In the past 10 months I've separated after 16 years of marriage, getting a divorce, remortgaging, got plantar fasciitis in both feet and a mortons neuroma, my eldest has come out as trans, my ex is lying to the kids about me, I found a lump on my right boob, the wipers on my car died and I'm trying to go back to collage! I feel like shit and if anything else happens I'm gonna collapse in heap and cry! I'm about ready for a padded cell!

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.

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?

@Josephine I see, I just think that all of this is like a tsunami and you are getting overwhelmed, you come across as a strong independent woman, but nobody could deal with all this shite alone..not without it taking it's toll on you. You can eat an elephant..as long as it's in small amounts..according to my 10 year old daughter..now that's wisdom..
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.

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.
