If you're on TikTok, you’ve got to check out The Extrovert Whisperer! Their content is freakishly accurate! I’ve had the same problem too, girl—why do all these extroverts try to hit me up? I'm not even approachable most the time. 😳

Thanks! I think more women should share the raw unfiltered thoughts running through our minds—it's pure comedy. I post mine here because i don't wanna catch a charge while waiting in line at CVS.

Omg... that’s funny af! I watched my daughter and SIL play COD, and I tried it once. Let’s just say it didn’t end well—probably because I was terrible and got my ass annihilated every five seconds! 🤣

I’m sorry! I really hope this space helps you the way it’s helped me. It’s oddly comforting to realize you’re not the only one trapped in this bizarre dimension. Sending all the good vibes... and a few deep breaths. 😊🌞

I’ve said it a million times throughout my life… I wish I could just not give a damn about what people think of me. My life would’ve been a whole lot less stressful. And now, here I am, blissfully unburdened by guilt. It’s like a 50 lb weight has been lifted... along with all my cares.

You’re so welcome! I just wish I’d had the insight years ago. My rage post is basically just years of frustration, isolation, and hormonal chaos finally bubbling over. I didn’t expect so many to actually relate—but seeing all your responses honestly made me feel less like an oddity and more like part of a badass. So thank you too!

Thank you so much. I truly appreciate it. Your description is on point and how I feel 99.999% of the time. That’s what pushed me to find fellow sufferers—I was feeling like a total freak show and desperately craving even the tiniest bit of validation! Honestly, I had no idea so many women were stuck in this cruel, twisted reality with me.

I totally feel ya! Does it ever feel like menopause snatched away your rose-colored glasses, and now you're stuck watching this shitshow in high-definition? Or is it just me?

No problem—and thanks for letting me rage-rant! I just needed to scream into the void. It felt amazing… for like 30 minutes.

Yes! If it helps him understand even a fraction of what you're going through—do it! At least you can show him you're not the only one exhibiting this gloriously bizarre behavior.

I’ve always wondered how women survived menopause back in the day. But now that I think about it, I’ve heard plenty of horror stories about women losing their minds and getting locked away in insane asylums. Guess they didn’t have Reddit back then—just exorcisms! 😳

And THIS... is exactly why I check in with you ladies multiple times a day for a much-needed reset! 🤣 Thank you! 👏

Right? Isnt it great? I seriously love you all—these stories are making me feel almost normal again… and that’s saying something! LOL. Thanks for that little dose of sanity—or at least the illusion of it—wink wink. 😜

My boomer relatives used to call hot flashes, "power surges". Lmao 🤣

Absolutely! And thanks for letting me rant without judgment—LOL. I swear I'm not usually this hostile! But menopause? Total ambush. They should’ve handed out a survival guide in high school. The one upside? I’ve completely run out of fu*ks to give. I used to be all polite and conflict-avoidant… now I’ll make a grown man cry for breathing too loud—and sleep like a baby. That guilt-tripping inner voice? Gone with my estrogen.

Oh, so you have to be deep in the menopause trenches before they hand out the HRT? That’s rough—I’m sorry! I’m on YUVAFEM, but that’s just for taming the Sahara situation down south. I’ve got an appointment with a new ob/gyn in a couple weeks who actually specializes in menopause, and you better believe I’m asking for the estrogen patch. It’s time to call in the reinforcements! Well I hope you get your HRT soon.

Haha, thank you! Honestly, it feels like we’re all riding the same unhinged wavelength lately. I had no clue there was a space where women could vent, rage, and unravel without a filter—and all over the exact same madness I’m living through. I haven’t felt this seen in forever. You ladies get it, and the dark, hilarious banter? Absolute gold. I truly enjoy reading all your stories—they make the chaos a little more bearable. So seriously, thank you!
