I go completely insane this time every month! (Peri PMS)!
So please let me vent a little!
I am own by a house I can’t sell! I fantasize about blowing it up!

Imagine finding yourself stranded and alone on a DESERTED island.
At first you welcome the solitude as you bash in the warm sun!
You find a nice cave, complete with cable TV and a fast modem.

Slowing cabin fever sets in & you start to go stir crazy!
OK my husband is here but he complete gets on my nerves!
You pray for a rescue boat, then slowing hope fades, days turns into weeks, then weeks into to months and before you know it years are passing!

I read once that menopause was a time for discovering yourself> what idiot wrote that?
I liked whom I was!
I hate the words “The Changed”!
I feel I have done nothing to deserve this.
I want to run away from my life and all the responsibilities!
First I have to ditch this house!

Snowy,

It is so sad that your house hasn't sold yet... You've been wanting that for a long, long time now.

I agree, the person who suggests that menopause is a time for "discovering yourself" is an idiot... It's a time that a lot of women completely LOSE themselves, and don't have a clue who this new person is... And as you say, they would have liked to stay as they were, thank you!

Just want to say I feel for you, and for everyone who finds this a rough ride.

(((HUGS)))

Dear Snow .......


OK, i'm not selling my house, but i can relate to everything else you said! Right now, so many things get on my nerves, SO easily! I feel like a different person! and I agree, I was ok with the person i WAS, I just want that one back.
I think i feel like I've "lost" myself somewhere in all this , and yet, there are days i can see some other "being" emerging..lol .. a "different" me, in a way, some days I like that new/diff. me...and other days, I don't. It is insanley stressful one way or the other, there is no doubt about that! Oh yes, the hubby? .. yeah, he really gets on my nerves too! (without even trying), and I can tell then, it's really ME that's changed. I too hate that phrase "The Change", it makes it sound so easy, so "soft" ,so "nice" ..... NO NO NO....this has been awful, scary, stressful, painful, etc....I'm sure i'm leaving out a few choice words here, but you get the drift. Snow, you're not alone kiddo! This whole peri thing is so DRAINING, and it leaves you feeling washed out. I keep hearing that sooner or later, things get better.....I CERTAINLY HOPE SO!

HUGS SNOWY! sincerely, mydarling

Still NO rescue boat!

Keep scanning the horizon........ (((Snow)))
