Hey Ladies...

I read an article a couple of years ago, regarding being in menopause and the magnification of phobias; which I can attest to! I am sooooo.. scared of rodents, I can't stand the site of them. That being said, my rodent-phobia has magnified during menopause. This is yet another hell on earth, I have to deal with! What are your thoughts on this anomaly?

    Hello Vivian,

    I honestly think menopause magnifies EVERYTHING!!!! It's so crazy and unpredictable, I hate everything about it. I am still so amazed how very little is known about this phase in a woman's life and how very little help there is out there.

      Hey Claire...

      You're soooo... right! Somedays, I wish I could just magically turn my intrusive, ruminating thoughts off and DELETE ALL the negative, horrific images that have consumed my mind. Be well my menopausal sistah and remember to STAY hydrated, no matter how you are feeling, pump that H20.
