Don’t Poke The Bear

Is it just me or does your partner think it’s amusing to stir you when you are angry? Let me explain…

I have been getting these white rages, not sure if that is the official medical term, but that is how I describe them. I hear it is a symptom of the whole menopause process and definitely not a pleasant one for all involved. I get suddenly angry over the smallest things. Like really angry. To the point I want to punch a wall or throw something across the room.

Grieving My Lost Youth

I never thought I would get old.

The word ‘old’ is such a subjective term and my definition of old and yours probably varies. Certainly my definition of old has changed as the years have crept forward and my numbers have changed (well the official numbers have changed despite me still trying to own being 38)

Why Do The Numbers Bother Me So Much?

I have always hated the numbers associated with aging.

I was fine with 18 and 21 and happily accepted them as a rite of passage.

Into adulthood. It’s the big milestones after those that have been an issue for me. The numbers really bother me!
