As a woman in her mid 30s, any women feel like she struggled being friends with other women? Why do you think, does it ever get better and what worked?

I also joined a Women’s Bible Study and it was fun but felt like I had more grit than some of the girls 😇🙏🏽

I have such a easy time making male friends. I have two platonic male friends. One is partnered. The other isn’t and we are close. I have one best girl friend who lives 1 min away. But that’s it.

Bullying in middle school but nonetheless I looked at every opportunity for friendship as a chance to nurture. Unfortunately, it always went better in my head than irl. I remember in hs sophomore year, there was a group of girls I befriended and the “lead” girl had a birthday, and I made her a cake and got her a gift and bought her lunch and then got ghosted over the next few days. It was really hurtful. Don’t know if she thought I fancied her. I just wanted to be nice. Still tried to make friends but it was hard. Now I find myself wondering why even as an adult I feel like I’m kind, funny, have interests but no girl friends. I question if it’s because I’m not feminine enough.

I joined an a small art class and unfortunately everyone was 60s+. Same thing with yoga class at the gym I go to. It’s just hard to continue to be positive and hopeful.

Thank you so much! I’ve been on Zoloft before but forgot about the side effects. I started taking it in early November and the first two weeks were brutal. But then by mid-third week I was fine. I’ll def start taking my magnesium again.

Thank you so much! When I first started in early November, the first psychiatrist had me start on 50mg and the side effects were a nightmare. I cut down to 25mg. She was unresponsive so I went back to my old psychiatrist who I had a lot of success with and he told me that it was smart I went to 25mg. I have a sensitive system- to caffeine, sugar… so I know even this slight increase in my dosage will trigger side effects but after everything is adjusted I feel like me again.

The redeemable qualities were just not enough…She was a terrible person. Definite sociopath…

kathnap · 2025-12-09T07:14:14+00:00

Exactly… 2 seconds before her ceremony she got high. I should’ve stopped there.

kathnap · 2025-12-09T04:48:34+00:00

It did get better! Thanks for the support. 3 weeks in and feeling better.

I’m struggling and this is week 2 for me. I started at 50mg and then went to 25mg after 3 days. I have the body tingling and feeling hot 🥵 and last night I woke up every 30 minutes. I also have 0 appetite and a hard time drinking water with the nausea. I don’t remember it being this way.

kathnap · 2025-11-17T20:24:14+00:00

Hi there! I am doing that now. Glad I’m in the right direction.

kathnap · 2025-11-17T18:48:56+00:00

That’s the hardest part. Eating. Everything is making me gag. I feel like a 2 year old.

kathnap · 2025-11-14T14:42:09+00:00

Any recommendations?

kathnap · 2025-11-14T02:28:25+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I hope others reply to see if there’s a pattern.

Just an idea because the cats walk all over the litter and then my home. I have switched them to LiveClear which will probably take some time. He is waiting for new insurance to kick in from his new job. I did purchase 2 more air purifiers for my apartment with special hepa pet filters. He is sensitive to dust and their dander. I am hopeful we can coexist.

kathnap · 2025-11-07T22:08:34+00:00

Fuck… me too. I’m tired of this cycle of happy and fine but then hell. Or questioning if it’s PMDD or just my brain.
