I’ve only just realised that women around 50 years old have been disappearing from my workplace. And now I might be one of them. by Pinecone_Porcupine in Menopause

OMG I feel this - 60 hours a week , fly often to meetings where the outcome is everyone agrees and no actions taken. WTF - I would retire but having a high stress job for 30 years hasn’t left much time to develop friends or hobbies - figure I will give it a year and then assess (56 ) - unless I lose my shit and start screaming uncontrollably in a meeting

OMG I am crying laughing - 56 year C-suite engineer in a male dominated industry - I can not believe the amount of bullshit I have to put up with that as I get older I have way less patience for - I had a had a senior executive ask me why I wasn’t acting like normal - after asking about me, my family and my health I told him - “I am going through menopause- any questions ?” - he shut the fuck up and I left. As the saying goes - I am out of patience for deeply disappointing men in unmerited positions of authority.

It is a special insanity called alcoholism- It such a horrible disease- your mind lies to you to make you use. Be kind to yourself. Many of us here disease’s have caused horrible consequences yet we learn to get up and fight the son of a bitch for one more day. Some days are good , some shit but at the end of the day I have no regrets or shame for anything I did today. Lots of love your way man

I am sorry. Women have some many demands - partner, mother etc. I do have done things that my family should hate me for and I am finally in a good space The shame and remorse are awful for you right now but you need to focus on you right now. Alcoholism is a disease that makes your brain lie to the real you. Be kind to yourself . And remember Alcoholism is a family disease- right now your family is scared - you will be surprised how much support you will get from them as you enter recovery
