I sleep 10 hours a night but still need to nap constantly during the day. Even 400 mg of caffeine doesn’t buzz me, it just makes me feel 70% close to my normal, high energy 20s self. My daytime fatigue is so severe I’ve been mistaken for being drunk (even though I don’t drink), and I experience a dream like brain fog around friends unless I use caffeine pills to seem present.

I know this is part of normal aging for a woman in her 30s, but it’s frustrating to constantly need naps when I haven’t even done anything. Sometimes you just have to biohack. Still, I feel a bit jealous of how men age differently and seem to keep loads of energy.

    I’m nowhere near as smart as I was when I was 15. This thing with mispronouncing words and getting sentences wrong happens to me all the time now and I find it so much easier to communicate via text than actually speaking. Most of the time I feel like I don’t know what’s going on and I actually thought today was Wednesday! Hooray for ageing! I miss teenage me.

    Looking at your other posts, you seriously need to see a doctor. Something is wrong.

      Everything’s normal! I’ve seen multiple doctors and had every blood, vitamin, and hormone test under the sun, and then some. Everything comes back normal. I’m just not in my prime

        You’re acting drunk, mispronouncing your words enough that you have to text and can’t speak properly, and need constant naps.

        Come on now. I know it sucks to push doctors for answers, I know it sucks to have to stop and take care of your health, but this is serious.

          I’ve seen multiple doctors for years. This is just something I need to get on with. Every blood test came back normal. And, like the meme I posted suggests, caffeine does wonders.

          I really don’t believe this is actually a woman and I fucking hate saying that. There is too much “not in my prime anymore”. Like every single comment has that, it so reads as a guy making fun of women getting older.

            Nah there’s no way this is a woman and I also hate saying that. No woman is seriously pushing that our DNA degrades so much in our 30s that we’re literally geriatric.

                You’d think these types would get tired of the same jokes over and over again.

                Women being ancient at 30 years old? Please, it’s not even clever!

                  The entire account is gross. I reported the post under this rule:

                  Be civil: No trolling, bigotry or other insulting / annoying behaviour

                  I pointed out the comments calling women over 35 are offensive and the entire account feels like a troll.
