do you ever feel like you are aging in fast forward??
Quote from Linda1983 on May 30, 2020, 1:36 amIt is 10 pm and I am standing in the frozen aisle at Kroger. I spent forty five minutes looking for chicken thighs that were on sale. My back hurts. I am forty seven years old and I feel like I lost ten years in the last six months. The divorce papers were signed last month. I am still unpacking boxes in the living room. My daughter asks why I look so tired. I do not have an answer. I drink my coffee black now because milk makes my stomach upset. I forgot to take my vitamins again. The gym membership costs money I do not want to spend. I just want to nap for three days. I am so done with feeling frayed. Do you feel like time is moving too fast for you right now

Quote from Woodloch on September 8, 2020, 1:33 amomg girl same. I literally throw his clothes in the wash the second he takes them off. If they stay in the hamper for more than a few hours, forget it. The smell is unreal. I even wash his workout gear separately with extra detergent because regular stuff doesnt cut it. My bf thinks Im crazy but hey, nobody wants to date a human stench bag. Just keep that washer running, mija.

Quote from Softpetal1970 on December 26, 2020, 12:16 amMy husband works construction so he crashes hard around 2pm. I used to think something was wrong with me too. Then I started napping. Just twenty minutes on the couch while the kids play. Wake up grumpy at first but then the rest of evening is fine. Drinking five cups of coffee doesn't fix it. Try shutting your eyes.

Quote from wiselead on July 22, 2020, 4:52 pmhonestly same here after workdays. im usually exhausted and just want to crash. we started taking turns getting our needs met or just cuddling without pressure. sometimes he goes to the gym late or reads so i can sleep straight through. communication is key tho. tell him exactly when ur up for it. dont feel guilty about wanting rest.

Quote from Farmhouse1970 on August 3, 2020, 4:24 amMine too. Sitting back to back meetings kharab kar diya knee. Doctor bola office chair support nahi hota mai. Main ab lunch break mein thoda walk karta hoon kitchen tak. Cold pack bhi rakhta hoon raat ko. Par sach kahu toh bas time ke saath sahi hoga shayad. Tu bhi rest le, zyada stress mat le.

Quote from Charlotte1987 on February 1, 2020, 7:35 amSame. I just walk fast around my neighborhood after clase. No gym, no counting macros, no expensive supplements. Just me and my thoughts. Sometimes I lift heavy boxes at work and thats enough resistance for me. I drink water and try to sleep 7 hours. If I feel like moving, I dance to bad bops in my room. Its not pretty but it keeps me sane. Why overcomplicate it when simply staying alive already takes so much effort?

Quote from firesoil on September 23, 2020, 12:55 amgirl if he cheated dont even look at him twice. honest he wants attention not love. i wouldnt even reply to him. like really? you broke my trust and now you want skin contact? gross. just block him and go get a fresh manicure. we dont settle for that nonsense. be serious with yourself. he can take his ego with him. no contact is the only move here trust me.

Quote from Sam1979 on June 29, 2020, 6:36 amhaan gym mehnat hai. Honestly, I go 4 days a week. Lift heavy things, run on treadmill for 20 mins. No fancy classes. Just me and the machine. Sometimes body hurts next day but I keep going. It is not fun always. But I feel strong after. My husband says too much exercise. I say no, need to stay healthy for kids. Simple routine works for me.

Quote from Boldriver1985 on May 27, 2021, 4:12 pmHe’s projecting. Omg, When my ex did that, i stopped trying to read his mind. I just kept doing my thing. If he wants to talk, great. If not, i’m not gonna sit here anxious while he ignores me. You teach kids all day, you have enough emotional labor to do. Don’t give your energy away to someone who isn’t showing up. Just focus on your own routine and see if he steps up.
