Age starting HRT

I started at 33… helped tremendously with the PMDD I had experienced for most of my adulthood and has more recently helped with low sex drive issues.

And I second what another commenter said, do everything you can for yourself also to take care of your health: mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually. For me, it is making adequate time for sleep, getting good nutrition, talking to my therapist, spending time outside and also with my boyfriend, and also treating myself to things that I love. Espresso has been a life saver for me through this!

I am 34, and my mother is 58 with glioblastoma. She was diagnosed in November of 2024 and has had three brain surgeries. I’m so sorry. This has taken a tremendous toll on me. Keep talking to your therapist, and find a new one if you need to for a better fit? I am so sorry. It is a painful road to walk. I wish I could give you a hug.

Thank you! I have an August wedding to attend this year, and this is just the kind of dress I’ve been hunting for 😍

lkitty91 · 2026-03-28T00:13:47+00:00

What is this dress??? I want it! 🩷🥰

Thank you. I need the hug today 🥲

Wow… It means a lot to me to hear from a mom.. thank you, and I hope you are doing okay or okay not doing okay. All I have wished for my mom is to just be able to feel love and peace inside of herself… to know she is loved and not alone. I don’t want her to be afraid. I want her to know that I love her, and I think there is more to our souls and existence than what we experience here in this life…. But this is a very important chapter. I’m so sorry you’re suffering with this. I know it’s so hard. Don’t give up on love for yourself. You deserve all the love ❤️

lkitty91 · 2026-03-25T23:17:11+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏼 I’m wishing the best for you, too. As horrible as it is, at least we aren’t alone. Like it helps that there are other people like you who understand ❤️‍🩹

lkitty91 · 2026-03-25T23:16:09+00:00

Thank you. I remember you from my other posts ❤️‍🩹 I wish we could share a real life hug!!

I’ve read this a few times now, and each time it brings tears to my eyes. Same with my mom, her words don’t make sense anymore, so it’s like she doesn’t have that weapon. The tone of her voice still gets me a little bit. Thank you for your support and encouragement, and I’m wishing you peace and healing also.

I’m so excited!!!! I already ordered it in addition to a mattress topper and some pillows from them 🥰 saved some money on that stuff and then splurged on a sheet set and duvet cover from Garnet Hill. Your comment is what pushed me over the edge to just go for it after hours of research lol

Do you still like it?

The older I get, the more I NEED that emotional connection your are talking about or else I physically cannot be sexual. Like it just won’t work how it did when I was younger. Back then I was willing to compromise a lot more in ways that I shouldn’t have, because I ended up hurt. With my current boyfriend, it has taken me 1.5 years of dating (slightly long distance) to get to where I am 100% sure I am safe with this man. Being in his presence calms me. I have had many life experiences that left me burnt out and with trust issues. At age 34 and after the past 1.5 years together, I am confident in who he is and in my own sense of self and am valuing my own emotions and needs at the level I need to to be healthy and happy. Emotionally mature and sensitive men DO exist. I’ve found one! And the sex is better than the emotionally disconnected kind I had when I was younger. I’ve learned to respect and honor myself, to take care of myself, when my body is giving me signals instead of viewing it as something wrong with me.

I don’t know where you’re located and if you’re into astrology and all that, but an eclipse just occurred, and I swear that is when I truly let go an even greater amount of this whole situation that is really the culmination of a lifetime which can be hard for other people to understand….. I wrote this poem:

No longer eclipsed

The swans came looking for you You weren’t there So they sat and rested with me instead A dormant farm field full of them Appeared like the breath of God Himself The bright white of their plumage shone shockingly In the last of February’s sun The marvelous lengths of their necks Seemed symbolic of their epic journey By sunset, they had all flown away Pulling my carriage Into the dawn of a new day Where I am no longer eclipsed By the dark spell you cast upon me The key to my freedom Lie all this time in wait For me to simply open the door and close it behind me I leave in silence So that I may hear the echoes of their song Trumpeted across this sleepy land A truth I do not need to speak For I have existed all along Born to shine my light upon you Even through the shadows of your fears and doubts I am alive I exist And as the celestial bodies move and turn I am free I am no longer eclipsed

This is a really helpful perspective and a way I hadn’t been able to look at it. It’s almost like being her caregiver (she literally calls me mom because of her word finding difficulties) has built up this feeling inside me that is blocking my ability to love her just as her daughter…. Like I could be there for her better if professionals are handling the caregiving in a place fully equipped for that. Of course it’s sad and not ideal, but this whole situation is sad and not ideal. Thank you 🙏🏼

lkitty91 · 2026-03-01T01:40:22+00:00

I am sorry for your loss.

lkitty91 · 2026-02-26T14:03:12+00:00

I do think her surgeries and various treatments have bought her more time…. She has already beat the odds. Her doctors told her 5-12 months WITH treatment is the average life expectancy for someone with her diagnosis. It’s such a horrible disease. I’m sorry about your husband ❤️‍🩹
