Sick to my stomach with stress. After l sent all my files to accountant, I hear nothing for a month. So I nudged and then it's "send this" and "send that" and I have to pull bank statements off an app that lets you do one at a time, and then he finds something which doesn't match up and there's a wild goose chase where I do most of the legwork until he figures out what is going on. Then he sends me tax figures that I owe which make no sense, but looks like it will completely wipe out my financial safety and security in one go, after all the work I have been putting in (to the point of making myself ill). Today has been a fucking disaster, I'm waiting to hear because the wording was so vague int could be the difference between owing £8000 and £4000 and I still don't know.

And I'm paying for this.

Actually it looks closer to £11k I owe. My tax liability is like £5k but I have to find £11k. Totally baffled and accountant is AWOL. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Knew it all appeared to be going too well.

Now what I owe has gone down by £4k, but apparently because I didn't pay enough in advance last time I don't get till Jan 31st like every other sole trader in the UK, I have to pay it immediately. I sincerely, wholeheartedly, 100% for sure FUCKING HATE the Uk tax system.

@AvidFan so sorry to hear what you're going through *hug10 I hope it gets resolved in your favour. Financial stress is so draining. Please look after yourself.
Thank you. I have 2 face to face meetings to get through, I usually enjoy them hopefully it will take my mind elsewhere. I'm determined to take a cab home tonight rather than fight my way on the bus. Not dealing with the bus today on top of all this. 🙄

I'm so sorry. Anxiety has kind of ruled my life for years. Recently I started taking Clonidine. It's blood pressure medicine that is really helping me manage the intense physical symptoms of anxiety. Take care. Deep breath

I feel shy because this is my first time on here and I wanted to see what this community is like and how everyone is doing, but I'm not very good at my social skills.
I think we're a nice bunch of people on the whole. We all have our ups and downs too! Welcome and I hope you find something valuable in this forum for you!

I hope you feel better with all that's going on for you today AvidFan. *console*sadhug
Thanks so much! Tt's just been one of those "If life could script a day that was sufficiently annoying just to crash your mood and exhaust you without actually destroying anything" kind of days. Started with my (new) laptop blue screening (then being fine) and ended yelling at a taxi driver who couldn't speak English so went straight on instead of right and then did an insane U-turn in a busy road and I took the taxi to avoid the stress of the bus! At least it was over quick! And it has rained ALL DAY. Things could be a lot worse, I just felt on the verge of screaming several times today. I'm on my sofa trying to recover now!

I'm trying to chill out and reduce my anxiety bcz my niece admitted herself into the hospital after calling 911. Well, they admitted her. So, I am going to get her little dog. Luckily my friend is driving me bcz it's over an hour away. I'm worried about over feeding him and putting my cats in the bedroom. But the most important thing is that my niece get help, hopefully some medicine to get over this hump that she's in. Thank you all for going through this with me.
 
Nervous about the black sash test tomorrow (equivalent of a black belt in Karate but not as difficult). I reviewed my weak points and found I knew what to do. It's a 3 1/2 hour test. Maybe 4 but I doubt it. Anyway a long day. But I'll be all right. I just fear that I'm going in with the wrong attitude - the attitude that says that having or not having the black sash belt achievement does not define me. Oh well, we'll see how I do. If I don't screw up too bad I have the rank.
