Hi sweet Ladies,
I've just had a gruelling three weeks of family issues,teen issues
and older son issues all rolled into one..feeling emotionally
exhausted trying to peacefully sort everything out.
And now I get my period , and everything makes much more
sense and I'm much more calm and able to reason.Whew!
If only we could schedual dramas around hormones!Haha.
Does it become easier with the arrival of menopause?
Do you have any tips how you handle the next rollercoaster
ride of 'issues' landing smack in the middle of your upside down
cycle?
Thanks!
I can't take drama these days...and refuse to be around anyone who creates it, lol! Trust me, this family has it's share...drug addicted adult son...daughter in an abusive relationship...mother inlaw with failing health becoming a full time job, and a sister inlaw who has to be the center of attention where ever she goes and drama queen to the max. Some days I just want to throw in the towel on everyone and just walk away...forever. But for some reason, the little bit of love i have left keeps me here...and I don't have the energy to run away anywhere...it would be too much work to pack a suitcase.
Sometimes i just blow a gasket...other days I just go back to bed with the attitude that this too shall pass.
I am very short on compassion for some of the people in my life these days, and I get feeling guilty about that much of the time. But life has stretched me to the limit for so many years that now I figure you know what...this is MY TIME! I don't have to try and fix your problems, I got enough of my own, so get lost until you figured your own crap out and don't bother me with it. You need extra attention...find someone who cares, cause I don't have it right now. you made your bed, you lie in it.
It's not MY bed. I'm having enough issues trying to figure out how to make my own these days! lol!
Thanks for your reply Sounds like you've had a tough go of it!
Lifes settled down until the next round here..I know I probably should stock up on the right foods, vitamins and get enough sleep before pmt
because I'll be more emotional and a little bit less rational then.
The last month was like going into survival mode with 3 seperate issues going on, food ,warmth and trying to get sleep being priority amidst the termoil.But we got there.I didn't really have time to think about hormones or lack of haha.
Take care x
