There's at least an album of country songs in that paragraph.

It sounds as if you are going through a hard time. Nothing wrong with having a good cry if you need to. You are a strong woman - you have survived being a nurse, being married for 16 years and bringing up a family. My ex told my children lies about me, too, but they didn't take any notice and are all good friends with me now they are grown up.That your eldest is trans is nothing to be sad about - be glad he/she is finding the best way through life for him/herself. Concentrate on yourself and your needs now. If you are trying to get back into education and working at the same time, you are going to need to be well and strong so take any help you can get. We will certainly be supporting you all the way on this site.

Horrible news. I hope the lump is benign, I am cancer survivor, so I have some sense of how you must feel. Best wishes to you.

You need to somehow stop or at least slow down this Juggernaut of ills..
I know gor the most part they are beyond your direct control, and have been thrust upon you..but if you don't prioritise your health issues..you will be in no condition to mentally or physically face and deal with the other stuff.
Do you have any family over there with you that you can rely on for emotional support if nothing else?

One step at a time.

It never rains, it always fucking pours! Hang in there and tackle one thing at a time. One step at a time. I am so sorry that you have to go through this shit.

Please know that A) you are strong, B) stuff like this happens when you are least able to handle it, and C) you are not alone. If you want to message me, that would be fine. I have lived through this, even though I thought I wouldn't. I thought, "Why are all these bad things happening to me? (a good person.) Stay strong and stay in touch.

I'm sorry. I hope things start working out for you. Several years ago, I was divorced after 35 years, my kids had moved on, I developed a large painful bunyon, and several other things I can't even remember now. It'll get better.

Life's a bastard sometimes, isn't it? At least your eldest came out as trans though - a person finding what they need to do to be who they really are is something to be celebrated!

Yikes!
First, PLEASE get that mammogram!
Then, maybe make a list of what needs to be addressed in priority order.
Every accomplishment will make you feel better.
