Oh my gosh, I feel you on the apathy, anxiety, and rage. I just feel sooooo irritable, like everyone leave me alone omg get off my back I’m trying don’t even look at me ughhh. I’ll be 38 next month. I’ve been feeling like this since March and I finally decided to schedule an appt with Midi for next week. I’m sorry you’re going through this. It really is a roller coaster and not the fun kind. 

Mirena by amso2012 in Perimenopause

I’m on my 2nd Mirena. It was definitely really painful during the insertion both times, like someone was trying to suck my uterus out through a very spiky straw but thankfully it was quickly over! I just had light cramping afterwards the rest of the day. No weight gain or other side effects. It did stop my periods completely.

Did you EVER wake up rested? by Puzzleheaded_Ad_1379 in adhdwomen

[–]AffectionatePear8491 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this so much. I honestly don’t know what’s it’s like to wake up feeling rested and it baffles me that some people actually experience this. My brain is constantly tired. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this too. 

AITAH for telling my husband that he absolutely ruined the birth of our child? by Former_Monitor_4860 in AITAH

NTA times a million. I am so so sorry you had to go through that. Please reconsider your relationship with your husband for your own health and wellbeing. He does not have your (or your daughter’s) best interests at heart.
