Health, Mental health and Food: Bummer

Bummer

By Anonymous - 24/12/2022 09:00

Today, I guess I’m really special because my body can do things others can't, like eat loads of good food and still feel weak and malnourished. Or spend 13 hours in bed and come out bleary-eyed with lack of sleep. FML

Feeling faint

By jacey - 12/06/2021 02:01

Today, I discovered that my body will go straight to “weak and lightheaded” before it even considers “hungry.” FML

Exhausted and fat

By Anonymous - 21/10/2021 19:59 - Germany

Today, my body can do wondrous things, like turn bread into blubber, produce pimples and wrinkles on top of each other, but still hasn't mastered the basic principles: using sleep for recharging and turning food into energy. FML

Best of both worlds

By Alyce - 05/12/2020 23:02 - United States - Lewistown

Today, I was finally diagnosed with insomnia. The trouble is, because of my physical disability, I also have diagnosed chronic fatigue. Barely can stay awake during the day, can't sleep at night. FML

Food for thought

Today, after many years of being one of the best workers anywhere I worked, and being superhuman, I now have to accept that I may never be able to work full time again. Why? Because apparently I haven't been properly digesting food since I was 16 and I'm now 30. FML

I'm only sleeping

By Anonymous - 10/06/2023 12:00 - Germany

Today, my body has decided that sleeping past 4 a.m. is strange idea and should be resisted. It is also of the opinion that any duration of sleep less than 10 hours per night constitutes a lack thereof, which deserves physical signs of tiredness, like looking several years older. FML

Equilibrium

By Anonymous - 29/01/2022 11:01

Today, my top priorities for being able to function in life are being healthy and slim, and getting enough sleep. Unfortunately, my only remaining pleasures in life are eating chocolate and reading long novels in bed. FML

Tears for Fears

Today, I realized that not only do I dream about sleeping or passing out, but that those are the best ones. FML

My body hates me

By Anonymous - 07/02/2024 12:00 - Germany - Buchholz in der Nordheide

Today, some things that are hard for many people are easy for me, like learning languages, being thrifty, and organizing my life efficiently. On the other hand, some things that are easy for most people are near impossible for me, like feeling well-rested after 8 hours of sleep. Or converting food into energy. FML

Body clock

By what - 03/09/2023 08:00

Today, I decided to turn over a new leaf. I slept eleven hours instead of twelve, with the intention of cutting down to eight. Instead, my body chose to faint from exhaustion. FML

Lord give me strength

By caitlyn - 22/11/2024 02:00 - United States

Today, my adult daughter was hospitalized for severe fever, diarrhea, and fainting. The doctor couldn't find any cause other than sleep deprivation, because I started making her wake up at 7 am. I’ve never met anyone so ridiculously weak in my entire life. FML

You should get Marvel and DC Comics to get a bidding war started over making a superhero based on your innate superpowers. I'm not sure how Tiredwoman solves crimes in Gotham City or Metropolis, but I know her cape would be a nice, fluffy blanket.

13 hours in bed is far too long. If you're sleeping more than 8-9 hours that's just as likely to make you unhealthy as too little sleep.

The quality of sleep is more important than quantity, but I agree with others. See a doctor. Something is really wrong.

Chances are you really need to see a doctor or at least go to an urgent care clinic. We all get minor illnesses and plenty are going around now that make us feel sick and tired for a few days to weeks. But this is something that should get checked out if it’s ongoing. There are many physical and even mental health issues that can feel like that and this is the season for them.
