Why do some women have it easier?

I've been going through this for 2 yrs now and I have good days and bad days. The past few days have been bad. Low energy, palps are back full force, feeling short of breath and down in the dumps. This morning I woke up feeling like crap and the first thing I see is my neighbor running up and down the road. She is the same age as me (45) and she's up at 5 am walking, then leaves to go to a gym and then comes home and works out again in her garage with there door open, she sun bathes in the driveway and then gets all dolled up in fancy clothes and walks around the neighborhood. How is it she feels marvelous and I feel like poo. I don't understand, I drag myself up at 9 drag myself to the gym at 11, come home and put on my Pj's. I literally have no stamina, and I eat well, mostly organic. It kinda tees me off that she's like an Energizer bunny. And if she was nice I wouldn't care, but she is a dreadful person. She talks soooooo loud I can hear her on my house. I'm just wondering why some of us have it so bad, and others it doesn't seem to affect. Sorry if I'm ranting, but I also seem to have developed alot of anger this week. 😩

      I was like that up until this year, the fatigue and low stamina has really been a struggle. I used to play tennis for hrs, now I probably could do maybe 30 min. I hope one day my energy comes back some.

    i was that person too i thought i was doing everything right , working out regularly, eating healthy, did me time -spas, hair treatments etc. now i try to ensure i dont look atrocious when i leave the house, but i dont even care much about my appearance . i used to love to buy clothes and shoes i have tried but it gives me no joy what so ever. i also think that people may look all good on the outside but they may be struggling inside.
