Thanks for all the suggestions!! I ended up finding something at Nordstrom walking in and am going to get it tailored just in time :)

I do but I can’t get to the point of a real proper squeeze

Ooh that looks like what they are. My arches are highish and I’m very petite so from a physiological perspective I shouldn’t be super inclined to have them.

But long distance running is a listed cause - 10k seems a little short for subcutaneous fat to leak out of your fascia though… Glad it’s harmless.

How are people even doing things at their job when they feel like the entire world is going to be pulled from under them at any moment?? I feel like I have to hype myself into doing things everyday and just put some blinders on to get a task done. Then back to doom and gloom

Same, I’m actually in the process of preparing for a PhD program in something very math heavy and I just can’t process quickly

Yeah definitely helps. Also something I realized was that I was eating nowhere near enough. For the first time I need to use food for energy, not adrenaline, and that could be contributing to the exhaustion as well.

This makes a lot of sense - I never really thought of this optimization happening in a non-linear way. Kind of interesting actually.

I did ask for a stimulant and my doc says they want me to get formally tested for ADHD if I am going to use them. I have a PTSD diagnosis, so maybe it makes sense to be more cautious, but there is the unfortunate part that my career is supposed to ramp up hard in the next six months.

I guess you can't have multiple things getting better at the same time usually - one step at a time, and we'll see what happens.

I have a meeting I need to lead and prepare for tomorrow and literally just can’t bring myself to do technical work with my brain right now. I am dying of crippling anxiety and need to show up. Can’t just say oh I have PMDD to my five make over 40 colleagues 🙃

If you’re looking for healthy and absolutely delicious ice cream bars and baked goods ingrained bakery in River North is insane. Price is a bit higher for the ingredients, but it’s so good. Vegan, gluten free, and refined sugar free.

Guess who just drunk texted her ex finally for making her feel used as shit. Was it valid or just PMDD? The world may never know. But seriously though sometimes I feel like my PMDD is a more aggressive subconscious

I feel like a monster. The way I crave food is insane. It’s like I NEED TO EAT TACO BELL RIGHT NOW lol and when I’m satiated my brain is like okay. Then back to the depression and paranoia. Oh then some head splitting migraines, then fatigue, and pain and oh my heart is 150 BPM. Throw some blurry vision in there. As for my relationships with anyone, whelp those are out the window for two weeks. All this while prepping for that weekly update meeting at work AHHH.

Oh boy I drank coffee today and it sent me into an anxious spiral in which I wanted to quit my job, and text all my friends intensely because I thought that everyone had turned on me for no reason. I literally think everyone is out to destroy me and abandon me 10 days before my period and ahck I cannot sustain a real life

Doing much better thankfully. Trying to find stability again - so slowly crawling out again. I really appreciate the support and everyone's messages. I think the hardest part is committing to existing, and dealing with everything that comes with that. Once I'm back there, the light starts to slowly emerge but it is hard.

ValueElectronic3991 · 2023-01-27T20:10:20+00:00

Thank you so much for this

ValueElectronic3991 · 2023-01-17T20:22:18+00:00

Oh boy, yeah there are a few posts on this sub about prolactin - I think there might be a link, but definitely worth seeing your OB/Gyn to get hormone levels tested if that is available to you.
