my energy is gone at 2pm every day whats wrong with me??
Quote from Rebecca1994 on April 30, 2019, 2:17 pmI wake up at 5am to get the kids ready for school and leave the house by 7. I work a job that requires actual focus. But every single day right around 2pm my brain just shuts off. It is not a little tired. It is like someone pulled the plug. I eat a turkey sandwich from Whole Foods at noon which costs me twelve dollars and I drink two large waters. Still crash hard. I have to peek through my eyelids during afternoon meetings. My husband says I just need more sleep but I am sleeping eight hours. Is this normal for women my age or do I have a thyroid issue? Should I go to the doctor or just buy more coffee?

Quote from midnightmoon1965 on December 18, 2019, 4:01 pmI just bought a good foam roller and use it every night while watching tv. Also switched to walking on the treadmill instead of the sidewalk. The incline helps a lot with my joints. My knees still hurt but its better than before. Taking ibuprofen only when it really hurts.

Quote from FreeGarden on May 30, 2020, 1:36 amLord have mercy. We have been there too many times to count. I usually just call my mom at 5am if the fever spikes and she comes over. If she cant make it i call in sick. Boss knows better than to make me choose. Hey we all raise these little ones somehow. Praying it breaks by morning. Yall hang in there.

Quote from free1996 on November 15, 2020, 1:47 pmHonestly same. For real, I stopped trying to force the whole sanctuary vibe and just do five mins of stretching while my niece naps nearby. No chanting, no candles, just breathing. If I miss a day, I don't guilt trip myself. Sometimes spirituality is just showing up tired and dealing with it. Keep it simple sis, your soul gets it.

Quote from megan1973 on August 14, 2020, 8:56 pmHonestly I just stop trying to rush everything. I used to think moving fast meant getting more done but it just meant I was tired and mad. Now I walk slower, take longer lunches, and dont answer emails right away. My cholesterol is better and my hair is healthier. Slow down sis, nobody is counting your steps except the people trying to sell you shoes.

Quote from weberrand on October 19, 2020, 12:26 pmI get this too yall. Even when i sleep like 9 hours. My husband says i yawn so loud it wakes him up. I just drink a big glass of cold water and stretch my arms out high. Sometimes i take a quick 10 minute nap in the afternoon too. No big fix just live with it. Hope you feel better soon dear.

Quote from Cheryl1990 on August 23, 2020, 10:06 pmi drink a massive cup of coffee with breakfast and set a timer for my lunch break. if i skip lunch or eat too heavy i crash hard. i also step outside for 5 mins of fresh air right after eating. helps reset my brain. my kids run me ragged in the morning so this little pause actually matters. dont push through hunger or you will regret it later.

Quote from Heather2001 on August 2, 2020, 2:01 amsame here i workout 4x a week but still crash by 7pm. realized it was just poor sleep hygiene and too much screen time before bed. started doing 15 min yoga after dinner and putting phone away earlier. helps a bit but honestly im just tired from coding all day. maybe im just burnt out.

Quote from kim1986 on July 10, 2020, 9:03 pmomg 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.
