It's normal. I've had every blood and hormone test under the sun and they've come back normal. Seen lots of doctors including female ones. I'm not going to waste their time any further it's just one of those things you have to get on with as an older woman I'm not in my prime anymore.

I've talked to loads and my tests have returned normal!

My iron and Vitamin D levels are fine. They were checked recently along with various other things.

I've had a second, third, and fourth opinion. 3 of those doctors were women.

I get very good sleep! All my tests are normal, my boyfriend has watched me sleep too. I don't even snore. My brain's just getting a little bit unfresh lol

I don't have caffeine often, it's only when I'm on outings.

I take my caffeine pills about an hour before I'm due to go out. Outings can be 8ish hours, but even when the caffeine is at peak amounts an hour after I take them they don't make me feel buzzed or hyper, just sort of close to normal. And this is at 400 mg.

No depression, I only have caffeine occasionally when I need to be out and social with people, or productive. My iron levels are normal as they have been checked too. Everything's normal! I'm just no spring chicken anymore.

No, and my hormones were tested too including estrogen, thyroid, etc. all are normal!

It's normal! I've been checked up, I'm not overweight, all my bloods are fine.

I haven't had children, though. I've had every blood test under the sun, too.

 

I sleep 10 hours a night but still need to nap constantly during the day. Even 400 mg of caffeine doesn't buzz me, it just makes me feel 70% close to my normal, high energy 20s self. My daytime fatigue is so severe I've been mistaken for being drunk (even though I don't drink), and I experience a dream like brain fog around friends unless I use caffeine pills to seem present.

I know this is part of normal aging for a woman in her 30s, but it's frustrating to constantly need naps when I haven't even done anything. Sometimes you just have to biohack. Still, I feel a bit jealous of how men age differently and seem to keep loads of energy.

 

I’m nowhere near as smart as I was when I was 15. This thing with mispronouncing words and getting sentences wrong happens to me all the time now and I find it so much easier to communicate via text than actually speaking. Most of the time I feel like I don’t know what’s going on and I actually thought today was Wednesday! Hooray for ageing! I miss teenage me.
