Hi there Carla
what you have been writing the past couple of days sounds very familiar to me. I remember that we are about the same age or exactly the same age, and I don’t know if this is appropriate or not,but here goes. It sounds like hormones are effecting you right now. I would not recognize it if I had been going through it myself. I recently had a total hysterectomy so that threw me into full blown surgical menopause. Now I am taking the vivelle patch which is a miracle worker. You can read about some of this on my blog as well. However, I was experiencing some of what you are describing even before that. It was driving me crazy because I have never been a moody person. After my surgery, my girlfriend came to care for me from Chicago, and when she returned she ended up on the vivelle patch as well, and she has not had any surgery. Menopause is no joke, and I understand why there has been many women to literally lose their minds during this change, because they were thinking like I was at first, that I was just having a bad day or two and it would past.
Good luck, I know how you feel.

Thanks, Jen. It is already softening. Just writing it out helped. I am sending you so much love and soft, illumined light. Looking forward to our journey together beginning tomorrow!

I’ve been thinking a lot about Pema Chodron’s advice to make friends with one’s demons. It never fails to amaze me when you articulate something I’ve already been thinking about in the past day or so. May you become friends with the glare. Me too.
