Not feelin' it.
I managed to finish a draft last night, and I'm feeling less than with
it this morning, kinda wrung out and out of it. Have at it: tell the
world what's gotten on your tits this past week.
Hormones can fuck off. I mean, seriously, PMS AND PERI-MENOPAUSE SIMULTANEOUSLY? WHAT THE FUCK? My face is in puberty AND menopause, I have a zit with a gray hair next to it. On a daily basis, I have to talk myself out of a homicidal rage, usually triggered by some small stupid thing. I have no energy, no focus, can't sleep, and there are times when my skin feels like it wants to crawl off my body and run screaming into the night. I'm having hot flashes that had me out on the deck one night in 2 degree weather. Plus, in two days, I'll have cramps that would bring down an elephant and bleed profusely for days. So you know what? FUCK HORMONES.
Sounds like some of my issues (cramps and feeling like I'm bleeding to death). When the cramps hit, start drinking. When the rest hits, lots of meat, and lots of Frosted Mini-Wheats help with the weak, exhausted, breathless feelings.
As for the lack of energy, have you had your thyroid tested lately? Sometimes, the onset of menopause can knock it out of whack--causing the no energy, no focus, and sleeping problems.
I'm at the end of my cycle, and I agree it can fuck off.
Medical issues surrounding the birth of the cute chick knocked out my thyroid. I've been on Levoxyl for years. What I'm being poked and probed for this time is progesterone deficiency. But I love Frosted Mini-Wheats, so there is a silver lining. :-)
Yes to all of the above (and no, my thyroid tests are never conclusive enough in spite of my family history--but I;m trying to manage my anemia & totally want mini-wheats now!).
A huge FO to neverending car problems, the cold, and the car problems aggravated by the cold. And my lack of confidence professionally. All I want to do is write the perfect essay and get accepted into this program that could help my career. But first: sleep.
