Know what you mean,
I always liked doing what I wanted when I wanted too,
Not anymore, now my body tells me when it's time to go to bed,
or get up, or not sleep at all. And many other things too.
I can cope with my body getting creaky, or my knees hurting, or my neck aching,
It's THE mind, the thoughts, the total negativity that the anxiety brings on that I can't cope with, if anything about getting older/menopause related that brings me down , to my knees is the mind games, the anxiety. For me, it's the worst thing ever...
One day, we'll get total control back, I'm sure of it...
