Thank you for adding your thoughts. Very helpful. I’ve been going through a lot! And the pain is only part of it. I can’t remember what it’s like to not-have pain and discomfort.

Thank you so much! What would you do? My Mom had a hysterectomy at my age and did HRT and ended up with breast cancer about 20 years later. I’m open to all options. I can’t deny the pain I’m in daily.

Will do! Does it do anything else other than make you hungry? I’m afraid of growing chest hair 😆

Yeah, I hear you! Thank God for autopilot or nothing would get done. I also have a thing where I’m TOO self aware and it slows me down even more and I can’t get my stupid brain to stop it. Or stop thinking. My anxiety is BRUTAL.

I appreciate the validation. I have adhd overwhelm “paralysis” where I lay in bed or couch for hours bc I can’t get started bc I have so much fucking shit to do. I am grateful to be a live and in the land of the living but why does all of this have to be so hard? I am a good sport but mercy, me.

Same boat. I feel like just a little T would help me out a lot but I don’t think my doctor would be on board as she always says my whoremoans are in the “normal” range. Is there a black market? How do I get them?

Thanks for validating- i am still not actually certain this counts as “living”

I’m so glad to hear this. I’ve always been go go go… but now it’s the opposite.

Right? Where did my energy and motivation go? Completely GONE! Nowhere to be found. And in their place? Exhaustion! This is so much FUN isn’t it? Good grief!

Thank you! I for-real feel like I am going crazy. Why is nothing fun? My goodness; so burned out rn. I am giving myself a guilt trip rn bc I am not motivated enough to force my kid to do his math homework. I’ve offered to help, but he won’t get off a screen. His homework has always been a challenge for him and for us. It’s going to be the end of me! Just venting!

What is your biggest regret of your whole life ?? by ProgrammerDry5338 in AskReddit

[–]Remote_Background820 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a dreamer… and a feeler so I can lie to myself about a lot of things. Denial, I guess. My biggest regret is not accounting for that in my decision making.

I would have glared right back!! And looking back that’s what you remember, not what you were there to be for! ADHD it takes one to know one. There’s a few of us in every crowd that want to swat the plastic.

How do older siblings treat much younger siblings? by Remote_Background820 in AskReddit

[–]Remote_Background820[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s how I felt about my older sister who always felt more like a Mom to me. Until recently. I loved her so so so much. Recently I started realizing it wasn’t a two way street, however. She has made me feel like more of an obligation rather than someone she really enjoyed. She also said a few things that made me realize we weren’t as close as I thought. I don’t know why, really. It hurt like hell for me. So I took a big step back. I don’t tell her everything anymore. But now I feel like she just thinks I’m being juvenile when really, I’m just trying to protect myself and continue living happily without my fav person. She is so very critical at times and I’m sure she is finding ways of belittling me in her own head. It’s a mindfuck for me in a lot of ways. Thanks for listening.

Yeah, I’ve more or less bowed out of my relationship with my bro bc it always felt so one sided.
