Yes I’ve thought of adderall too but it makes you so hyper which I’m sure would give you panic attacks .... at the moment I don’t even drink caffeine .
Well I think if you’re actually out of the house you’re doing a lot better than I am !
That’s a great compliment ! Take it ! Must have lifted you up somewhat always nice to get a compliment !
Well there was a time when we weren't out of the house. Hang in there, it does get a little better. And I feel the same as you do, I look around thinking everyone looks so normal and feeling fine, why am I the only one?
I do think you need to think about moving back home to have more of a support system.
Hi Suzanne, you mentioned feeling bad after getting home from the game but enjoying yourself while there. That’s exactly what I’ve been noticing for a long time. I do okay around other people but struggle as soon as I’m alone. I live alone, never married, no kids or pets. It seems that this is a time in life when we really need support. I never used to feel lonely on my own. 🌸
Hi Lori, it is really tough to be alone. I have been trying to reach out more lately. Definitely helps to chat here in the forum with you and the other kind ladies. Just got off an hour on the phone with my sister trying to explain what I’m going through and she offered some helpful advice. She’s dealing with being a divorced mom of two sons. So many things happening and changing at this stage of life. Her ex-husband moved her constantly to small towns due to his jobs and I know she struggled with feeling isolated. You are in a time of recovering and healing that may take a long time. Be kind to yourself and find ways to connect with people who can support you. Reaching out here in the forum is helpful. 🌸
I agree with Vicky about not staying at home all the time. Also, would it be feasible to work part-time? When my sister (now divorced) lived in a small town while married, she did some part-time retail work. Another option could be online work, possibly customer service, chat support, etc. Just something to think about.
I agree that moving home, closer to family, would be a huge help.
It can be done. I work full time because I’m my sole support. Some days definitely go way better than others. Even if full-time work isn’t feasible, doing something part-time could help. If the town is not working out, moving home could help. My sister spent 16 years married to an alcoholic who moved them from one small town to another. When she left him, she moved home with her kids and restarted her career. It hasn’t been easy, but she’s making it work at age 45. A new start at home or at least somewhere with family and friends who care about you could help you in your healing process post-divorce. 🌸
I just don’t have the energy right now I’m so ill with all this hormone stuff . I don’t think anybody understands ? I’m debilitated .
I can’t even go out let alone move . I’m tired from when I wake up .... let’s just say I NEVER wake up! So I’m stuck in the house most days just waiting for nighttime to come . I’ve got this really really bad .

I am still menstruating, but I had those symptoms for almost 2 years. Yes, the stiff neck-shoulders-insomnia is a killer. Lets chat on facebook. I live in PA.
2 years !! I can’t go 2 years with this fatigue !
Yes would love to chat !
Hi Anetta
So sorry you’re going through a hard time I am too . I’d rather climb Mount Everest naked than deal with this ! There is no shaking it off ? No matter how restrictive you are and disciplined nothing seems to help !
