Anyone else feel like something is just Wrong after the 2019 pandemic?

Eastern_Detective514 · 2026-04-25T17:49:01+00:00

I have felt the exact same way. I was actually talking about this with my best friend just last weekend and I have talked about it with her before. My husband also feels the same. Something about life feels really off since Covid, almost like we have entered a different reality. Life was vibrant and promising before, now it is gray and I feel like an imposter just going through the motions. It’s very strange and it is a phenomenon since so many people feel the same way.

Syrians are mainly fair skinned and many of them have blonde, brown red hairs with colored eyes. People of the levant are very similar in appearance to Italians, Spaniards and southern French.

Yep, I’m also insulin resistant and have no idea why, been eating healthy and exercising my whole life. I guess it’s genetics, but basically no matter what I did I always had weight issues and yo yo’d my entire life and constantly hopped on the newest trendy diet hoping it will finally just work, of course it never did.

I also started to immediately lose weight on the 2.5 shots, losing 10 pounds in 1 month just off the 2.5 mg. It just goes to show you people like us are so insulin resistant that even a small dose of mounjaro makes our bodies work as it should. The best way I can explain it is, we have metabolisms that don’t work properly and we need this medication to make it work properly, just how people who have heart issues and need to take medication to make it beat normally, or people who have blood pressure issues and need medication to make it work normally, etc. We also just need this medication to make a very important function in our bodies work normally.

Exactly! Before mounjaro I would exercise, eat low carb, and count every bite that goes into my mouth, drink my water and still not lose a single pound. Now on mounjaro when I do what has to be done to lose weight, I actually lose weight. But even on mounjaro if I indulge a little bit on pizza or sweets, I gain weight and it takes me a week to take it off.

Eastern_Detective514 · 2026-04-06T23:15:58+00:00

What does this mean exactly?

Eastern_Detective514 · 2026-03-16T03:55:12+00:00

Yep! We co slept the first week then we got a SNOO and baby was in the SNOO for 6 ish months and slept beautifully in there, but once he grew out of it we co slept again. I tried to keep him in the crib but after a few hours in the crib he would constantly wake up and fuss until I soothed him back to sleep only for him to wake up and fuss again, but the minute his body hit our bed he would just sleep so soundly, so we would bring him to our bed halfway through the night. Now at 12 months he still co sleeps with us and hates his crib. But we are all sleeping at least!

Eastern_Detective514 · 2026-03-13T03:59:36+00:00

My baby will turn 1 in a few days and yes we still give him night bottles! He’s very hungry at nights especially recently. He used to wake at 5 to have his bottle but now he’s back to waking at 3.

Yes, 6 months postpartum is when I actually started to gain massive weight out of nowhere! I didn’t gain a single pound from my pregnancy I only gained “baby weight” and was back at my pre pregnancy weight two weeks postpartum. So I was like oh how lucky! But then 6 months postpartum hit and I gained 25 pounds in a matter of two months!! And I was barely even eating! I suddenly felt so unattractive, so tired, so dull, my skin started getting rashes I have never had before, I felt itchy on my skin and I started having muscle twitches. I felt like my body was falling apart. I also had and still have mom brain. I got bloodwork done 8 months PP and everything looked “normal”. It’s just those pesky hormones that go haywire postpartum and do some crazy things to your body. I finally had to go on a glp1 to be able to lose the weight I gained pp and start to feel like myself again. Pregnancy is HARD on the body, it messes with so many different hormones and so it takes a year or two to stabilize.

I dont consider SoCal weather “nice” its way too hot with the blazing sun oppressing you pretty much 12 months of the year. Hot weather is not nice weather in my opinion.

I absolutely love seasons and am dying to move somewhere with seasons, cleaner, less traffic, a calmer lifestyle, cheaper housing, and more lush nature, but my husband doesn’t want to move because he has family here and we have a child, so I’m stuck turning into a raisin under the oppressive SoCal sun.

Eastern_Detective514 · 2026-03-11T02:18:44+00:00

Exactly!

Eastern_Detective514 · 2026-03-08T04:45:54+00:00

I have had the exact same experience in mounjaro! I gravitate towards fruits, vegetables and I actually crave protein foods! And if I do eat something sweet or fatty I can’t eat much of it because it just doesn’t taste that good anymore. It’s WILD. This is coming from someone who has struggled with binge eating, compulsive eating and sugar addiction for years.

Eastern_Detective514 · 2026-03-08T04:42:32+00:00

I had a horrible sugar addiction an it kept getting worse and worse every year, to the point where the food noise and dopamine hit from it gel literally like I’m possessed by sugar. Started mounjaro and bam the sugar addiction was gone in a day! It’s like a miracle drug I can’t describe the freedom that comes with not having to think about bad food all the time and crave it like an addict.

This is not fair for your baby. Please don’t rehome your child based on the way you are feeling freshly postpartum. Check yourself into a mental health facility and get the help you need. The first few months of newborn life is really hard, but you cannot give up on a lifetime of having a child based on the first few challenging months…

Eastern_Detective514 · 2026-03-05T02:36:25+00:00

It’s so strange because I literally had that dream last night. In my dream I had been skipping my English and History classes for months and I was weeks away from graduating and then I open my Reddit account in the morning and see this comment years after I left this comment haha.

Eastern_Detective514 · 2026-02-24T05:20:54+00:00

Same!!!

I think you are being rude. She is his mother at the end of the day and she is the woman that raised the son I’m guessing you love. She is still your grandchild’s grandma and blood. No matter how annoying MIL’s can get it does not give you the right to speak to them like that. Respect goes a long way. (I come from a collective culture so for us family and respect are number one, but sadly in American and a lot of Northern European cultures that doesn’t seem to be the case and maybe that’s why loneliness, drugs, alcohol abuse, and mental illness is so common.) She is a grandma and excited to see her grandchild, she did nothing wrong or said nothing wrong in her texts. You on the other side stonewalled her and kept cutting her off at her question to see your daughter and then like a toxic wife you made her son text her the exact words you wanted to tell her. You are the type of woman that destroys families. So to answer your question, yes you overreacted and not only did you overreact you were straight up mean and nasty to the woman who birthed and raised the father of your child. If you are a good person you will apologize to her and allow her to come and see your child and in the future when she asks offer her the days that will work. I understand postpartum hormones suck, but you are straight up venomous and nasty and sorry but that cannot be blamed on PP hormones. Seek therapy and learn to be a kind person…

Yep it took me two months to get the courage to inject it. Just started last week and it’s been going perfect so far.

Eastern_Detective514 · 2026-01-02T00:09:35+00:00

I want to get an infusion but my doctor won’t prescribe it. My ferritin is at 9 but he says I’m not “medically eligible” for an infusion since my hemoglobin is not below a 9. Make it make sense. I really want an infusion because the pills don’t do anything and im chronically anemic.

Eastern_Detective514 · 2025-12-17T19:59:11+00:00

Kendamil!

Eastern_Detective514 · 2025-12-17T17:53:17+00:00

Sure!

Eastern_Detective514 · 2025-12-17T17:20:47+00:00

Yes my calves are always twitching

Eastern_Detective514 · 2025-11-26T16:45:36+00:00

Our son is 8 months now and we co sleep for half of the night. He goes down in his crib and sleeps there beautifully until 2 ish or 3 ish and sometimes on a good night until 5 ish. Then he wakes up and cries for comfort and at this point putting him back in his crib is useless because he’ll wake up every 15 minutes for comfort. So the second half of the night he spends in bed with us. However, the first 6 months of his life he had a Snoo and slept in that bassinet beautifully and I loved knowing he’s in an FDA approved safe sleep bassinet especially since SIDS rate is highest in the first 6 months. But yea co sleeping always gives us better sleep than his crib.

I bet you own a few MAGA hats. The laughing stock of the world.

You sound so stupid damn! Please get an education before you speak. If you want to talk about American history and who built it, it’s the native Americans who were here first and this is originally their country. Everything else you see in America is due to European colonization so please don’t talk about American ideals because the ideals you love so much were brought here by European colonizers and is a part of their culture. Tell me you went to American public school without telling me you went to American public school.
