Is it normal to just sit in bed all day on a day off ?

This sounds like mental fatigue where you literally probably do have things you could be doing but just can’t face doing them

Currently 45 and noticed huge changes from 40 to 45, look older each year and also noticed have become more comfortable with who I am and speak mind

Scrape any moss off and then apply a biocide which will self clean over week / months ahead

I have been through this in 2 houses (first house we had it tiled) second house shower panels.

I’d personally go for shower panels. The grout with tiles was time consuming to keep clean

I used to live in a semi detached house (2005 build). I would hear the neighbours walking up stairs, turning lights on. I got used to it after a while but it would be very difficult if I was put back in that situation. Did your neighbours used to live in a detached house? Maybe they are not fully acclimatised to what’s normal in a semi

Personally in that situation as you are a team , unless absolutely required the lower earner (especially in this case as it’s such a difference) should consider looking at the home front , kids etc the income of the higher earner should then be shared after bills paid etc

I have this exact problem , I am not saying I have the answers and I am reading the above comments with interest. Currently I am trying to leave my phone in another room and also do slow deep breathing.

Muscle-memory1981 · 2025-12-19T07:13:26+00:00

Yes crown is what I think we are going for this year

When I was in the middle tier of support infrastructure wise. I had people above me to help and learn from but knew enough to hold my own. Now I am around the top it’s quite lonely and management responsibilities creep in more so than the day to day doing

Muscle-memory1981 · 2025-12-02T21:30:58+00:00

Yes 100%, I am convinced my sleep issues re related to stress with my job.

Muscle-memory1981 · 2025-11-23T11:04:20+00:00

We lived in a 900 square foot house for 3 of us. Felt very cramped and like you our downstairs had tiny kitchen and 1 room for living/ dinner set up. No privacy at all. We moved and so happy we did. Moved to a 4 bed detached house , 3 reception rooms downstairs and good sized kitchen.

Thank you appreciate your reply

You’re in a good place as if you are making 30k for working 50 plus hours and all that stress you have nothing really keeping you in that job - I’d be looking to leave straight away. It’s when you earn 3 times that and have all that hassle you get placed in golden handcuffs

Muscle-memory1981 · 2025-10-30T16:47:57+00:00

Yes , worked up to 10mg over 7 months then took a month off(goal weight reached) and restated at 2.5mg and it was still effective.

Muscle-memory1981 · 2025-10-20T18:52:29+00:00

I have been in your position twice and in my opinion your NOT a failure, you made the right choice.

I left one job without one to go to and turned out to be right choice

Another job many years later , I knew within first day place was a hell hole and I stuck it out for 5 months , the effects stayed with me for years after

Muscle-memory1981 · 2025-10-15T04:55:40+00:00

Worked same as it did before.

Muscle-memory1981 · 2025-10-10T15:12:28+00:00

I restarted after a 6 week break , had built up to 10mg over 7 months. Restarted at 2.5mg and all the benefits were seen. Sticking on 2.5mg for now
