    hi alison. i am so sorry you are having a rough night. I am too. I think ive got about 2 hours sleep so far and its 5:00 am. This will not make for a good day. My husband is going golfing and I will be here with the kiddo. And he is going to tell me that I never feel good. And if I compare myself to other moms who seem to always feel good with all of their energy, I don't. I've been there with the sore boobs. not fun! if you are like me you just wish there was a way to turn your brain off

    Yep.. I have bad aniexty too and wish I could just turn it off.. I might even sleep better.. I do worry about my kids-- phones, grades, going out with friends, etc... Then it's Easter next week and I'm so not ready!! It's like I can't multitask or focus anymore. Sometimes I wonder if it has to do with being someone positive in my life.. I'm married but often times I'm everyone else's support and then have noone for me.. Just odd.. And yes, I often look at other women at amazement-- how do they do it all and look good too.

    we are so hard on ourselves. 2 nights ago i force myself to focus on good things I HAVE DONE. it helped. we all have more good than bad, but we focus on the bad.

    take care.

    I'm right there with you. I've always had PTSD that seemed to die down in my 30s and now peri has made it come back with a vengeance. Afraid to leave home, dissociation, insomnia. I feel some days like just pulling a Virgina Wolf. And I'm still single. Plus thanks to peri have a ginormous fibroid. And yesterday had heart racing, dizziness and really bad stomach upset so now worried about that because I had appendicitis before but they left it in. I also have gallstones. And because of the giant fibroid which I'm trying to get my stupid insurance to pay to remove I can't take hormones. I PRAY we all speak up and get doctors to take this seriously. Not everyone blows through peri and menopause with no symptoms, tho I feel like those are the only women you hear from in public. Tho the UK now has menopause leave but the US had nothing. The US SUCKS when it comes to taking care of us, healthcare, college loan debt etc. It makes me ashamed of this country and want to move.
