feeling exhausted and bloated is it just aging or do i need to check my hormones
Quote from leafwhisper on February 6, 2019, 9:45 pmI woke up at 430 am on Tuesday and just lay there staring at the ceiling. The house was quiet but my head was loud. I got up to make coffee and looked in the mirror. I looked puffy. Like I had been crying even though I was fine. My jeans felt tight at the waist even though I did not gain weight. I went to Target later and bought the expensive probiotic yogurt for 6 dollars. I ate it and felt nothing. My ex is moving back to Ohio so I am alone here but I still feel drained. I drink water and sleep early but I wake up tired. Is this just being 48 or should I call my doctor about blood work. I am scared it is serious but also scared it is nothing. Does anyone else feel stuck in this fog or is it just me getting old.

Quote from wild1960 on December 25, 2020, 7:10 amman same honestly. i went 3x a week then life happened and now im just staring at my reformer gathering dust. im trysin to do mat pilates in my living room but its such a chore without the studio vibes. i might just switch to a leg day routine at the gym instead since im close by. u still going or u slacking too lol

Quote from Cliffworks on September 8, 2020, 1:33 amsame here and its exhausting. i usually just do foam rolling and strength training 2x a week to balance the pounding. also way more protein post run or i crash hard. hydration matters too bc im always dehydrated. just listen to your body and take rest days. dont push through the pain. im in my 30s so recovery takes longer now than in college. hope you feel better soon.

Quote from Gentle1994 on October 19, 2020, 2:31 pmfr though i see why you’re mad tbh. i turned twenty and he bought me those overpriced candles instead of the matcha kit i literally printed out and emailed him. i didn’t make a huge deal of it, but my internal monologue was screaming. it’s not the gift, it’s the fact that he keeps missing the small things that actually make me feel seen. ugh.

Quote from luckyseal on July 18, 2020, 12:18 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 Moonwaterway on March 1, 2020, 3:44 ami totally get it honestly. sometimes my body just feels like it clocked out for the day and my brain is stuck in overdrive. i just tell him straight up that i need zero pressure. usually we just cuddle or play on our phones until i actually feel present again. if i fake it or force it its worse. gotta protect my peace first or it turns into a chore and nobody wants that vibe.

Quote from fernspindle on August 6, 2020, 12:26 pmHoney, mine is dead too. My husband snores like a chainsaw so we just sleep. Honestly, I find more joy being alone with a glass of wine or reading a book. It's just life at this stage. Don't beat yourself up about it. We're grandmas now, not models. Enjoy the peace and quiet.

Quote from debra1995 on December 12, 2021, 8:20 pmi usually just stop talking. Lol, him calling me sensitive is classic gaslighting. i walk away and let him sit in that energy. my spirit cant be drained by that nonsense. ur feelings are valid. dont let him rewrite ur reality. sometimes the best revenge is doing nothing and letting him feel the weight of his own words. stay grounded sis.

Quote from Yarnlabel on September 19, 2021, 8:33 pmYeah honey I been there. My knees dont stop hurting and I catch myself staring at the neighbors house wondering who is inside. So I started walking the track at my church twice a day. Just walking yall. No talking. It helps clear my head. Also tried those little pickle snacks at the drugstore weirdly they hit the spot. Be kind to yourself mama.
