63 and I can't take care of myself anymore
I'm so tired. I thought I'd have a few more decent years, but my energy level after the whole scamdemic is nill.

I have issues with functioning in heat above 80 and my circadian rhythms seem to be set for having no energy at all until 6pm. That's when I start to feel energized, coffee just makes me more sleepy, it has to be a latte and there are no more morning routines or places to go.

The lot across the street is for sale. When it sells, I'm next, with no idea where I'll go. I don't see how I can own again. I'm just to tired. The lawnmower broke for the 5th time ( just keep buying new ones since its cheaper than paying someone to mow the lawn). Soon I won't be able to do that.

I damaged my knee but the Physical therapy place was so horrible I cancelled the sessions. They were still wearing masks even though they didn't have to.

I wish I could have experienced what so many other women get to experience, being loved and pampered by people, always someone in your corner, brothers, uncles, cousins that all love and care for you.

Anyway just venting.

Go ahead and hire someone to do the yard. It’s worth the money to save you the energy and hassle and might eve out to about the same $.

Consider becoming a night owl instead of fighting it. Have you thought about finding a roommate or getting a dog?

I hear you. Just be glad you spent your 60+ years in an America worth living in. I suspect a good portion of Americans will succumb to death in the next 12 months. And if this is to be the end of America, I am glad that I lived my life at this time and in this country.

sleep during the day when its hot...I do then I do my thing at night...when your older the heat zaps you so change it up.

I am 59...and yes half the energy...

but you have to accomplish one thing everyday...

Your a little depressed..thats all...

we all are but cant let that stop you from doing things...

You dont need to go to clinic for your knee...go watch video's and wrap it yourself...

We all have these moments of defeat, but don't give up just yet. I do believe we are here at this time for a reason, even if it is just to witness events unfold.

If you need to downsize, then get to it. My mom and stepdad just decided they can no longer live where they are and are getting rid of a bunch of crap they no longer need or have energy for. They are moving to a smaller, more easily manageable place. You can do the same. Who cares if you own a home or not? By 2030, none of us will, if you believe the jerks will get their way. Rent if you must. Do what you need to do to get by the best you can.

You are also not as alone as you may believe. Get out and talk to people. Join a church or community garden or something. Anything that gets you socializing and gives you a sense of purpose.

You got this!

Fix knee - boil a whole chicken for 3 hours and drink the broth for a few days.

Fix energy.
1) Take a mega-minerals supplement. Mainly for the Magnesium, but all the minerals are important.

2) Co-10 enzyme. strengthens the heart and gives you some more energy.

3) Full bit B complex, including Niacin, (not niacinimide).

4) take a laxative if needed.

5) force yourself outside to walk. Use a cane if necessary.

6) fix your lawnmower. Good exercise. Buy a cheap $10 carbuerator replacement, and will likelt start up.
Find a youtube video on your mower.

7) Play soome peppy music.

Re: 63 and I can't take care of myself anymore
what was that stupid quote I read just yesterday lol anyway it was like energy doesn't come to you to do something, you get up and do it and then the energy comes (it was a lot nicer quote) I thought about that for a minute because sometimes it takes me a minute to get rolling but when I do I'm all about it. To me it seems like depression, force yourself to get up and do things until they come naturally (that's what I do)

These things help but not a cure. And for me its currently my hip, woke up over 10 days ago with it out, and will not be getting doctor doing anything.

Have been using the collagen, not just chicken but also ribs and they help.

Bacon helps too, the selenium is needed and while I'm taking the supplement with NAC its not where near as good as the real Food grade.


Ibprofen constantly, taken with several things. The first time after my morning coffe with iodine drop, in water, NAC and Selenium, and that helps enormously, but it wears off.

The second batch in the afternoon is with OIL OF OREGANO capsule, that is very good for a short while, can sit without pain.

And last is again with NAC at night.


Also B3, Nad+, B Complex, a spoonful of nutritional yeast, WTIH PQQ and Resveratrol.

And host of other things that I cycle as its too much to take in one day, Boron and Silicon. MSM Citrate for the off days, wild yam root that I switch over for Soy Isoflavones for hormone.

Omega 3.

Energy Magnesium helps. Iodine helps. Pqq and Coq10 helps. B vitamins help.

C when I can.


The imperfect timing of this is its just when my birthday present arrived, my tube greenhouse, and my son is fixing it up securing it, metal steaks, wood shelving, to try oyster mushroom farming.

But now I have my mobility curtailed.

Re: 63 and I can't take care of myself anymore
OP, this video is remarkable. Solving the problem, health issues, supplements and nutrition. And going around or through or bypassing The Block, sometimes its going a diff route, doing something diff, sometimes its making it work an alt way.

For example dad says oh you can't do more than a hobby with the 26 foot greenhouse we don't have the 7000 for the electrical upgrades, and he just keeps trying to control my dream.

My son and I discussed power station, and start with a cheaper one, add some solar, need 2 one for recharging, or even 3 of the 250-300 dollar ones, so one is always recharging, and I want to learn to build a higher power one as well. But we have to start with something.

So we're already thinking alt roots, and if its doing well a pellet stove.


If I can walk out there and even sit in my moms wheel chair to monitor things.



There is never one way to do things.


This is the 4th video I've seen with this remarkable man and his life work.

Its about healing and working through the blocks.

Turn that lawn into a food forest and try to repair yourself with the nutrients from it. The exercise could invigorate some too. What have you got to lose?

Meat on the bone, chicken, thighs, drumsticks, AND ribs, steaks or roasts like rib roast or even some of the cheaper cuts if you can tenderize properly, along with EGGS, Eggs are really good for joints and collagen and arthritis.

And lots of vegetables but not ones with the oxidates the anti nutrients such as potatoes and spinach.

Cabbage, beets, and lots of broccoli for example. Mushrooms as well.

Thanks. I forgot to mention iodine. If your thyroid is underperforming from lack of iodine, that will slow everything else down.

Hip muscles can really be difficult.
A good back walking Masseuse can fix it. Or sleep on a better mattress, or take up Tai CHi, which really focuses on lossening up the hip, knee, and back joints.

If the proplem is a tight spasming piriformus muscle, focusing on relaxing that SOB muscle can help a lot.
Hip roller device can help also balanced side stretches.

Re: 63 and I can't take care of myself anymore
yep, your lack of energy - most likely comes from the lack of nutrients in your diet ... you need to make sure you are getting what your body needs (essential) because it isn't in our food anymore

go get a blood test to determine what you lack - and supplement with liquid forms - which digest better - good luck

That's the problem, I cant keep up with cooking anymore. To much to explain. I can barely get a sandwich down.

I miss the city where I could get all my meals with no issues. Now its apps and crazy charges the food always sucks and is cold when its delivered. So I don't use delivery services at all. It's also very lonley.

I may have to move BACK to libland. Rural life, even life in Nashville is to isolating and to much driving.

It's that or Italy. I could live in Florence like a fucking queen for what I pay here. A nice flat in town is 1000 a month. I could eat everyday in cafes with the best food.

If anyone here is from Italy I'd love to connect. What's it like right now?

Even if your weight is good, if you’re malnourished you’ll still feel icky.

Been watching some YouTubes on the carnivore diet that look interesting too.

Be careful of Italy: they, along with France & Austria, were one of the worst countries during lockdown and their mandates to come are likely to be more noxious to your health than auspicious.

Sungaze is right about those vegetables with toxic oxalates (Popeye be damned!) and lectins etc. NO beans at all, too hard to digest, ditto for nuts, which I loved, can't digest them.

Where in libland would you move to? Wish you lived closer but again: we'd be two peas in a fatigued pod, LOL! The future really scares from what the "farmlands buyer" is planning and me not able to store any food and needing meat and more meat to survive. :-/
