46 here and I genuinely did not think I'd be posting in this room for a while. But here I am with an actual decent week to report so I'm taking it. Sleep has been... okay? Like not perfect but I'm waking up feeling like a human being most mornings which was not the case two months ago. I think the thing that's helped most, for me, is just having breakfast be the same every single day. I stopped treating mornings like a decision-making exercise. Same thing, no thinking. It sounds so small but the cognitive load of even that was killing me. Also started walking after dinner most nights and doing some weights three times a week. Not heroic amounts. Just consistent. Have a follow-up with my OBGYN next week and for once I'm actually going in with things that got better to report, not just a list of everything still falling apart. That feels new. Cautiously new. But new.
