Ok, I'm going through Menopause. Thrill a minute. I hate it. My hormones are all over the damned place. I am constantly HOT and I mean HOT!! Guess who doesn't understand. Doesn't care to understand the hot flashes. The hot flashes feel like I'm burning up from the inside out. It's like you could touch my skin and feel me go up in a roar of fire. Granted I don't have the periods anymore to worry about - or rather I haven't had one consecutively in months - that alone is the one relief.
I can't remember things I want to say or write. Everything or nearly everything irritates the living crap out of me.
C. fusses at me when I'm washing dishes (don't run so much water) I'm thinking "so much water?? &*#$ the water - you want to do dishes feel free to do them or get me a damned dishwasher" - don't leave the light on - "I can't damned well SEE anything without the light, you do it your blasted self" - etc. etc. I'm sure you get the idea. Don't you?
So, when you see me lamenting, bitching, whining, complaining - forgetting where I put my head one minute and then finding 2 or 3 of those suckers laying around and I'm fussing about where the hell were you when I needed you...realize...I've reached a dangerous time in my mood swings...freaking Menopause.
Doesn't help that I can't afford to go to a doctor to get any kind of help w/ it. Insurance costs just too much freaking money. Not to mention I couldn't even afford the prescriptions if I could have them.
Thought this was funny - woohoo - It's just so "me" at the moment!!
Q: How many women with MENOPAUSE does it take to change a light bulb?
A: One! ONLY ONE!!!! And do you know WHY? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb! They don't even know that the bulb is BURNED OUT!! They would sit in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it out. And, once they figured it out, they wouldn't be able to find the light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CUPBOARD for the past 17 YEARS! But if they did, by some miracle of God, actually find them 2 DAYS LATER, the chair they dragged to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!!!!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE WRAPPER THE STUPID LIGHT BULBS CAME IN!!! BECAUSE NO ONE EVER CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!!! IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE A FOOT DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS HOUSE!

what an honest post..I do understand...I'm going through it too...it just plain 'ol SUCKS!!!
ReplyDeletecan't believe it's been 2 years since you lost Heathen..:-(
Yeah, me too. Well, I'm just beginning but the hot flashes were HORRIBLE. I began looking up spontaneous human combustion to see if there were any cases where witnesses heard the person say, "Damn, I'm getting REALLY, REALLY HOT" before they burst into flames. Fortunately I have insurance. My GYN put me on an estrogen patch and it's helped a HUGE amount. I only wake up soaking wet occasionally during my period and the hot flashes are gone. My mood has been greatly improved as well. Lauren is very happy about that. But in the long run, I've been waiting for menopause since my first period so alls good here in MD!
