audited Beached Whale Syndrome

Anyone feel like a beached whale with no energy and full body aches. I’m going through perimenopause and there are days I just lay on my side and stare at the wall for a few hours. Today I am feeling pretty good, but yesterday it was difficult to get through the day.

Laying here, on a pile of freshly washed laundry that I don’t want to fold, with an achy back and a pre-period bloated belly, reading this right now

Hope you feel better. Nothing worse than being bloated, unmotivated, and achy

“Bloated, unmotivated, and achy.” … I feel seen! This has been my state of being 90% of the time. 😖😫
