I’d rather be abducted by aliens than have to spend the rest of my life with that oaf

It's honestly a strange phenomenon I've found that as I get older, I struggle to be excited for things the night before and end up dreading them, worrying about what can go wrong, and wondering if I can be arsed instead. It's most likely temporary and you will feel better tomorrow. I've found the night before something I've looked forward to is quite unpleasant for me now, for some reason. I think it's probably something to do with feeling an extreme emotion (excitement) and your brain wanting things to level off. It's also part of why you can feel so rotten so quickly when you get home after a fun night.

So much this. I find it with holidays too. I plan them and get so excited and then the day we leave for the airport I turn into a puddle

I’m AuDHD and so is my kid. She’s been a nightmare the past few days and I think that’s what is making me struggle. Anticipating her needs is hard enough without being in a crowd of 90,000.

Thanks for the solidarity, people. I do appreciate it. I’m just mighty drained at the moment and I don’t know if I can summon up the energy for eras. I’m worried I’ll be an energy drain for everyone else in my group. I hate this. Wish I could just be normal.

What is everyone doing tonight? I wish we had a Thursday show 😂 miraculously my kids are both asleep!

Mine are both in bed. So I’ve gone to bed. It won’t be long until my youngest joins me so am making the most of having the bed to myself for now. My poor husband doesn’t stand a look in and has been in the spare room for weeks now!

Watching tv and drinking apple tango!
Wondering what I can cook for dinner - probably something that I can cover in garlic mayo

I went to McDonald’s tongint and had chicken selects with garlic mayo. I didn’t know they did it but it’s a total game changer!

Would you feel comfortable sharing how you feel with the people you're going with? If it were my friend, I would rather her let us know and still come even if she just wanted to be still and quiet and take it all in. I wouldn't want them to feel like they needed to perform if they were feeling drained. Also if it gets too much during the show and you need a breather you could just say you're popping to the loo or to get a drink and have a time out. Ear plugs also really helped me, makes it feel much less intense!

Sending you a huge virtual hug 🥰 Also edit to add - there is no such thing as normal so try not to be too hard on yourself, I'm sure you're absolutely lovely the way that you are!

I’m currently painting my nails lilac to match my lilac heart shaped sunglasses 😍 also had the realisation that I’ll have to take off the funky glasses and put my actual boring glasses on to see the stage tomorrow night ffssss

I have started to wear contacts a lot more recently, they aren't half as bad to put in and take out as you may think. It's too late for tomorrow night but might be worth looking in to 🩷

In which case I relate to this X10 billion. I had a little menty b a few nights back thinking I've made a horrific mistake, my daughter is never going to cope with any of this, she's going to lose it and so will I. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Have you been in contact with Wembley Accessibility at all? There are things they can offer to help - like chaperoning you to your seats. I'm waiting to hear back from them about some things I raised and to request a medical exemption for bag size and hopefully bringing her tablet in. If they're worried about me recording on it I can send them umpteen of her 'show' videos where her face is blurry even though she's right next to the screen 😂😂😂

They do know. One of them is my kid. I have loops ready to go thankfully. I’m just so so so tired and I know I’ll spend the day trying to anticipate everyone’s needs and failing.
But we will see

I literally cannot deal. Supposed to be going tomorrow night, but the energy my ex didn’t drain out of me has been drained out of me by my kid and I just don’t know if I want to go any more.

and I hate this. Because I fought for these tickets and I have been so excited for so long. And now I couldn’t care less 😭😭😭😭

I’m feeling the exact same as you. I haven’t been feeling excited about it, I’ve enjoyed watching surprise song streams but I’ve been not feeling great the last while and I’m so not bothered about going but I know I’ll regret it if I don’t. The person I am supposed to be going with pulled out and I am going on my own (which didn’t help) but I just thought I know I will look back and regret not going. I think just push through and it will feel like group therapy. Sending you hugs ❤️

Yeah they’ve been really helpful. We have the bag exemption for the same reason. It’s just such a long day and I’m just not feeling it.

Always free to vent in the off topic chat as well :)

you won’t be a drain, everyone goes for their own experience and journey. There is no normal when it comes to life, but I completely appreciate that you want it to feel easier

you can go and leave early, or go and grab a drink for a moment away from the crowd and enjoy the music in your own space
