One of Those Days..

[CazzTheGeek]

We all have those days where everything goes wrong. It was my turn today..
Someone mistakenly took my laundry slot, all sorted. Then my grocery shop was delivered, £50 worth of frozen/chilled shopping was defrosted or warm. Took a lot of arguing but got the refund. Then I booked the wrong date for my birthday dinner, got it sorted.

Between doing all this I'm cleaning and doing laundry.

I'm overwhelmed, brain is in chaos mode. Dealing with it by taking 5 and doing deep breathing. Frustrated because it takes me so long to get back into a good head space without overthinking what's happened today. Anyone who wants to share their bay day or advice, feel free.

Well not sure if this helps. A former member of our rv park was assaulted by another person living here. After I said to my husband we need to tell the park owner the victim called my husband saying she would burn the rv park down if the man who assaulted her was arrested. The landlord was told about this then she texted my husband saying oh sorry I did nit mean it. She works for our landlord too..She was in our rv park last night. I got very fearful and angry. If she makes a threat again I am calling the sheriff. We now havd onstar on our car so if she goes after that a whole set of consequences will occur. I have 2 dogs putbulls who are my EDAs. Legally. I walked them last evening with my stun gun as I always do. I had a plan in place. Why did she does this? She has had her own trauma and my husband and I were kind to her. Dummy me. Therapists warned me about my codependency traits. I am sorry about your grocery situation. Not your fault. I have to argue stand up for myself when I have consumer issues too. Chaos trauma brain I understand. I get feeling overwhelmed too. One thing at a time tasks and subtasks. Prioritize. I like to clean and organize as a coping calming tool. Deep breathing.

Damn, you're so brave! I wouldn't be able to handle that and become a hermit.
I wish we had RV parks in the UK, it would definitely help those on lower income, and there's a lot of us
Instead we bundle everyone into small rooms inside large buildings, some with shared bathroom and kitchen facilities and no laundry room, HMOs.

I just feel mentally exhausted after dealing with everything

I really hope your situation gets resolved, no one deserves to be made to feel uncomfortable wherever they call home.

Thank you. I am not a hermit but there is a lot of moral decay in the US. People with no boundaries. I did not understand this living situation in the UK. I am not sure I could handle a shared bathroom. I don't think I am brave but thank you. My codependency traits came out again due to stress. There has been a lot of stress in my life and my husbands. I am going after or trying to - the root causes.

I've heard, I have friends who live in Illinois and New York. The UK situation is interesting, similar to some US states. Luckily I have a studio room. Sharing a bathroom and kitchen is a no go for me too.

I can relate to having a lot of stress in my life too. Good luck on your journey, I really hope you work everything out.
Stay strong and keep fighting

Days like that are brutal. It is not one big disaster. It is death by a thousand small cuts. Laundry, grocery delivery, wrong date, cleaning. Each one is small but they pile up until your brain locks up.Taking five minutes to breathe is the right move. You cannot fix everything at once. Pick one thing. The grocery refund is already done. Good. Now the laundry. Then the birthday date. One at a time.You are not overreacting. You are human. Give yourself permission to be frustrated without guilt. It will pass. Tomorrow is a new day. And you handled all of it without breaking. That counts for something.
