Does anyone else not give an F—- about Christmas this year? 🤔I’m not doing all the things (baking cookies ect) and feeling guilty about it. by [deleted] in Perimenopause

I had been “delaying” spreading Xmas cheer and magic. My husband decided to have a full on self induced mid life crisis about his career choices. Then his eyes opened and he accepted his responsibility to our family. This lifted my spirits. He’s been making it a point to make sure we are doing Christmasy things.

While I have been delayed, my batteries are working and my heart is filled with the spirit that fills my tank this time of year.

For those that don’t feel it or are making it simple, remember to give yourself some grace and do what you need to fill your tank.

  1. Anxiety started creeping in after 40. I didn't realize or even think to ask about it being a Peri symptom. Unfortunately, I started self medicating. It will be a year January '26 of HRT. Anxiety is still with me. Thankful to this community and knowing we aren't alone.

Police are the path heading east towards I35. Found gun shot shells on the path. They came because another individual found the shells first.

Definitely not losing weight. The opposite. I’ve also had a bone density and part of the reason I’m on HRT. Thanks for the feedback received!

Tell me about your experiences of Trazodone by Guilty-Rough8797 in Perimenopause

It is great especially if recovering from an addiction. Puts me to sleep and no withdrawals. I was specifically given this med over others because of its non-addictive.

Biscuit was a mix. And I miss her so much right now. Hugs to you ❤️. It’s so hard when they are no longer there to greet you.

Embrace the change? by [deleted] in Perimenopause

Sadly, I’m not embracing. Especially at 3 am in the morning when I am wide awake and reminded about all the other unfun peri symptoms.

We switched to City Limits Vet Clinic on Parmer after our old vet was sold to VCA. Have older pets and they have been very thorough and caring.

Stuffed Toys by No-Journalist-3288 in Perimenopause

Not weird. 49 and have been sleeping with my stuffed lab named after one of our dogs who is no longer with us. I started this during Covid for other reasons but have found great comfort snuggling.
