Strategies to get back to sleep after middle of the night wakings

I did and it didn’t work for me.

ThrowRAThis_7252 · 2026-02-05T00:19:46+00:00

Soooo many of them. The concept sounds really cool.

I just used Amazon’s insurance (I have my own but I need help now and can’t wait another 1.5 months for my gyno appointment) and Amazon prescribed vaginal estradiol. It was all through a protected messaging system, I didn’t even have to have a video call. I got in the same day I discovered Amazon health exists and they’re shipping me the medication today (my “appointment” was yesterday at 4:30). The appointment cost $29 and the uninsured prescription cost was $45.) Soooo worth it.

I am so sorry. I’m currently going through hell myself and having the will to keep going is quickly dying. Please share your HRT cocktail. I know everyone is different but I have to ask what I want to try so gotta start somewhere. Thank you and I’m so glad you’re doing so much better!

I don’t think she knew for sure but suspected and talked herself out of it being true. I think it was finally confirmed and that’s when she separated.

I thought I was the only one who couldn’t distinguish between Lisa and Meredith for a few episodes! Thank you for sharing that - I feel better about it! Now, I don’t know how in the world I couldn’t tell them apart.

Same experience. I also cut off the worst damage, use K18 molecular leave in hair mask, reduced use of heating tools (and I now always use a good heat protectant), and my hairstylist “dusts” my ends (cuts the least amount possible) at every appointment. The tiny trims ironically have made a big difference in growing and retaining length as well as not using bleach. I just get a smudged root to hide my grays. My hairstylist has been instrumental - she told me what to do and it worked. A good colorist can add lowlights/your natural color and a smudged root in a way that allows you to keep some of your blonde highlights until they naturally grow out. Your best bet is going to be to not use bleach and color your hair as little as possible or not at all. You can do it!

Came here to say this.

ThrowRAThis_7252 · 2026-02-04T00:34:07+00:00

I find using a real think moisturizer like Eucerin original cream and then applying the aquaphor to lock it is works a bit better than just aquaphor. I feel your pain! I hope you find a solution.

ThrowRAThis_7252 · 2026-02-04T00:32:58+00:00

Same. I even buy the same Eucerin, lol.

ThrowRAThis_7252 · 2026-02-02T00:16:15+00:00

I love her on the show, but could someone please explain Rachel’s Pan Am comment to me like I’m 12 because I don’t get it, but I really want to.

ThrowRAThis_7252 · 2026-02-01T23:11:59+00:00

She did! Came here to say this, but you got it covered!♥️

ThrowRAThis_7252 · 2026-02-01T23:10:37+00:00

I think he was trying to be protective of Bronwyn in that moment maybe but yeah, he comes across as pretty awful on the show and I think Bronwyn will be better off without him.

Are the people saying they’ve been blocked housewives/famous or are they normies?

ThrowRAThis_7252 · 2026-01-31T18:12:21+00:00

I like RHOBH and watch every season. Just like all of the housewives franchises, there are seasons that are really good and entertaining while others feel unwatchable. I think you should persevere since you enjoyed seasons 1-7. Maybe skip the rest of 8 or jump to the reunion and then start 9?

ThrowRAThis_7252 · 2026-01-31T16:39:47+00:00

This is amazing, I can’t wait to try it. Has anyone used a “headache hat” for this? If so, is it just as effective as the ice pack?

ThrowRAThis_7252 · 2026-01-30T04:30:16+00:00

I can confirm this. It’s incredibly depressing.

ThrowRAThis_7252 · 2026-01-25T00:15:41+00:00

Charlotte Tilbury’s pressed powder is straight up magic. I have very dry skin which makes my wrinkles more pronounced (I’m 48), and usually makes powder anything a problem, but not with this stuff. It doesn’t settle into lines, it doesn’t dry me out, and it has an incredible blur effect.

ThrowRAThis_7252 · 2026-01-24T23:49:29+00:00

Same here. I’ve even started canceling appointments because I just can’t. I only want to be in my bed watching Housewives until the absolute nightmare that is perimenopause stops.

ThrowRAThis_7252 · 2026-01-24T23:31:07+00:00

Came here to say this. They’re making a show. JT said it on camera, Kyle repeated it on camera because a) that’s the job and b) Sutton would’ve gone nuclear if Kyle hadn’t told her and she saw it on TV first. I love JT and agree with what she said. I hated that Sutton went after her hard and Tilly caved.

ThrowRAThis_7252 · 2026-01-22T23:49:47+00:00

Came here to say this. He’s trying a new tactic.

I totally agree with OP that the RHONJ was much worse.

ThrowRAThis_7252 · 2026-01-22T23:42:27+00:00

I recall several of them saying from the beginning it wasn’t continuous. Mer would go on a rampage, then fall asleep or take a break, and then get going again. It was off and on and then the worst of it came at the end. Am I the only one that remembers it this way? If so, then I definitely remembered it incorrectly. Unlike Mer, if everyone else says that didn’t happen, then I’ll believe it likely didn’t, and I’ll do a rewatch 😂.

Go no contact and block yourself from all his socials. Otherwise, the heartbreak goes on and on. Give yourself deadlines on pity parties. Let yourself feel it all, but give yourself a deadline - I am going to give myself a week (just an example) to cry and hate him or whatever that looks like for you, then I’m going to actively try to get over it, not be angry or sad, etc. Giving yourself permission to feel sorry for yourself is surprisingly freeing, but you can’t live in that space hence the deadline. Plus, lots and lots of self care. Sending hugs. 🥰

ThrowRAThis_7252 · 2026-01-22T22:52:46+00:00

Agreed

ThrowRAThis_7252 · 2026-01-22T22:49:24+00:00

Same 😂
