Quote from Calmwaters1969 on March 5, 2020, 12:55 pmIts 7 pm. I just got back from Target. I spent forty two dollars on toilet paper and frozen pizza. My ex sent another text about the alimony payment. I ignored it. I sat on my bed for an hour staring at the wall. I have to do laundry. I have to call my daughter about her school play next week. I feel so heavy. My back hurts. I drank two cups of coffee this morning and still feel like I cant move. People keep asking if I am just lazy. Is that what this is? I used to run five miles. Now I cant walk up the stairs without stopping. Did I break or is my body just done?

Quote from Daledawn on July 16, 2020, 2:02 pmhonestly it feels like every influencer has glutes now lol i just do squats with a book between my knees because my physical therapist said my muscles are asleep. i dont care about the fancy bands or the 10 minute routines i just want to not feel like an old man when i stand up. rest of the time i read on the couch. if it helped me walk up stairs without wincing id be cool with it but the hype is exhausting

Quote from BayMoon on August 22, 2020, 4:49 pmYeah I get that. My back is wrecked every night. I stop and breathe before I lift them off the ground. Keep em low. Also stretch my hamstrings before bed or I cant sleep. Just drink water and ice it later. Dont try to power through the pain or youll be out for a week.

Quote from Sweety1973 on August 27, 2020, 1:48 amSame here basically. Lol, Just moved for my husbands deployment this month. Doc says labs are perfect but i am dragging all day. I ended up checking my iron and vits too. Low iron was part of it. Also just standard military life burnout. Try adding straight iron supplements if you havent. Helps a bit at least until we settle in new base housing. Good luck

Quote from creekwish on November 22, 2020, 8:40 pmyeah it is. i limit how many things i say yes to now. last week i just told a parent i cant help with their child after hours. felt so weird saying no but did it anyway. im done carrying everyone else emotional baggage while grading papers. just doing the bare minimum for anyone who isnt my immediate family these days.

Quote from patty1977 on November 12, 2020, 2:55 pmyeah totally.

Quote from StarBear on October 6, 2021, 2:06 amsame here. the humidity is brutal rn. i literally just put ice packs on my wrists and neck for like ten min before bed. also run the shower really cold until the pipes get freezing then turn it off and climb in. it actually helps me stay asleep longer since my body temp drops. good luck staying awake lol. going to try the fan trick again tonight.

Quote from Ivorybell on June 28, 2021, 10:24 pmI just say no and stop explaining myself. My body, my rules. If he cant handle that we done. I used to feel bad but now I see it as lazy communication on my part. You dont owe anyone access to yourself. Just be clear and consistent. If guilt creeps in remind yourself that you are allowed to rest too.

Quote from Grovevista on December 21, 2021, 1:38 amHonestly sounds like you are just burnt out. My aura isn’t broken either, just tired. I wake up early for fajr pray then rush kids to school. After work I cook for everyone because mom always says food is love. Now I sit on couch staring at phone. If I don’t sleep 8 hours my face gets pale and I snap at husband. Just rest already.
