Finally forgave my mom for her 'tiger mom' phases… and I’m crying in Starbucks over kimchi
Quote from Glencotton on June 4, 2024, 8:22 pmyeah same. just moved to oklahoma last month and i am dead on my feet. unpacking feels impossible and the baby wont stop crying. i drink three coffees a day still cant keep my eyes open. feeling super gross lately too. hope this passes but right now im just exhausted. sending hugs to anyone else who feels like they ran a marathon just to get through the day.

Quote from Moonfinch on May 27, 2024, 3:23 amhonestly I just ignore it. I lift heavy and focus on my form so whatever he thinks of my accent doesnt matter. He’s probably intimidated since I’m deadlifting more than him. If he says something directly rude I’ll tell him to keep it to himself but usually they just shut up when they see you’re not messing around.

Quote from nina1981 on August 20, 2024, 6:57 ammine stays elevated for like 20 mins after heavy leg days. Tbh, usually just chug water and walk around the house til it drops. if its still high after an hour i check my electrolytes. been doing this for years so i know my body pretty well. dont overthink it unless something feels off otherwise its just burnout or not enough carbs.

Quote from wild1967 on September 29, 2024, 3:28 amhonestly 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. For real, 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 angela1987 on June 2, 2024, 12:33 pmNot weird at all. Lol, I miss making his coffee and folding his shirts way more than I miss the actual relationship. The drama was exhausting. The routine was peaceful. I still wake up reaching for the iron sometimes. It’s just quieter now. I’m learning to be okay with my own company instead of filling the space with someone else’s nonsense. It takes time but the calm is worth it.

Quote from JoyForest on June 17, 2024, 8:42 pmnah its not weird at all. i just broke up too and weirdly i miss cooking dinner and doing laundry more than seeing his face. being busy keeps me sane so now im just lost in the quiet. i spend my days running and lifting to get the stress out. it sucks but at least i have control over my routine now. its weird how much you take for granted until its gone.

Quote from stonepace on December 20, 2024, 4:44 amSame. I feel like I’m running on fumes mostly. I’ve started drinking way more water and forcing myself to put my phone away an hour before bed. It helps a bit but honestly I think it’s just burnout from work and life in general. I’m not even that old yet but I definitely feel it in my bones lol.

Quote from Roseyarn on October 30, 2024, 10:30 pmugh right. i used to try deep breathing but it just made me more anxious. now i just zone out with loud action movies or listen to true crime podcasts. keeps my brain busy so i dont overthink. also ice baths help when my muscles feel tight from stress. honestly just numbing the noise out works better than trying to calm down. its exhausting being on high alert all the time.

Quote from Bold1977 on October 7, 2024, 12:21 pmMy husband works construction and comes home dead tired. i used to feel rejected but realized he just needs rest. we cuddle sometimes but don't push for sex. if i really want it, i initiate gentle touch without expectations. if he says no, i respect it and we watch tv. communication helps more than pressure. don't take it personally, man just needs to recharge.
