ppl i get so tired of packing my medicine
Quote from Sam1986 on January 13, 2019, 12:06 pmi am so done with repacking my prescription bottles every six months. we moved again last week and i spent my entire sunday sorting through pill organizers while the kids slept. i had to make three trips to cvs because the pharma coordinator office was closed on tuesday. they charged me a two dollar fee per transfer and my blood pressure went up just looking at the receipts. i lost track of which meds i actually take versus what my husband needs. i found an expired bottle of ibuprofen from 2019 in the junk drawer. why is this so hard. i just want to pick up a script without feeling like i am running a logistics operation. does anyone have a system for keeping track of refills when you keep changing cvas or do you just suffer like me.

Quote from amberstone on March 13, 2019, 9:20 pmsame girl. i swear my treadmill is worse than my ex. i started walking backwards on it just to mess with my brain and its actually working. also watching trash tv while i do it so i dont have to think about the monotony. if you feel like your gonna puke just stop. dont push through it. my knees already hate me enough. also chicago winter makes me wanna never leave the house so this is my compromise.

Quote from Echotoken on December 13, 2019, 10:38 amI get it. My husband was pushing hard too. I stopped overthinking the performance part and just told him we need low pressure. We switched to just touching without expecting penetration. Took the edge off for both of us. Now we actually want to be closer. Don’t force it if your body says no. Communication works better than ghosting through it. Just be honest.

Quote from Mossexhibit on May 8, 2019, 8:42 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 Shellriver on December 12, 2019, 1:35 amTotally feel this. I work in IT so I spend all day glued to screens anyway. Gym is just another isolating activity for me. I go to my local place near the office, grab a squat rack, listen to a podcast while lifting, then leave. No eye contact, no small talk. It’s efficient but yeah, super lonely. I usually just text my hype girl before and after. We don’t even workout together, just vent about heavy sets.

Quote from Shellstruggle on May 15, 2019, 7:48 pmim literally the same. i had my third cup yesterday around 3pm because i refused to take a nap during my work break. now im staring at my phone at 11pm. im a runner so i tell myself caffeine helps my workouts but honestly its just bad habits. do u drink it after that time often or was this just today?

Quote from Warm2005 on October 1, 2019, 9:52 pmI don’t deal with that nonsense. If my husband speaks to me with disrespect, I shut it down right then. I tell him I’m not accepting that tone and I’m walking away until he can speak properly. You aren’t too sensitive, you just have standards. Don’t let him gaslight you into thinking his bad behavior is your problem. Walk away if he won’t change.

Quote from warmgarden2002 on October 18, 2020, 2:08 amHonestly I think it’s both. For real, My knees hurt all the time but my spirit feels heavy too. I just sit on the porch with my coffee and let God handle the worry. Y’all need to rest more. Not everything needs fixing today. Just breathe and take it one hour at a time. I’m trying to stop doing so much for everybody else.

Quote from GoldSilk on December 25, 2020, 3:56 pmOh honey it is real. I got diagnosed at 52 and my husband thought I was just getting old. Lord knows I ain't. I take my meds, stretch in the morning, and rest when my body screams. It’s a drag but you’re not crazy. Keep going sister.
