Hello ladies,

I have a general question for all of you who have hit the post menopause stage of your lives:

Does it get better?

The reason I ask is, presently, I'm in the throes of a personal upheaval which is either accenting my peri or accelerating it, I'm not sure which and I wonder: Who Am I Going to Be On the Other Side?

It seems my sleeping brain is battling with my awake brain and the messages I get are conflicting....as I have posted before, I feel like there's a tsunami of change shuttering deep within me and it scares me and tittalates me at the same time....

Today, I'm home from work doing some much needed spring cleaning and I feel like tossing out eveything I own and paring my life down to a good book, a sunny window and, of course, my computer....

Why do we accumulate so many "things" in our younger years only to look at them now (at least for me) and wonder what to do with them all.....

Although the physical ailments seem to be in the forefront of peri, what does one do when it seems the emotional feelings are stirred up and that million dollar question, "Where do I go from here?" races around and around in our heads, looking for a way out????????

Am I making any sense or have I inhaled too many furniture polish fumes

Thanks for "listening" and it's back to cleaning.....

Hugs,
Momz

I understand what you're saying as I'm sure most of the ladies here do.

It's not the furniture polish fumes getting to you. . .I found myself examining, dissecting and analyzing various things in my life. Sometimes I just feel the need to get off from under the crap collected over the years that are reminders of toxic people that I purged from my life. It felt liberating dumping the stuff. I guess I am aiming to streamline my life now that our kids are grown and refocus my attentions on myself after 23 years. Where am I going? What do I want to do? I don't know, but I'll deal with it one day at a time.

I am just starting the journey and I already know I think too much!!!!

good luck
