I organised a small gathering with 3 friends, they’ve each taken it on themselves to invite other people and now it’s 6 coming, one of which I barely know. I just wanted a small thing with my close friends!! Pathetic of me but just annoying no-one even asked.
Liars again

My husband owns half my business so decided to deal with the difficult barman and his attitude towards me when I ask him to do things. The guy just basically spouted off a load of bollocks about how I’m supposedly a bully and that I’ve been getting right in his face and calling him stupid etc. My husband called him out on his bullshit as soon as that one came out as I’m the most physically distant person ever, I can’t even make eye contact with him never mind get in someone’s face.
It just boils down to this big ass baby of a guy not being able to take any bit of criticism about his performance at work and trying to turn things around so I’m at fault. I’m so bloody angry that I sent everyone home early and cleaned up the entire restaurant myself just so I could let off some steam.
Sorry you’re dealing with a really tough situation at work. I would say to start documenting everything and give feedback primarily in writing too. Start keeping records of your interactions with him. Note dates, times, and what was said.
If he’s not a good fit for your business now, it would be better to deal with the potential dismissal issue now during his probation period rather than two years down the line.
Seek real legal advice.

I feel like my mental health is getting worse. I feel worse in my skin. I am not taking very good care of myself. It's like I don't even feel like putting in effort for myself. I used to be such a high achiever and now I feel like I can only do the bare minimum.
My room is an absolute mess and it's stressing me out. I don't know what to wear anymore. I can't even bring myself to put on makeup or do my hair most days and I always feel ugly.
It doesn't help that I've had to travel back to my hometown three weekends in a row for various events. Last week we had a family thing, this week it was my brother's birthday and next week it's the elections and I have to go back to my hometown to vote.
During the week I have no time to do anything, and on the weekends I have to leave and I can't clean my house, tidy my wardrobe or do any of the things that make me feel put together. I hate it. When I get to stay at my house on the weekends I feel so much more relaxed and like I can face the new week with a fresh mindset.

It’s easy to be hard on yourself when you’re not feeling your best, but try to be kind and patient with yourself. Recognize that you’re doing the best you can.
The mess in your room might feel overwhelming, but start with just one corner or one surface. Put some music on or a podcast. It’s also okay to leave it until you feel better. I’ve cleaned my friends flat,when she couldn’t. Or could you hire someone even if it was just for one hour a week?
Try creating a capsule wardrobe. This can reduce the stress of decision-making each morning.
