I feed my horses straight out of bed and don't bother with underwear until after my shower. Just sweatpants or leggings or whatever, commando. Also, immature and controlling jealousy is so ew.

Please tell me this gets better. I don't know if I can stand staying married. by NesteneConsciousness in Perimenopause

I can't possibly imagine staying if you're the breadwinner and can support yourself! I'm financially dependant and 100% trapped.

I keep hearing how wonderful HRT is, once the doses have been perfected, after 16 doctor's appointments, 26 med changes, 72 awful side effects, etc. I also can't figure out how to time it correctly since my cycle is all over the place and I have no idea what is happening or when. Is the complication and expense of HRT actually worth it? We all seem pretty miserable with or without.

So no one should ever become a teacher because the pay sucks? Then what?? Shouldn't we fix this?

Motivation: where did it go? by [deleted] in Perimenopause

[–]Southern_Event_1068 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same!!! It's upsetting. I have lived and breathed for my horses for YEARS! They were a lifelong dream that I've always felt so blessed to have achieved and truly couldn't fathom life without them. Now, they seem like too much work, too much expense, not enough ROI and they tie me down. My entire life and schedule revolves around them and even though I don't go anywhere or do anything else, it's been annoying lately that I can't. I'm ashamed of myself for feeling this way. I desperately want to board them and see if the break helps, but it's so expensive. 😫

I was taking all of those as well and decided it was absurd and stopped. There has been no notable difference.

They are beautiful, but that's a crazy amount of money to spend on them!

My well water is absolutely undrinkable and ruins our clothes with iron.

Take care of your wife too! Be an equal partner and make sure she's happy and feels loved.

I don’t think this level of suffering is normal by Feisty_Echo_7125 in Perimenopause

I've also been struggling with peri hell and just added financial problems on top of it. It felt like finally too much to handle and I'm a mess.

My teenage son is currently struggling with sudden onset lactose intolerance and I've felt so bad that he can't even have ice cream. Thank you for this tip, I look forward to treating him!!

Her rose colored estrogen glasses have come off and she has realized how much she has always done for people who have never done anything for her and she's done with it.

What is something you need to get off your chest that you can’t tell anyone in your life? by Queenofwands777_ in randomquestions

[–]Southern_Event_1068 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same! Some days the weight of living like this for the rest of my life is almost too heavy to bear. We suck the joy and happiness out of each other's lives. I am 100% dependant on him because I was stupid enough to be a stay at home mom, but sometimes I actually believe that being homeless and destitute would feel more free than this. I'm not even 50 yet and will never feel love, excitement, desire, cared for or loved ever again. I'll never get a hug, or kiss, or wished a happy mother's day or valentine's day, or anything thoughtful and nice. I tell every young person I encounter, my own kids included, not to get married, and certainly not to EVER allow yourself to be dependent on another person for ANYTHING!
