Biggest challenge you're facing?

Everyone has their up and down days, but among all those days there is normally a long-term challenge we're all faced with, it could be something which someone else wouldn't even consider a challenge, but everyone is different. For example Bill Gates can buy a house using cash he found under his sofa, whereas buying a house is a challenge for me.

Mine is currently trying to balance my social life and work, it seems to be one or the other, by the time I've gone and socialized with a select few of my friends and family, I come back home to find that I need to pretty much go to sleep as the weekend just flew by and I have work again until Friday night, which seems to enhance the reality of the fact that I'm paying lots of money for my mortgage and household bills and I'm quite literally never at home. I'm basically paying hundreds of pounds a week to store my furniture that I bought for the house I don't particularly use.

What's the biggest challenge you're facing right now?

A delivery of a project at work. Tough deadlines and a complete overhaul required. It worries me but I can only give it my all.

Rearranging my dreams.

Same as Ruth, life. There is so much uncertainty at the moment. Never know what is around the corner!

being poor and not knowing what the future holds

Just being happy with myself, really. The past two years have been very difficult for me. I'm just trying to reach peace with it all, and be content with who I am, and where I am, and what I want.

Finding motivation for anything tbh. Been feeling very low recently and combined with long work hours I've pretty much just been sleeping in all of my "free" time despite there being some things I should really be getting on with

just getting a bit of a life again
absolutely died(ish) with first job as I would pretty much come home, have ~1-2 hours to do stuff which a percentage had to be making dinner, doing any chores that needed doing etc. which also made me v tired and just never want to do much. Still went out a bit on saturday nights but it was always doing the same kind of thing where I really wanted to go and do well, other things which are often during the week. Now it's just a case of learning to drive and I will pretty much be able to achieve that, so hopefully not more than a few months out

also getting a bit fitter (and more so than I was before). Again, first job kind of killed it for me, but the extra time now means time to gym

did take a few months to actually get around to working up the motivation for it though I have to say

Hmm I've just reconnected with a relative who I haven't spoken to in over 10 years. It's good to reconnect of course but it's been quite mentally draining from going to not speaking to seeing this person all of the time. I've also been wary about things while we have been catching up because it's all sudden and moving fast, I feel really worn out about it all at the moment whenever we meet.

Well.

I don't have any sexual relations for various reasons, but back in summer I got blackout drunk and woke up in someone's bed - I didn't think we had sex but I went straight the walk-in clinic from there and got put on PEP as a pre-caution to HIV. Then I moved to Spain. So when I was back other week, had testing done to clear my mind and today got the text saying all clear. Phew.

I had my plan ready had it come back otherwise, and this weekend coming would've been my last. So to say a big relief is an understatement.

How cold it is...

Nah not sure, probably finding something fun to do when I'm on my own, as I tend to go back to games and end up ignoring people and that doesn't tend to end well..

Planning for things in the near future - when it's out of your control I just find it so scary :(

i'm talking like financially, emotionally etc the big changes that you have NO CONTROL OVER

I changed jobs in December, so my main challenge is ensuring I pass my probationary period.

My job laid me off cause the government didn't want my position anymore, so I'm struggling to find jobs.. :(

just trying not to be down lately

past two weeks (and now) been rough

Been stuck in a bit of a rut, made some bad decisions very recently lolll

SO trying to figure out what to do there, think it's coming up to the time to shake my life up a bit as well... Considering switching jobs so I've updated my CV and it doesn't look bad, might apply for some jobs just for interview practice and see what happens there.

Basically I need to do something, just not sure what yet

Just trying to keep it all together lol. Had a bit of a breakdown the other day. My neighbours below were being utter lowlifes, blasting music at 3am on a Thursday morning. I got madly drunk and started hammering the floor (with a literal hammer), and they had the audacity to come banging on my door. I told them to fuck off, then I left and went and cried in a field for an hour. Not my finest moment and yeah, I'm real sad, whatever... But there you go, that's me. My life is kind of falling apart, but if I can just get away from where I am right now, I think I'll be okay.

Well, someone I met through my job he was diagnosed with Lung Cancer and I care about him a lot. And, basically just making sure he's staying healthy through his treatments and praying that his scans come back good. Just a bit nervous for his brain scan. I don't know what I'd do if something came back wrong, I know I'd have to be strong for him but.. I don't know.
