Desktop. Thank you for what you're doing!

Oh I hear you and I empathize. I wish I had a secret remedy for you because I'd surely be taking advantage of it as well.

Me too, had this my whole life, but meno has really amplified it for me.

 

Anyone else? It's not exactly heart-pounding anxiety, and it's not quite hopeless depression. It's somewhere in between there, with a heavy focus on fears related to getting older (and weaker and less independent) and a bleak outlook on the world (especially the US) in general.

I have a lot of hot minutes these days ...

Oh I hate it. So much. And the strays that stay in the shower end up in my HUSBAND's cheeks later.

You asked for it! :D

I. Am. Miserable. It's been a few weeks of physical and mental hell. Hormone fluctuations still show up out of nowhere, 2.5 years into menopause. They mess with my digestion, which messes with my antidepressant, which triggers an HSV2 flare-up... my poor husband. He's stuck with a bloated, exhausted, wiry-haired, whiny mess of a wife. I'm clinging by my fingertips because I promised him I would.

Same! Still in it. Hoping I'll get into the swing of older-age one of these days.

You're my hero, leftylibra!

So happy to find you here!!! Yay!!!
