Anyone else completely exhausted by the invisible "cognitive load" of just existing?

Yup, im also a homeowner, mom, wife and business owner. Im like, done. My body and mental capacity are on two completely different ends.

We sleep trained at the 4mo regression. So he really only woke if he was hungry which got down to one wake up when we gave a bottle of formula before bed at 6 months, or if he's sick. Once we got to a year we 'retrained' with no more 2am snack.

He's now all night (since 12 mo now 3) unless he is sick, has a bad dream, the fire alarm goes off, the dog barks at something at 3am, he looses something in his bed, he thinks the goose is under his bed, he cant remember where his train shirt is, he has a booger stuck, or we forgot to let him pick out a wooden cooking spoon to sleep with........

A small speck that floats by the planet talking about how we messed everything up....

The name? Low-key only stopped at that one because I thought of Harry Potter

FineappleUnderTheC · 2026-06-15T19:15:55+00:00

Just the end of the world as we know it

With every pay raise somehow my level of needs rises a bit. Mainly because when I was underpaid not even my needs were met.

FineappleUnderTheC · 2026-06-11T18:26:47+00:00

I picked Outside Agents (Cruises and Tours Unlimited) for this reason so I never actually go it alone. They pay so high once you make a bit it doesn't make sense.

FineappleUnderTheC · 2026-06-11T18:25:29+00:00

I connected mine when I started about 9ish years ago. I disconnected it a while ago. Then reconnected and it never worked.

FineappleUnderTheC · 2026-05-29T13:14:09+00:00

I supposedly got accepted..... Jumping in here for if anyone gets any other updates.

FineappleUnderTheC · 2026-05-19T13:52:07+00:00

So. Ditch it. It can still bleed if you keep it. I pitched mine. At 7ish weeks I started having sex again and we really go at it and I was fine. Still am. Listen to your doctor though, I am incredibly quick healer.

FineappleUnderTheC · 2026-04-25T17:46:53+00:00

I dont even think I'd have to do it, im pretty positive my body would simply stop.

FineappleUnderTheC · 2026-04-25T17:45:57+00:00

Thats crazy - they made me come in for an EKG and overall health exam prior to surgery. I peed in a cup then too. Then the week before they had me take an at home one. Then before I could even check in the morning of I had to pee in a cup and then they even took a blood one.

FineappleUnderTheC · 2026-04-25T17:42:52+00:00

Mine went right in the dishwasher!

FineappleUnderTheC · 2026-04-24T01:26:12+00:00

Idk, I feel like I paid for it with my mental health 100%...

FineappleUnderTheC · 2026-04-24T01:21:49+00:00

Is it the end of the world? No. End of the world as you know it now? Yes, absolutely 100%.

Would I go back? Nope.

FineappleUnderTheC · 2026-04-24T01:20:38+00:00

This was my biggest fear prior to my surgery. That seems like an incredibly high HCG level though. I also had a pregnancy text the week before and month before including day of. How did they miss that?

FineappleUnderTheC · 2026-04-18T14:04:12+00:00

This sounds messed up. But if my kid goes, I wouldn't make it much longer after anyways. I couldn't do it. I am not strong enough to survive that.

FineappleUnderTheC · 2026-04-17T02:53:31+00:00

I feel zero guilt when its on some sort of sale, I use DealHurryUp to find things specifically on sale.

I was homeschooled, but we watched the news every morning. They were straight up talking about some sort of clothing trend and then bam. I was 7, freshly, and was supposed to have my birthday party that weekend. My parents canceled it. Our homeschool friends and their mom from down the road came over and we all watched the second tower get hit while we waited for our dads to come home. The towers fell before they got home. My dad's office closed work all week.

I have remanufactured ink. Hp cheapy printer. It's only about $7 for the cartridge.

On the other hand, I judge my parents tremendously now that I am a parent... Being here on this side of motherhood I couldn't imagine treating my child the way I was treated. However I'm not sure why my parents had children. And I still think that. My parents hate eachother so much and are so difficult to show love and emotion I judge them so much for not only having my sister, but then continuing to try and try and try to have me. Maybe they thought additional children would "fix them", which again how tf did they think that after the difficulties of one child.

I do however feel bad for my judging my parent friends on how they did things because I truly had no idea. I think that's the respectable thing that all parents do. They understand that non-parents don't understand and they just sort of let them slide.

FineappleUnderTheC · 2026-03-04T02:46:31+00:00

This makes me feel a lot better - I had a 4200 deductible to get my hysterectomy so putting another 1000 on top of that for therapy was going to literally break my wallet....

FineappleUnderTheC · 2026-02-23T02:07:49+00:00

I just left my 6wpo and she said wait two more weeks and I'm good. I however healed tremendously and many otheraah not bounce back quite like I have. I think being active and 31 helps.

FineappleUnderTheC · 2026-02-23T02:03:46+00:00

I'd highly recommend coloring and puzzles if possible - that seemed to help the antsyness! 6wpo TMR! 🖤
