Open for anything. I've been to taco lab and the duck already. What are some others?

I have been struggling with a lot of unrelated health issues for decades. However, things started to slip in 2018. This was right before covid. I started becoming slightly incontinent. Ok, im aging and had a child in my 20s. I knew it would happen. I was ok. Then the cysts started. Weird. Doctors told me shower more than once a day, use anti bacterial soap. OK. Then the weight gain. Hmm. Not sure what that was about. Then covid hit and I had a mental breakdown. I blamed covid, the isolation, the uncertainty of everything. Started taking meds after a 6 week behavior therapy program. Life continued.

Weight gain kept coming. My intimacy with my spouse stopped. The incontinence worsened. And the cysts and sores kept appearing all over my body but especially my vulva and pubic area. No doc mentioned menopause because I had a hysterectomy 20 years ago so my periods stopped a long time ago.

Today, I shower once a day and wash my face and genitals several times a day. I apply acne cream everywhere. I drink lots of water. I sleep like crap. And im about to quit my job because the anger and stress of figuring out I am in either Peri or full blown menopause. I am not able to take pill form hrt because of other health issues. I have a message into my doc to see if I can take dermal hrt because frankly, I am at the end. I am in so much pain from the cysts, tired from sleepless nights for years, angry with everyone, i cry constantly. Im fat. Im tired. I hurt. I just can't take it anymore. I just need to know that im not imagining things, that this sucks, and other women are dealing with similar issues and surviving.

Hi all. I am loving the creative hive mind in this sub and touring all the fabulous homes out there! But I have an internal conflict. I really want to have a house i can share in the home tours because I think I've done a nice job. However, after touring the homes out there, mine just sucks in my flat dull uncreative opinion. Irl, I write, paint, craft, and dream of fantastic things. But in game, I look at a lamp and see just a lamp. Am I alone in the feeling of inadequacy with regard to home decor ideas or do others feel similar? This is not a pity post. Im genuinely curious if others out there decorating have a mental block when it comes to looking at items in certain ways. Maybe its my brain. I mean I have no idea. Thanks.

Edit: thank you all for the ideas, suggestions, and encouragement. I really appreciate it and you guys rock.

Police, ambulance, and poss coroner presence. Looking sus. Im sorta nosey since I live over around there. Anyone know anything?
