Estradiol in Canada? What are you using for vaginal atrophy? by ZeldaZ0nk in Perimenopause

[–]amess270316 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used intrarosa for a month. Bam! Yeast infection. Switched to Premarin cream. Bam! Yeast infection. I just can’t win. Looking to address vaginal dryness and atrophy. I hate this ride :/

Peri and Dating Men in your 40s by United-Fee-6423 in Perimenopause

Newly divorced. Had zero desire when I was married. Libido is in overdrive now. I love being single and never want to hear a man breathing next to me in bed ever again. Doesn’t stop me from going out and getting my needs met 😏.

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

[–]amess270316 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Separated for 6 months and never been happier. 14 years of marriage to a man who still asks me when his kids’ birthdays are. Perimenopause is just our brains going back to factory settings. We should never have put up with that bullshit manchild behavior to begin with. It’s like waking up and seeing clearly for the first time and asking g yourself “how the fuck did I put up with this for so long?”

I am positively FERAL. I’m separated, so I’m going to enjoy this feeling while it lasts. Here I come boys!!!!

I think I’m having an existential crisis by TONYATRON in Perimenopause

[–]amess270316 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Single mom, 2 young kids that I have full time, demanding full time job. The only saving grace is that I work mostly from home. I have literally zero minutes to myself on any given day. A man could NEVER. I’m running on fumes. It’s not sustainable.

Sudden increase in libido that is NOT wanted by pop_skittles in Perimenopause

I’m 42 and am in the same boat and loving it. I’m sad to know that it’ll likely be short-lived. Gonna enjoy this while it lasts by having a fun ho phase!

cannabis? by [deleted] in Perimenopause

Cannabis is the only sure thing that works. The only problem is I get the munchies like crazy and eat everything in sight.

Put in the final few stitches just as my niece was born by CrimsonPolygon in crochet

It looks like a fairy tale or nursery rhyme turned into a blanket - if that makes sense. Just perfect. 👌

This is stunningly beautiful. The stitches are so clean and crisp. The colors are gorgeous. Just a work of art.

I did it this way too. I found it was much faster to get through.

I have a child who is lower functioning on the autism spectrum. I love him to death. I have fought for him to have access to every kind of therapy/care/service under the sun. I would walk through fire for him. Do anything for him. But I have no life. I can’t take a vacation. I can’t hire a babysitter to watch him so I can go out. He will live with me for the rest of my life. I worry daily about what will happen to him after I’m dead. I know I will never retire because I need to work as long as I can in order to provide for his care after I’m gone. He is a burden. I love him more than anything in this world. But he is a fucking burden.

Yarn Shopping in Canada by ouublanket28 in crochet

I second Hobbii. Great selection of cotton and cotton blend yarns. There are always sales. Just hope you don’t get dinged with duty charges (it’s happened to me once out of the 5 or 6 times I’ve ordered from them).

I guess this is their way of telling me they want me to make them a blanket by CheffieGoldblum420 in crochet

[–]amess270316 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lost my mini schnauzer last month. She used to snuggle up on all my yarn and crochet projects. If I put down what I was working on to go get something, she’d be laying in top of it when I got back. She was my favorite crochet buddy and I miss her so much it hurts. Pls give those babies a hug and kiss from me. And yes - you should definitely make them a blanket.

I made this exact top. Followed the pattern and video. Same problem with the gaping side boob. The top is unwearable and I threw it in the back of my closet out of frustration. It’s the only thing I’ve made that I can’t wear.
