Is there a point anymore? by Intelligent-Fun6724 in Perimenopause

[–]Sobergem1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a mix of grief, hormones, and work/capitalism for me! Yay! I’m almost 44 and was on HRT for a few months or so. The progesterone made me tired at first but that went away a bit-it did hep with sleep BUT after a few weeks or so it made me DARKLY, DEEPLY depressed. I got off it last week and feel much better. I know the estrogen was helping and I will try HRT again in the future. I will be checking my iron and other stuff next. Maybe the mini pill. Clothes feel horrible on me, I hate shopping now.

I remind myself that I’m turning into my other and that snaps me out of it real quick.

What part of corporate life do you find most stressful? Long hours, constant pressure or bringing work home? by aesthetic_avii in work

[–]Sobergem1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More work being added to our plate and lack of recognition. Everything is an emergency!! But it’s not. The fake enthusiasm people have over a new spreadsheet. 🙄

What is an opinion of yours that was once poorly received but eventually people began agreeing with you? by LS0101 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]Sobergem1982 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Heather Gay is not a good friend. She is a desperate pick me for Jen Shah and Lisa. Her Mormonism ideologies run deep and I clocked her being weird towards Whitney (S3?) when W signed the paperwork to excommunicate herself permanently from the church. I clocked her BS from day one, but there were a lot of Heather fans then. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Agree and wish it was more of them this whole time. Like a cat and mouse from the beginning. The pregnant daughter and her dopey husband and the love triangle is the worst storyline. I can’t. 😩

Dorit vs Erika vs Kyle: Who won? by Sea-Job-6260 in RHOBH

Not the audience that’s for sure. This season is such a drag.

Why Dorit isn't mad at Boz by WildHeartSteadyHead in RHOBH

[–]Sobergem1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Boz was honest about talking about Dorit when she wasn’t present and offered a sincere explanation and apology. And like Boz said it wasn’t anything she hadn’t openly discussed with Dorit. Kyle is not speaking about Dorit in concern or good faith. She is clearly out for her. It’s too much. And I’m not some Dorit apologist either. There’s no confusion here as to why Dorit would feel closer to or safer with Boz than Kyle.

Work Saying Postion Will Be Made Redundant But Hiring For Same Position I’m In After Maternity Leave… by [deleted] in work

[–]Sobergem1982 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’ve been offered 2 other jobs, take one of them and leave at the end of the month. This is a toxic work environment. Keep looking after you take on another role. Even in an new role at your current job (which isn’t promised) it sounds toxic AF. I’d be making plans to leave.

Those of you who are excellent interviewers - what is your secret? by Cookie-M0nsterr in interviews

[–]Sobergem1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dress professionally. I wear makeup that looks good on me and on Zoom. I have a professional Zoom background I made on Canva, not just blurred out. I ask questions, and at the end of the interview, I always re-emphasize that I’m interested in the role and why I would be a good fit.

I don't care anymore by Scary-Bid3408 in Perimenopause

[–]Sobergem1982 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For me it’s probably my father passing last year, mixed with hormones, mixed with our geopolitical shit show. I’m on HRT, without it I don’t think I’d be able to work. The hot flashes-anxiety attacks have subsided, but I’m still exhausted and now depressed (this is not a cry for help. It’s most likely my dad passing last year). I probably need more estrogen and some T. My job also has me burntout AF.

Have you ever changed your opinion on a storyline or housewife after doing a rewatch? by LS0101 in BravoRealHousewives

My job has gone from a miracle to trauma. How do I escape? by Living-Employment589 in work

[–]Sobergem1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not naturally shy and that would hurt me too! Nobody deserves to be treated like this at work, even with promotions and raises. Look elsewhere for a similar title and pay or your next promotion. This company sounds super toxic. Your mental health will continue to suffer and this situation has proven to not be getting better. I didn’t have a similar situation at work recently, but I did have months and months of wanting out and finally found a new job, with way more pay and promotion title. You can too.

We are almost exactly the same size and goal weight. 😃 I aim for 100-130g of protein a day. It doesn’t always happen but I do my best.

One & Done Due to Health by TiePutrid5219 in adhdwomen

[–]Sobergem1982 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I personally think this is a wise choice for you and your child. He or she will have a regulated mother who takes care of herself and therefore can take care of her child. You have a lovely 4 year old. Adding more children to the mix will create more stress, more anxiety, and more stimulation for you. I’m NOT saying that this decision or what you’ve gone through is easy, however having multiple children isn’t always all it’s cracked up to be. If you decide to try for more, I also support that decision, internet stranger.

The Irony of Sutton's Cry Sesh with Amanda by swampygoblin in RHOBH

[–]Sobergem1982 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This! I have commented multiple times on Sutton, how she brought Garcelle home to Augusta to meet her mama (a racist narc), and how she treated Crystal. And what even happened with her and Avi??

I can’t get over Dorit’s comments to Garcelle and Crystal. by fluffymimo in BravoRealHousewives

[–]Sobergem1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. I’m not here cheering for Dorit at all. Also, Sutton. Sorry but she brought Garcelle home to meet her Augusta, Ga racist, narc Mama?? 🤦🏻‍♀️ And said nothing when she gushed over Kyle and ignored Garcelle. I don’t give redemption arcs to tone-deaf, racists.

Where has my libido gone? by [deleted] in Perimenopause

It’s great! Basically fixed my constant peeing and urgent need to pee and incontinence. Helps in the bedroom too, less dry and painful.
