I am beyond EXHAUSTED. I don’t know if my Hashimotos is to blame but I’m tired of pretending like I’m okay. I got diagnosed in mid 2024 after have my first child. At every appt I tell the dr I’m not really having symptoms. For some reason I diminish how I feel if I’m not feeling it in the moment. I’ve been called lazy by my parents my whole life and ig I’ve believed it but now everything actually feels so hard. I make all these plans and try to be better but when it comes to execution I fail. Everything seems to require so much energy that I don’t have. Even climbing up a flight of stairs feels like a task. I don’t know if I’m just lazy and being sedentary has made me this way or if it’s the hashimotos. I’ve been trying to workout and have started going on 20-30min walks but I still feel so tired all the time. My weight is increasing like crazy even tho I haven’t changed anything, in fact I barely eat. I feel like a horrible parent and person. I feel like I’m failing myself and my kids and I won’t ever accomplish anything in life. I’m always tired and just want to rot in bed. I don’t know where I’m getting. Ig I just want someone to validate my feelings. Am I over reacting? Is this normal? How do I get out of this?

Edit: I don’t know much abt this condition and would appreciate some input. I get my thyroid levels checked occasionally, have a talk with my endo, answer a bunch of questions and she send me on my way. At first I tried following an anti inflammatory diet in hopes to go into remission but got pregnant again and it all felt like too much effort without any results so I gave up.

Should I be concerned? I’ve tried BLW since baby turned 6m old but he’s just not interested in food whatsoever. I introduced purées since solids weren’t working and even then some times he’d eat happily and others he won’t open his mouth. He will play with his food but not bring it near his mouth. Also he is ebf. Should I see a feeding therapist? I was also concerned he wasn’t rolling or clawing but turns out he knows how to he’s just lazy. He finally started crawling a couple weeks ago at 9m. So I was a bit relieved but I’m noticing he’s not eating solids well. He eats purées or yogurt when he feels like it but other than that he pushes food away, closes his mouth tightly and turns away. Some days he eats great and other days he only nurses. What am I doing wrong? Plz help.

Edit: oh also he still gags a lot and doesn’t really try to break food down he just tries to swallow it whole.

Why is potty training so freaking HARD!? I’ve been trying since February. Some days we make great progress but then soon after we regress. Some days she’s screaming I can do it myself and running off to the potty. Other days she’s peeing everywhere. I am so tired I want to scream and yell and cry. We’ve had 6 accidents today and it’s barely 5pm. I’m ready to quit.

Hellooo. So I’ve been potty training on and off since February. For some context my toddler had been familiar with the potty since about 15m (she is currently 30m) and has never refused to go or been scared of the potty. I also have an ebf baby which is the main reason I’ve been putting it off (I would give up when she’d have too many accidents). This week she ran out of diapers so decided to just fully potty train instead of buying more diapers. When I have her running around commando she will go to the potty all by herself, rather excitedly telling me “I can do it, I can do it” but as soon as I put an undy or loose bottoms on her she starts having accidents. Any tips on what to do? Also how long did your toddler take to fully potty train?
