Hi. I am 52 and starting to feel the effects of the delightful "m"
Hair thinning, skin drying out pregnant tummy et al. I told myself not
To be a whinger and stay positive as I am usually a glass half full kind of
Person and am so surprised how rapidly my moods have changed
I feel like a different person. I am seeing a medical herbalist To alleviate
The awful painful periods ( suffer with endometriosis too and it's returned
With a vengeance ). The depressed moods are even harder to deal with
And I am finding it so rotten having nobody around who understands
I work for myself and have become a bit isolated , I also pushed away
Friends a bit too because they all got on my nerves ( another sign.?)
So feel quite alone in this strange and weird world of dramatic swinging
Of mood. Today I had a strong urge to take exit from the rat rsce and go
Back packing to oz ! Talk about irrational !! Anyone else having such random
Thinking moments?! I hope I can be a complete moany grouch as much as
I like on here - apologies in advance ladies >:(

:welcomemm: we have a thread on how noise upsets us, we also find that friends aren't always supportive, GPs can be absolutely useless at understanding the various HRT methods …….
You grouch away ;) - you are in Good Company as you will see once you've done a browse round. We have a funny room too ;)

:welcomemm:
You moan away, the rest of us do ;D
Browse around and join in, nice to have you with us.

I became very intolerant of people , that's so not like me, but I think the real me is coming back in that department! I thought I just liked being alone, but thinking about it I actually isolated myself, no fall outs, I just kind of disappeared lol
Welcome by the way, hope you enjoy chatting with us all
Xx

Morning all - thanks for your welcomes - its so nice to receive them and such a reassurance that I am not the only female Meldrew
around. I actually think humour could be my way of coping with it all. I did chat to a friend last night and we had a good old laugh
about our bunions and pelvic floor issues . But on a regular basis you cant keep phoning and moaning when the wave sweeps over
so I shall be Meldrewing on here regularly! ;D

You'll be welcome! Have a browse round the smilies too, some will give you a lift ;)
Sometimes I want to pack and bag and run. Where :-\ ::) - away from 'it' all ……… but as I can't read a map, we don't fly, I like my own bath and bed, doesn't leave much choice really :D

Welcome!! I'm with you on noise and people. I work with the public and I am starting to find it very difficult to DEAL with people these days - not just difficult people but any person who wants more than I feel able to help with. I'm starting to think I need to look for a new job but then I think WHO WOULD EMPLOY ME??!!
I can also relate to the packing a bag and running for the hills feeling. I don't even think about packing the bag ;D

Hah ! I work for myself and chose when I have to see people. Quite lucky really but sometimes it takes extreme effort to get out the door.
I am always longing to escape , I was the same when I was in my 20's as well. Spent yesterday evening looking at Spa's in Thailand on the web........ sigh......yearn.....
