the heat is killing me and i cant sleep
Quote from fireerrand on October 17, 2019, 8:51 amit is 3 am and i am sitting in the kitchen because the bedroom feels like an oven. my husband woke me up gasping. i live in dubai now but this summer is worse than back home. the ac in our unit is broken and the repair guy says he will come on friday but that is three days away. i went to carrefour and bought those ice packs for 15 dirhams each but they only last an hour. my daughter is crying because she is too hot to rest. i tried putting wet towels on her forehead but she hates it. i am drinking too much water now and the toilet can stop. i feel so useless and angry. my skin is breaking out from the humidity. i just want to sleep without sweating through two sheets. does anyone have a trick that actually works when the ac is down?

Quote from Fernwatch on November 11, 2020, 8:24 ami been there. Omg, started getting really tired and holding water when i hit forty. went to the doc and got blood work done. turns out it was just perimenopause hitting hard. took a bit of adjusting but knowing it wasnt permanent helped. also cut down on salt cause that bloating was awful. hope you feel better soon.

Quote from Kathryn1983 on August 15, 2020, 9:52 pmit is 11 pm and the house is dead quiet. my husband fell asleep on the couch at 930 pm with the tv still on. i just did laundry for the fourth time this week because the kids spill juice everywhere. i went to target today for a $2 cereal box and spent $80 on stuff i do not need. now i am sitting here drinking rooibos tea but i cannot relax. the air feels heavy. why does my home feel so cold and empty when my whole family is literally in the other room? i tried lighting a candle from ulta but it did not help. i just feel so drained. is this normal or am i just crazy?

Quote from victoria1975 on July 11, 2020, 6:30 amimma be honest i gained like 5 pounds last month too. just muscle though. stop staring at the scale girl. its not fat. in my culture we always obsessed with weight but you look strong as hell. trust me my mom thinks i got fat but i know the truth. keep lifting and ignore the number. its just water weight anyway. drink more water.

Quote from Softpetal1981 on October 13, 2020, 3:25 amugh tell me about it. Lol, i cant even sit down right bc my quads are screaming. took me three days to walk down the stairs after my last session and even that was a struggle. i just layed in bed and stared at the ceiling while my legs shook. but hey at least we look good doing it, right? ugh. seriously though hope it goes away by tomorrow.

Quote from Brenda1994 on February 2, 2020, 8:30 amhonestly i dont even know what he means. Tbh, i just want to feel good. if he thinks asking for what i like is too much then he has bigger problems. i just say what i want clearly cause its not mind reading. if hes mad about that then ima send him to therapy not me. we are adults here. stop making it complicated.

Quote from Angela1979 on April 23, 2020, 4:50 amhonestly same. Omg, I deadlift heavy then my whole day is over. My mom would kill me if she saw me nap right after eating but idk. I just crash on the couch while the kids play nearby. Maybe protein shake helps a bit but mostly its just body being wrecked. Go sleep girl. We talk later yeah.

Quote from Irongrove on November 19, 2020, 3:14 amArre listen, coding means sitting like statue. That is why gas stuck. I also face same problem when I work on laptop for hours. First thing, drink hot water with lemon every morning. And eat more salad, no plain rice only. Walk for 10 mins every 2 hours. My husband also suffer from this. He started doing yoga stretch in evening. It helps very much. Try it.

Quote from Michelle1998 on December 28, 2020, 11:27 pmnah i would just tell her straight up. tell her its not our culture or tradition here. we don't do that kind of stuff in the house. its confusing for my kids too. just say no politely but firmly. dont let her push it. keep the space yours. if she keeps it up ask her to do it at her place or temple. boundary setting is key fam.

Quote from Brittany1975 on June 25, 2021, 9:13 pmsame here. mine said perimenopause but i feel like i have arthritis. hot flashes are crazy bad at night. i just drink cold water and take vitamin d. no help but at least dont get so angry with my husband. try wearing layers so you can take off when you get hot. just survive each day honestly.
