millions of people are walking around with chronic viral and bacterial infections and don’t know it. Feeling like that isn’t just normal aging.
Turning 40 be like that yo. Honestly can’t be anywhere near alcohol as ill feel like crap for 2 days straight after
Coffee clears that up for me pretty quickly. Like immediately after the first sip. Some say I’m addicted. I say I’m self medicated.
Sleep apnea makes you feel hungover. Get checked.
For me, it’s perimenopause, but good to know.
I’m 44 and am really quite sick of having to be aware of drinking enough water.
Until just a few short years ago I could just crack on and not think about it. If my mouth was dry as Gandhi’s flip flops, I’d have a drink, otherwise I wouldn’t think about it.
Now I start to feel like shit, and can’t figure out why, until I remember that i’ve only had a point of water today and could probably stand to drink some more.
It’s bullshit.
Gandhi’s flip-flops? Fuck that’s dry…
Amazing verbiage, fanks!
If this is you, try drinking more water.
Congratulations! You are now in your
LATE THIRTIES
. You have unlocked the following attributes:- sleeping “wrong”
- fatigue
- interesting medical conditions
- sore back
- crushing sense of ennui
- realization that you’re never going to get the social security you’ve paid into for your whole career
Don’t forget the crushing realization that all your childhood dreams are dead!
I think about this sometimes in the way that if I wanted to start a new career or do something different and I quickly realize im to old to do most things these days… all regular sports have been long gone. Other jobs requiring physical requirements are either over or near the end. I remember seeing the air traffic controller shortage, and they showed the requirements and I laughed and said we’ll I couldn’t even attempt this if I wanted to since they don’t accept people over 31. Lots of options are just gone at this point, and it’s sad and scary.
True, a lot of options go away, but not everything. When I was 18, my dad died, and I (the youngest) was an adult, so my mom went back to school and became a nurse. She’d been a school secretary for most of my childhood (and ran a childcare center out of our house prior to that), so it was basically her chance to follow her own career path. She became an Nurse Practitioner, and has been doing that for the past 20 years (she’s semi-retired). She turns 70 next year.
Fuk me. You people are hillarious.
A huge chunk of my focus is on holding back the years. Exercise, diet, restraint. It aint easy, and I fail a lot. The humor here hits home.Might as well going back/starting drinking at your age!
I did the opposite and stopped drinking a year ago because it was only hurting my health. But I see your logic.
Drink water, eat healthy, and exercise this will likely go away in a few days to weeks of good habits.
While I agree that doing all of the above is good for you, it will not take away perimenopause and menopause symptoms.
That is true, but a lot of people on this thread talking about their 30s being like this.
Might as well take up drinking…
Yeah 2,5 litres of water should be bare daily minimum intake. Start easy, and know that the frequent trips to the loo will slow down once your body has adjusted
My chipmunk bladder would like to have a word with your claim that the trips slow down over time…
It depends a lot on how physically active you are, but you don’t need 2.5l in many cases like office jobs.
Correct - you could stay with the shitty feeling. You’d still survive
I’m getting dumber.
Yeah, I know. Thanks, me. I’m so dumb I don’t even remember creating that account or typing that!
god i feel this so much. like trying to push through mud to get thoughts to complete sometimes.
