I have noticed strong increase in my fatigue since beginning of this year.
I'm on Rx vitamin D which has helped but couldn't figure out why still tired.
Watched YT yesterday talking about B vitamins including B-6 so just bought a bunch and took my first 200mg. Also got zinc supplement. Going to try this for week see what happens.
I've renewed my driver's license online as many times as I can, expires in 2026. I drove to the Country Homes office a couple weeks ago, stood around with a bunch of people and then was told at 9am 'if you don't have an appointment, we can't see you.'
Fine. Went home and tried to schedule an appointment. Four times on their effing site.
Have called their office 4, 5, 6? times and can't get thru to schedule.
I guess it's time to call my state rep's office?
This is B.S.
A friend/coworker of mine just told me something this morning and my jaw is still on the floor at what this guy did to her.
To preface, I am an older GenX (60/born 1965) and my friend is about 63 so just the top end of BabyBoomer generation. She is the opposite of me physically, tiny, 5'1" about 115 pounds. She looks about 45 and looks great but is disabled because of a traumatic injury 10 years ago. She is ambulatory and can walk, talk, etc. but can't work because of a serious neurological thing which can cause deadly seizures.
She broke up with an emotionally abusive live-in BF in February who she had been with for about 10 years. Previously, she was in a long-term marriage with a guy and has 5 grown kids by him. Ex was also emotionally, and even physically, abusive.
So she moved into a new place sans BF and immediately started dating. I'm tempted to say some of what happened with this most recent freak is her fault but I'm not going to fall into the victim blaming trap.
She met 'Jeff' on FB Singles a few months ago. They exchanged a couple of text messages and she met someone more interesting so started going on coffee dates with the more interesting one.
Jeff persisted in texting her and she finally met him IRL for coffee. They hit it off and did a little kissing in his car. She said he was attractive and, though he is good looking, he's NOT Brad Pitt.
They spent over a week together, going on gym dates, hiking, more coffee, I guess there was one bar-n-grill meet up. He told her he can't stand pets (dogs/cats) and she has a pitbull mix.
So 12 days into this dating honeymoon, he called her one day and just dropped verbal bomb after bomb on her.
He is retired from the military and lives on that comfortably. He has zero interest in 'ever supporting any woman.' He asks her if she's aware that if she marries again she will lose her disability? She says she is aware and has no desire to marry again.
He tells her he had a background check done on her and knows how long she's been disabled and how much she gets per month. (Apparently this is the new online dating thing?!!!) He even found out how much her ex husband pays in alimony.
He decides her being 10 years older than him, even though she doesn't even look it, is a problem.
4. He then tells her she will probably die alone and poor as 'no guy is going to want to take on you as a financial burden.'
She listens to his soft-spoken rant for a while and then hangs up when he does. She blocked his number.
Personally, I would have hung up way, WAY before that.
My question is: aside from the 'rape academy' thing is there a Negging website I don't know about? Are there sites for men to go to discuss dating women just to mind fuck them and then try and emotionally 'own' them???
Finally, I'm so, so glad I'm done with dating. I have CPTSD and would not survive this kind of emotional abuse.
