Wondering If I’m headed to a breakdown.
You know when everything just seems to go wrong at once? That’s kinda how I’m feeling at the minute. Just been away on a holiday that we weren’t sure we’d be able to go on two or three days before it happened. because my son ended up with red spots all over his face and we thought he had chickenpox. and the other family we were going with weren’t comfortable with it, but in the end we did go and we had a lovely time.
But then we came back…
When we got back home, I noticed that my house has had cracks appear in the walls, in unusual places, bit of research says it’s quite possible it’s subsidence. so I’ve had to make a claim with the house insurance and now I’m waiting for them to come back to me.
My son’s nursery has had a inspection and it’s disastrous, and now I don’t feel that I can leave him there
And I went into work on Monday morning. to be told that everybody’s at risk of redundancy.
My fiancée is obviously very stressed about the house and the nursery. As am I. but I feel like I can’t vent to her about that or the work thing because it would just be putting more stress on her.
So yeah, don’t really know what to do thought writing it down and putting it out to strangers on the Internet would make me feel a bit better, but basically everything that I thought was certain and reliable in my life seems to be in turmoil and the walls may be literally coming down around me.
