    Pregnancy is wreaking havoc on my symptoms, send help 🙃

    On a lighter note, we’re coming to the last few weeks now, so that’s good, but it also means that it’s even harder to move around to do the things I feel motivated to do. I’m lucky if I achieve one task for myself per day, be it loading the dishwasher or folding laundry. Single pregnant people, I don’t know how you do it

      Omg, I feel you so hard. I was useless in the last trimester especially. My brain was so foggy, and there was zero motivation.

      Hang in there, just a few more weeks, and you’ll have your beautiful baby here! You’ll be sleep-deprived, but you won’t be pregnant anymore 🥲

        Hearing someone else’s experience helps a ton, so thank you! I feel a little bad, but I am definitely ready for pregnancy to just be a fond memory 😅

    I’m feeling frustrated because last week, I learned that I won’t be able to schedule my surgery for my broken shoulder for at least a month. 🙃

    Feeling a lot of anxiety about the whole thing… the potential long-term effects, the amount of extra pain I’m experiencing while actively working (at a job where I literally just type), the fact that I think I probably also have couple of bone (or at least deep-tissue) bruises that are making it painful to walk, simply existing in public spaces in and around vehicles, and of course the incident itself. Ugh.

    Anyway, I’m at least grateful that my job is remote. I also just finished the base game of Horizon Forbidden West, which I really enjoyed.

      Holy shit, you’re just sitting there working with a broken shoulder? That’s just not right, I’m sorry. I really hope the pain subsides and maybe by some miracle you get the surgery earlier.

        Yeahhh… thank you. The thing is, I’ve been desperately pining for a wfh job for a long time, and I’m actually still in training. This all happened on the second to last day of “in-office” work before they planned to let me work 100% remotely.

        It’s a small company, and the people seem really great so far, but I doubt they’d allow me to not work for probably closer to two months as a trainee. I also can’t really afford that.

        The delay is caused by my needing both an MRI and a follow-up appointment with an orthopedic surgeon, so sadly an earlier surgery isn’t likely to happen.

          Gosh, I’m so sorry. Hang in there, and sue the hell out of the driver who hit you, if you can.
