Si se ha demostrado que pasar 8 horas sentados es perjudicial para la salud a la larga ¿por qué se sigue haciendo? ¿Por qué tener un escritorio que se eleve para poder alternar el estar sentado y de pie no es algo primordial en las oficinas hoy en día?

Al final de mi jornada laboral acabo con fuertes dolores en la espalda. Estar sentada 5 días seguidos por más de 8 horas durante años han empeorado la salud de mi espalda. Intento hacer estiramientos dentro de lo que puedo, pero al final de la jornada no tengo energía física ni mental más que para caminar un poco y ya.

¿Alguien más se siente igual?

I’m exhausted.

My story is quite long but I’ll try to get to the point of my current situation.

Since two botched jaw surgeries I’ve been feeling so depressed. I’ve been saving for this expensive surgery for so long to fix my really bad malocclusion and small air way. I was really hopeful I could get my problems fix and it would also improve my self confidence having a normal bite and face as I was promised. Unfortunately, the first doctors just botched my and gaslit me during the post op so I had a trauma since then. I tried looking for a new surgeon and tried to stay positive that there’d be a solution, and found one doctor but also the result wasn’t what I was promised either, and not only that, I relapsed and got an overbite again so I’m back to square zero. So all of this was for nothing. Just spending a lot of money and worsening my mental health. I’ve been trying to find answer to my relapse because I’m struggling with pain, discomfort and my speech is worsening (also I hate my face). Every time I look in the mirror I feel devastated. It’s so painful not recognising myself anymore and feeling I look worse despite all the things I tried to do to fix all of this. My second surgeon just couldn’t give me answers of what could be my problem. But I tried to find other opinion and was diagnosed with condylar resorption, meaning my condyles are just disappearing over time. The solution I was given is replacing my ill condyles with titanium prosthetics as well as redoing my upper jaw. I kind of knew it because I did a research beforehand of what could be the reason of my relapse so I wasn’t surprised with the diagnosis per se. But after I was given the price of all of these procedures I just wanted to give up. Now I feel overwhelmed with all of this, the ridiculous amount of money and having to undergo another risky surgery with the fear of being botched, gaslit, etc.

I’m truly exhausted.
I’ve been dealing with suc*** thoughts during all this journey that started on 2023. I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep going. I don’t know how to stay positive anymore. I just don’t know if I’ll be able to pretend I’m okay and keep dealing with my life. Going to work while depressed, trying to be fine with your dear ones but inside your mind is all negative thoughts that won’t stop no matter what.
I try to keep thinking everything will be fine, but I cannot save that amount of money and also I don’t know if that surgery will be well done and my results will be finally good.
I just keep overthinking and feel like sleeping is the only way I can avoid this nightmare.
I don’t know how to stay positive after all of this.
This life is exhausting. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to be happy again at this point.

Thank you so much for reading this. I’m sorry for the long text. I guess I just wanted to vent somehow.

I’m exhausted.

Hi. I got my lab results today and it says
TSH -> 0,62
T4 -> 11
T3 -> 1.74

Is this hyperthyroidism? Should I be concerned?

Thanks in advance

I (30F) got finally my blood test result and it says I got 12.6 ferritin and 37 iron which it seems to be low. But what would be the ideal level of both? I’ve been experiencing a lot of hairloss. It’s so frustrating. Also it doesn’t help I got my period twice a month sometimes, but gynaecologists diagnosis doesn’t show anything abnormal. So if that’s the root of my low iron, I don’t know what can I do other than taking iron supplements and a rich iron diet?

Also would love to hear iron supplements that aren’t harmful for your stomach, please!

And if you have any food recommendation, I’d appreciate it.

Note: I’ve been dealing with low iron since a teen but after getting supplements for some months and quitting it then it goes low again.

Tysm!

Siento que el trabajo está llegando a un punto que ya me está agotando física y mentalmente. Cada vez entiendo menos que tengamos que hacer esto todos los días de lunes a viernes y 40 horas. Siento que mi cuerpo y mente no pueden más. 8 horas al día sentada en una oficina, fingiendo estar bien y escuchando conversaciones que no me interesan. También es cierto que tengo depresión por diversos problemas personales y de salud que me consumen mentalmente y quizá por ello se me haga aún más cuesta arriba. Aún así, creo que igualmente esto es inhumano y no sé cómo la gente que veo todas las mañanas coger el transporte público o conduciendo aguantan. ¿Estarán todos tan cansados como creo? Hablando con otras personas, me comentan también lo mismo, que sienten agotamiento. Nos falta tiempo y energía. Pasamos más tiempo con personas que no nos importan que con nuestros seres queridos. No podemos evolucionar ya que nuestros hobbies y creatividad se ven mermados por la misma falta de tiempo y energía. Y ya si le sumamos que carecemos de salud mental, el loop se hace infernal.

Escribo esto porque siento que al haber sido festivo el viernes, me siento algo más descansada que cuando sólo libro los sábados y domingos. Y me da rabia pensar que mañana tengo que volver a esta rutina sin sentido por un mísero sueldo el cual tampoco me puedo permitir dejar porque he de cubrir muchos gastos… no sé cuánto más aguantaré así.

¿Alguien más se siente igual?
