why do i always get sick right after starting to feel better
Quote from Kim1982 on January 18, 2019, 4:11 ami started feeling good on tuesday. my chest was clear. i even made it to walgreens without coughing so bad i had to stop. but yesterday at 6 pm i was shaking with chills again. my daughter asked for juice boxes and i could barely stand up. i feel like a total failure. i spent forty dollars on immune support gummies that did absolutely nothing. today i am back in bed feeling gross. why does it feel like win one day lose the next every single time. i just want to be well for a whole week. has anyone else dealt with this bouncing back sickness. what am i doing wrong.

Quote from Mudspring on December 14, 2019, 4:02 amI feel this. Last year I hit a wall too. I’m a teacher so I spend all day pouring into others and come home with nothing left. I realized it wasnt laziness, it was just burnout. Now I force myself to rest without guilt. Honestly just taking a nap or doing absolutely nothing for an hour changed everything. Youre not lazy, youre just drained. Be kind to yourself.

Quote from Willowscale on August 8, 2020, 1:34 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 Janice1976 on September 30, 2020, 11:55 pmHe’s projecting. When my ex did that, i stopped trying to read his mind. I just kept doing my thing. If he wants to talk, great. If not, i’m not gonna sit here anxious while he ignores me. You teach kids all day, you have enough emotional labor to do. Don’t give your energy away to someone who isn’t showing up. Just focus on your own routine and see if he steps up.

Quote from Capechime on January 15, 2020, 5:33 pmhonestly just changed his routine completely. told him if he wants to keep seeing me he needs to shower right after the gym not wait till he gets home. also switch to a stronger deodorant and change underwear twice a day if sweating. i dont care how tired he is nobody wants to smell that. simple fix really.

Quote from Melissa1967 on September 24, 2021, 2:30 amyeah totally. i stop at 15 mins bc i feel like death after that. used to run easy then figured out my heart is just different now post, divorce and stress. don't push it too hard. if you’re exhausted that fast maybe your form is off or you’re going too fast for your current level. i just walk fast now and it’s enough.

Quote from Calmocean2002 on November 4, 2021, 6:51 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 Kayla1988 on November 24, 2021, 3:34 pmi feel that. my husband used to think once a week was totally fine. honestly？ yeah。 we just stopped scheduling it. now its whenever we actually want to。 turns out spontaneity matters more than a rigid calendar。 if he isnt asking for more maybe he just isnt turned on by the routine。
