SORRY LADY's , I'M DONE PUSHING MYSELF!
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hello Girls,
Yes, I am done pushing myself into doing things because it's the right thing to do. I have been dealing with this for 14 years and I can't take no more!
I have always put everyone first before myself in my life all my life. And never thought twice about it. That is just me.
And I still put my children first, but as far as going places family functions, weddings, baby showers, husband's Christmas parties etc.
if I don't want to go or feel uncomfortable , I hit a point where if I don't want to go, I do not go!
And I feel all the better for it.
I just tell my husband and my family the truth, tell everyone I'm in a depression. I am not going to hide what is happening to me. It is what it is, It's hard enough I have to deal with it on my own let alone having to worry about what other people think.or hiding what's going on. I tried hiding it for too long. It is very liberating and I am so happy I hit this point. It may sound selfish but I feel so much better. besides I think it's about time I've become a little selfish, as this has never been a trait of mine.
I know all of you might think less of me but I'm sorry after 14 years I'm glad I hitvthis point.I hope none of you have to go through what I have.
My best to you all!

All the best to you and keep going!!!!

I also have had my children later rather than earlier. I had my first at 39 and my second child on my 41st birthday!
Afterwards I went right into peri !
I am now 53. My children are 12 and 14.
I still need to push for them, but I don't for anyone else.
I don't know, maybe it's just been too long and It's been a very difficult 13 years. I just got on HRT. It has really helped me.
Most importantly, Thanks be to God!
One day at a time ladies!
Hugs,
Maggie xo
Thanks to God I'm getting through

Hope you are well today!

I have my children late as well, at 39 and at 40 and I haven't realised that I went straight into peri. They are now 6 and 7 and after my younger one was born I just turned into this different person. it took me about 2 years to recover from having my daughter. The only way I can describe it was that me body was out of sync, out of balance and I didn't know why and the doctors were looking at me like I was making things up.... It's hard to put ourselves first especially with young children and my son has ASD, so it's tough sometimes but it's important to find ways of being kind to ourselves. I do feel going through peri makes my experience of parenthood so much different to what It could be and I feel sorry for my kids not knowing the person I used to be with lots of energy, much more happier and upbeat.... I hate peri!
