Calling all menopausal women out there, especially the one's that really feel as if they are drowning, do you feel like talking about it, shouting about it, lying down on the floor and having a bloody good tantrum about it!?
I'm 47 years old and menopausal and I'm really fed up with there being nothing sensible out there for me to draw on and to help me make sense of this very significant time of my life.
I feel physically bloody awful most days and mentally swing from being at times, extremely out going and opinionated, verging on the hysterical, where I could take on the world and it's husband and heaven help anyone who gets in my way in the M & S aisle, to introverted and sullen and pointless my brain completely void of thought with bouts of sobbing in between.
Everyone is wrong, I am right, then somehow eveyone is right and I most certainly am wrong!
I don't want to embrace it and I don't want my boobs to get any more matronly than they already are!
What I object to more than anything is the lack of any kind of respect from the medical profession about the menopause and I think it's about time there was a massive world wide uprising of menopausal women! ........................well at least a local support group!
Well said my damp & sweaty, angry friend....ouch!!
ReplyDeleteI will join you if you allow those on the 'chemical path' to menopausal enlightment......I still have days where I could kill, days when everything is as dry as the Sahara and days when I struggle to remember how to add 2+2 (very worrying as I have a shop!)
Carry on with your ramblings...sorry insights into life and the menopause, very entertaining xx
I am in the same miserable club.......some days I feel I am unstoppable, queen of the world and am unbelievably kind to all dumb animals that cross my path, including the odd male specimen, then the next moment I'm prodding that same male specimen in the ribs, at best........or at worst I'm quite capable of letting forth a verbal rant that wouldn't be out of place on a football pitch..........it has to get better, surely......doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I found your very interesting blog through the ravelry group Allotment Knitters.
