I'm Willing Myself Forward

Posted , 6 users are following.

I'm so tired of dealing with these symptoms...numbness, zinging, no memory, bones cracking, bloating, exhaustion, anger, depression, cold flashes, GI problems. The list goes on. I'm willing myself forward, but it is so difficult and painful. I'm doing my best to keep the faith that one day this will all be behind me. I feel like I should be awarded a medal for getting through this!

    Me too Bev! You are definitely not alone. This forum just about keeps me sane. The thing that annoys me the most is when you have the odd days you feel well, you think great and plan something in advance. When it comes round, you've no energy or motivation to do it. I'm so over it, sucking the joy out of life!

    I plough through as best I can but some days are too hard.

    I hope you start to feel better , sending a virtual hug! xx

    Hey Bevvy...

    I totally understand where you're coming from! My thoughts are: Can someone please turn the rollercoaster lever to OFF? Cuz, I want to get off this DAMN ride, let me off of here, get me out of this DAMN seat! I'm tired of: kicking, screaming, having chest pains, bad hair, looking and feeling CRAY-CRAY, the anxiety, the nervousness, intense fear, etc. That being said, this is for you Bev: Reading FROM My OLD English Scroll: Hear Ye, Hear Ye!! On this day, October 21, 2021.. I hereby award this Gold Medal to BEV.. for getting through menopause in one piece! I say to you, the townspeople: Her loved ones, friends, family members, neighbors, co-workers, Walmart & Target associates, grocery store clerks, restaurant host/hostesses, hair stylists, nail techs, spa techs, etc... are still intact!! She did NOT resort to violence, when the SINISTER menopause reared its ugly head! She did NOT strangle or kill anyone with her BARE hands! I declare & decree this proclamation on this day! Amen.
