I started having low progesterone at 35 and soon after I needed a lot of alone time and rest. I was not working and I went on disability. Then I became more active for a while and it hit me again at 45 and I am needing a lot of rest again. I don;t want to judge myself. I went through child torture and chemical torture in a psychiatric hospital so I have had to take it easy since that happened at 21. My grandfather rested in his room for 25 years so I guess maybe this is normal for my relatives even if they did not have any trauma. But i need to learn to understand that this is MY normal and everyone else's judging based on their over hectic lives need not bother me. I guess I am just looking for some support because I am 50 and 1/2 and I can only stay with people for three hours a day. It is just too much any more than that. And that is OK . Sloths sleep for 21 hours a day. So do babies. I am feeling judged by the people around me who have a different schedule than I do and I accept them for who they are and they need to accept me but they don;t . I am not going to let it bother me. i love me and take care of myself and listen to MY needs.

    Absolutely love your post lullee, we should all love ourselves, take care of ourselves & listen to our needs. If your lifestyle works for you then who cares what anyone else thinks, nobody but you knows how you are feeling. menopause is a horrendous time for woman (hit me like a train) you take care x
