I've always been one to eat right and exercise a lot, and have always been skinny and in shape. I've gained 20 pounds in the last 9 months or so, for no apparent reason. I haven't changed anything about my eating habits/lifestyle so I can't figure it out. I'm only 29, so I didn't think my metabolism would already be giving out on me. I'm frustrated that none of my clothes fit me anymore and I feel disgusting in lingerie.
My husband had a job interview recently and I'm on pins and needles waiting for them to call him back. If he got the job, we have to move and I'm nervous and scared about that, because we would have less than a month to do so. If he didn't get the job, he has to stay in a job that doesn't give him enough hours. It's nerve-wracking either way.
And I'm fed up with having a messy house. But that one's my fault.
I'm frustrated because I know quite a few people who can't get pregnant, and they are all mad at me that I AM pregnant. I feel bad for my friends, but I feel like I can't even be happy for myself. No one else is.
3:30 pm- I left the comment about trying to get pregnant for almost a year. I wanted you to know that you should BE HAPPY and share your experiences! Everyone has ups and downs so don't minimize your happiness or the little life inside of you! I'm happy for you! You have a miracle growing inside!!!
Thanks a lot for that comment. I really am trying to be happy that I am pregnant. But it is just hard when your family avoids the subject like the plague and it just feels awkward being around them. I wish you all luck who are trying to get pregnant. Please don't lose faith or hope. You will get your miracle somehow.
I am sick and tired of my 3-year-old today! Love him to death, but he won't stop asking me for drinks and snacks. He literally has not stopped since breakfast. I am so tired and just need a break from him. Just needed to get that out. Any one else feel that way?
I'm frustrated that I don't have enough money to buy a house and we have been working so hard and saving and investing and it never seems to be enough. I'm frustrated that my house needs a DEEP cleaning and I don't want to do it. I'm frustrated that I need to lose 30 pounds. I frustrated that this election isn't over yet. I'm frustrated that it was 92 degrees today where I live!
BUT, all that being said, I LOVE my life, so whatever I suppose, eh?
3:39- It's me again. I'm sorry that your FAMILY treats you that way. Why in the world are they avoiding such an exciting topic? Is it someone in your family who can't get pregnant? It's so odd bc for me my family is always asking questions and wanting my husband and I to get "tested". It's so uncomfortable. Anyway, I really hope that they can grow up and be happy for you.
I'm frustrated that there's always something new going on with my body. If it's not my TMJ (jaw joint) disorder giving me migraines and neck aches, it's my asthma making it hard to walk up 5 stairs. If it's not my semi-insomnia keeping me up for hours even after taking my sleeping pills, it's my nearly non-stop cramps from hell making me double over. If it's not my sinuses always acting up and giving me a sore throat or ear ache, it's the folliculitis and super dry condition on my legs (and EVERYWHERE, for my dry skin) making them dry, itchy, bumpy, and painful. I'm so sick of ALWAYS being in pain!
5:40 pm poster here -- I think it's hilarious that this post is getting so many responses! But sometimes it's so nice to vent, and especially to someone who isn't tired of hearing it all the time (like our husbands and moms).
I am frustrated that my kids only seem to listen to my husband. I'm frustrated that my family (parents mostly) have decided for WHATEVER reason that I'm not good enough. And it REALLY irks me that my STUPID sister in law (not the fun ones, just the STUPIOD one!) is their favorite.
Whew, I needed to get that off my chest! This was a great post idea--THANKS I feel much better now!
I'm annoyed that after 23 years of pimple free life my face decided to erupt in the last year. I put a question on here a while ago about a good moisturizer and I tried it and it seems to be helping but the zits aren't gone and I have lots of scars that haven't faded. I hate gobbing on makeup when I leave the house and feeling self conscious and unattractive in front of my husband. I'm also frustrated that we don't have the money to get nice furniture and decorations for our apartment. I hate going to our friends' houses that are decorated so cute and ours is so plain. I could go on forever! And to the first few comments about not being able to get pregnant, keep trying. It took my friend over a year the first time, but she had no trouble since then and just had her third. It'll happen!
I'm frustrated that I feel STUCK in my current stage of life. My husband flunked out of school, and we are just sitting here in limbo while everyone else is heading off to medical school. It's so discouraging. I wonder if we'll EVER be successful or own a home. I'm frustrated that my apartment is messy, and I'm frustrated that I don't have the motivation/time to clean it. I'm frustrated that we have NO money. I haven't been able to go to the dentist in years and can't go because we don't have insurance. Overall I am very blessed, but it does feel good to vent.:)
5:40-I'm sorry that you are going through that, I can't imagine how depressing and frustrating that might be. I hope you find solutions soon.
To the girls trying to get pregnant, it took me almost a year to get pregnant, so I know how you feel. It's so frustrating to try every month and get your hopes up, only to be let down when it didn't work. Let me just say that a time WILL come when you will look back and think "What was my rush?" I know you will get your little miracles!
I'm so sick of my hair situation. I have to shave my upper lip every other day. I have to pluck my nasty chin hairs. My legs get horrible razor burn and the hair is back before the end of the day. I want to get laser hair removal so bad but it costs thousands of dollars. One day...
Members attacking other members simple because they have different views on the culture. It bothers me when anyone does it to another person but especially when it's two members of my religion. It does not seem very Christlike. I do not understand why we can't just get along and enjoy each other and our differences.
I'm annoyed at how shallow my little sister is. I love her, but I definitely don't like her personality. She's always whining and complaining about everything and all she cares about are stupid, material things. It makes it hard to have a close relationship with her because we just don't care about the same things.
6:58 here... nope no IUD, but I'll keep that in mind! I never had zits, got on birth control, didn't have zits for a year and a half, and then while still on birth control just started breaking out. I stopped the bc just to see what would happen and no change.
I'm frustrated that my family all calls me vain behind my back. My dad even said to my husband that he'd never have to worry about me gaining weight because I'm so vain that I'll go to the gym and lose it. Right because only vain people try to watch their weight. I care about a lot of things more than I do about clothes or hair. I care about my family, my marriage, my church. But they don't see that. They only see that I like to shop and I highlight my hair once in a while. It makes me feel like an outcast and a failure.
I'm fusterated because I always feel like everything I do is not good enough. I'm freakin frusterated because I have an eating disorder, I know it, and I can't afford the help. I'm frusterated that it makes me mad and hateful most of the time. I'm frusterated because I don't know what to do about it and I'm to ashamed to tell anyone. And it's been 14 years.. I just feel like if I could overcome that I would be such a happy person but I feel like there is NO hope at all!!! Wow Thanks for letting me get that off my chest I don't think I have ever said that!!!

I'm frustrated that I can't get pregnant. I'm starting to wonder if there is anything wrong with me as we have been trying since 12/2007!!!!
i'm with you. I've been trying since 11/2007! Atleast we're not alone.

I'm sort of happy after reading a few comments only because I'm happy I'm no the only one that has a messy house!!

to poster 6:58, have you recently had an IUD put in? I hear that they cause terrible acne, even if you never had it before.
