Well. I'd guess you need some iron then. Get that checked (ferritine levels). Might change your daily life.
I agree that Nebs to get the bllod iron checked. I had iron induced anemia as I developed an ulcer during my 2 years of caregiving my cancer sticken wife. I take a reactive iron supplement and keep my stress levels down. My anemia has gone but I know it can come back too easily.
 
Every Sunday I have a debate within myself about attending church. Today it seems worse. I want to but dread the "how are you doing" questions from very caring friends we made in the church. Although I know they mean well, I have this stong resistance in me. Your thoughts? Also, sorry if this post triggers some strong feelings in you.

I think I know what you're talking about. Sometimes it's worse to answer those questions if they sound they expect you to be worse than you actually are. At times even like you had to calm down their worries.

Have you not gone there for a while? After a long while the first time is naturally the worst, and then they kind of learn what's going on and it gets easier.

I have not been there in person since my wife was diagnosed. You are right - the anticipation is the worse. I have 2 close friends from church and maybe if I go with them it might help to get over the inertia.

Church people are usually genuine and helpful. I went every Sunday, on the Board, etc., until I was widowed, took up with a dame, and the pastor said I needed marriage counselling.

Going with friends sounds like a very good idea.

Certainly they will ask you a lot the first time, but not as much after that.
 
Well here’s a strange question for you all, what age is a belly piercing no longer cool? Considering that it was hell to get done in the first place please temper your response 😂😂😂😂😂
When you get old enough to start needing surgeries and you have to take it out and then it doesn’t go back in.

Not speaking from experience or anything.

I hate the “how are you doing” from anyone… it’s such a generic question and no one really wants to hear… “I’m doing shit lately”
 
You're not lazy, you are doing the best you can.

I'm actually about to go out of town and am feeling nervous AF about it. The walking and the social stimuli. But I just need to remind myself to pace myself and it's ok if I'm wiped after. And thank goodness my knees are getting done tomorrow if it makes me sore.
Are we all just a bunch of social awkward weirdos that prefer being online than the real world?

I was going to go to church today, but I usually get the same questions asked of me. I should have gone, I would have loved to see their reaction when I told them I've got Covid 19. 😂😂😂
 
I took a break to make muffins. I agree we all have something broken: our heart, spirit, self worth, etc. Yet we all support each other no matter age, gender, ethnicity, country, faith, etc. love you all
 
Good Morning Chaos!
What lovely topics did I miss this morning?
I really do love our conversations and cross referenceing of life experiences.👍😘

What's wrong with that? I for one don't care what society thinks of me. If they don't like what is say, I tell them f.u.. When I worked, it was online. Internet or intranet.
 
Good morning, ready to pour all the coffee after being awake for 24 hours and then sleeping for 5. I love travel.

Actually I really do love travel just need to push the reset button.

Also sincere hug to those who are struggling, especially those willing to share with the group. I’m always an ear for you.

Try asking from a Finn, and you'll get an actual answer, not just "I'm fine" in most cases! (Part of what it means that we don't don't small talk.)
 
I have wondered that - as in - holy shit! These people are as broken as I am!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I know that isn’t true, we are all different. But there is a lot of shared damage too. ❤️❤️❤️
Were not broken, A little messed up maybe, but we are what we want to be, A kind loving generation of smarties who have each other to fall back on in times of need, we care deeply about each other. ❤
