counting, the good things soon mount up ( oh No, I have just remembered the pile of ironing that needs doing) and its put me in a much better mood.
                            Thanks for your kind words everyone, its good to know you have so many shoulders out there.

                              Righto, so this isn't the thread where I can have a moan about my cold and annoying boss then

                              Pretty impressive CV of crap that's come your way in the last couple of years, not surprised you feel pissed off, hope things improve for you soon. I doubt it'll make you feel any better but one thing you've done is make me realise my life ain't really that bad, something I'm grateful for at least.
