Menopause sucks!

“Are you hot?” ”It’s getting hot.” WOW! Sweating profusely at random times, multiple times in a day, night, and week. It can look as though you have just come out of a shower!

“Can you blast the ac or fan!!!” Chills. Now it’s cold! Hello?! Why do you have the fan on so high?!  Covers on. Covers, off. Fan on, No Off! No ON! OMG!!!

Menopause Sucks!

Breath in, five pounds. Breath out, 3 pounds.

Tight, my pants feel.

Breath in 3, breath out, another 5.

Tighter.

Breath in and out, add another few more pounds.

Nope.

“What does the scale say?!” I NEED to go shopping?

One size up.

Let’s try the next size

No.

The next size?!

1x2x,3x, really?! Are you kidding me!? What is going on?!

Do I look fat? Does this make me look fat? Tell me the truth.

Menopause Sucks!

Do you wanna go shopping?’ ”Nah.”

“Let’s go to the movies.” ”Nah.”

“How about drinks?” ” Nah, not feeling it.”

“Well, what’s the matter?” ” I don’t know!” Cue the tears.

Melancholy.

Menopause really sucks!!!

I heard a report, there is a pill to help with these and other symptoms.  I also heard that it is usually not prescribed to women. hmmm, I wonder why?

Support groups?! Do those exist? I don’t know. Who knows? Anyone?

More is needed.

Talk.
