When you are at home or just do your everyday life routine what is something that just gets in the way and makes you sigh?

#1

The ridiculous lack of pockets in women's clothes.

Depression. Nuff said.

Once I set a boundary, stop poking it. I get tired of having to remind the same people over and over what the boundaries are.

Facebook.... I don't have it and I get annoyed at people telling me I am missing out on something. What? Drama? I have a 16 year old daughter. That is enough for me thank you very much.

Actually a better one would be my ichthyosis vulgaris. I'll be able to move one day, but I'll never have normal skin. I'm tired of scrubbing. Bath times are chore. My feet are always cracked and the skin gets so built up I need a blade.
I can't stand most warm fabrics that are common in this cold climate. Fleece, wool, flannel no way. It catches on my skin, it's intolerably itchy. My hands tend to crack. Allergic reactions pop up over random chemicals but I'm okay with some. I can hand acetone but not certain hand sanitizers. I break out in hives. It's been hell since 2020. I used to get painful, blistering heat rashes (but I think it was the latex gloves when I would wash dishes. I can't use latex.)
I got made fun of for having flakey skin and very wrinkled hands ( a common feature of ichthyosis vulgaris and it's known as hyperlinear lines). They used to get super dry and flake all in the lines.
I can't swim in chlorinated pools for too long (but I love the water so I endure it). Sand at the beach does NOT help with exfoliation. In fact, it makes my whole body flake.
When I was younger, up until my adulthood, I couldn't sweat as easily so I would overheat a lot. I thought it was normal for kids not to sweat.
As an adult when I sweat I get super itchy, and then I peel when I scratch.
The sun feels like tiny pins shooting into my skin on hot days.
People think it's gross and don't want to touch me. I'm suspecting this is why it's hard for me to find a job, too.

Although I'm female, I've generally held male dominated jobs like doing security work, warehouse work, building sites etc.
I f*****g HATE that this is such a novelty for so many people - men especially. I've been told I'm considered attractive too, which actually tends to make it worse.
For a while, I was working for a company as a plasterer and the boss decided to take me around to three different sites. Not to get me oriented, meet the team or survey the work I'd be doing - oh no.
He walked me round to see every single one of his boys just to declare that he had (God forbid) a female plasterer working for him and that come next inspection, the equality and diversity people could suck it. He also invited them all to ask me questions about myself and declared that 'such a pretty one' shouldn't be doing such dirty work. Then he bombarded me with questions about my training up until that point. Because I was a self-taught plasterer, he spoke to me as if I'd unlocked the secret to eternal life. I learned on my own volition? A woman? Good God, what is this madness?!
Never been so mortified in my life. Worked for them for four months before the guy started avoiding paying me and I got the Hell outta there. Like dude, I just want to do my job, go home and get paid like everyone else - wtf?

Anxiety. It gets to the point where I am unable to function and sometimes if it continues complete disassociation from reality, where I dont comprehend what is happening. It feels as if O were floating on the outside of my body barely in control of it

The price of things we pay for these days and the 1% keep raking in the money.

Toxic Dysfunctional Family Members.
I can not fix them, it is not my obligation to fix them. So, I put myself into Family Witness Protection Program. I moved where they can not find me.

The horrible grammar and spelling on so many posts makes me think many people never went to school.

The way my mind wanders when I have to do chores. I'm a very messy person because of it.

my autism and ADHD... I cant focus in school and I cant survive even 15 minutes in a loud space.

Working towards being content with life after extreme depression and anxiety issues to the point of attempted suicide. I’m getting much better but sometimes it’s just frustrating because it feels like there will always be relapses or really hard weeks/months.

Having a mechanical aortic valve at 34... There will never be peace and quiet in my head and body ever again because of the ticking valve. But it is keeping me alive...

My social anxiety by way of my lack of self-esteem/self-confidence. I've been told on many occasions that I am attractive and that I have "boyfriend qualities" but anytime I see someone I'm interested in I have a complete inability to ask them out. I just freeze and no words come out.

Itching caused by nerve damage from chemo. It is slowly getting better but had me in tears at times at the start. Never would have believed itching could be so intense or come on so fast.

My medical conditions and peoples opinions about them. I have a long list of problems, many of which are chronic - meaning they're never going away or getting better. I already feel bad enough that I can't do the things I want to, telling me if I tried harder to get better then I could do those things - just pisses me off! And just because you can't see my disability, doesn't mean I don't have one! I'd like to see some of them live with the pain I do on a daily basis! Yes, I have medications and pain pills, but they only do so much and I don't want to get addicted. Try learning about my conditions, do some research if you want to understand why I'm like this. But mostly, have compassion and be glad you don't have to go through this

People with horrible attitudes. Some can change, but others will not. They think they are so entitled to EVERYTHING! (please understand i said some people do change.)
