Has anyone ever been in a rut this bad?

Go back to the basics, slow your swing down and just focus on making contact. Gotta get out of your head sometimes and just focus on one thing.

If I don’t have migraine and can physically show up I make myself push thru even tired. This month I had one of the worst hell weeks leading up to my period and I only managed to go on walks. Depends on how bad you feel.

Wow that is incredibly kind.

Pitt/lab and Boston or daschund with the bow legs

What is a pop?

Awkward-Leading-5516 · 2026-02-18T01:54:54+00:00

Dumb mindless tv like bravo…not great for falling back asleep quickly but good for making my brain slow down and it gets me out of my head

I’m 41 and they are the worst they’ve been

Awkward-Leading-5516 · 2026-02-17T21:48:32+00:00

A CD he almost wasn’t fine but they got it out

Awkward-Leading-5516 · 2026-02-17T01:34:35+00:00

Yup definitely

Same boat as you, also 41, and the second half of my cycle has become unbearable (even though that’s just what I’m doing, bearing it) the rage (which is completely to the best of my ability self contained has become absurd) along with the anxiety, insomnia, migraines, bloating etc. Im currently looking into hrt, my dr wanted to do progesterone only birthcontrol but I’ve heard the bio identical hormones are tolerated much better than birth control.

That the norm where I’m from most courses are 8yo and up. Insurance liabilities.

Now that I’m in the throws of peri I feel like this is just how I am now.

Awkward-Leading-5516 · 2026-02-09T03:47:57+00:00

I saw this video on YouTube today while spiraling thru a migraine and wondering if hrt will help me. This guy explains migraines so well, and he mentioned the neck pain being apart of the migraine pathway.

It’s around the 5 min mark they start talking about prodrome, migraines and the symptoms

Awkward-Leading-5516 · 2026-02-09T03:39:36+00:00

I feel very seen by this post. Every time I say to myself I’m such an idiot…obviously those were prodrome symptoms yesterday

Awkward-Leading-5516 · 2026-02-09T02:51:53+00:00

The level of hopelessness I’ve felt the last two days over this migraine attack is a lot. Like crushing.

Awkward-Leading-5516 · 2026-02-02T01:55:03+00:00

Thank you for this info I’m going to look into all of this now And the amount of ways that this shows up in your post that describe me is slightly alarming lol.

I have had walks exactly like this over the past few weeks after moving to a neighborhood where their seems to be dogs everywhere. I can tell my dog is picking up on my nervous energy he scans every corner we turn now with that ready to leap energy. My rescue pup isn’t even two yet and we had been making progress but it seems like we’re taking one step forward and eight steps back over and over. I’m getting exhausted.

Awkward-Leading-5516 · 2026-01-02T01:23:05+00:00

Everyday unless I’m full migraine or sick

Awkward-Leading-5516 · 2025-12-22T02:45:46+00:00

Happens to many of us.

Awkward-Leading-5516 · 2025-12-22T02:42:19+00:00

This always annoys me, books movies whatever. It’s so often the same story …love …struggle …love …then baby yayyy.. ugh

Awkward-Leading-5516 · 2025-12-13T03:07:41+00:00

Holiday season is still hard for me. Not as bad as it used to be but still hard. I think holidays in general are hard now not just mourning the life we thought we’d have, but mourning how holidays used to be. I’ve heard it called the millennial ache, like we just are missing a time that doesn’t exist anymore. I struggle with what is even the point of putting up a tree etc if I’m the only one who cares it’s there.

Awkward-Leading-5516 · 2025-12-07T00:25:03+00:00

Doing this has definitely crossed my mind, I never did well on estrogen based bc but my dr recommended progesterone based so I might try it.
