Hot Mess

I think what I'm experiencing is a cliché....a hormonally induced, spent my life pleasing others, feel like I lost myself along the way, full on, four alarm, I'm running out of time, mid-life crisis. I feel like my life has been an ever expanding circular screw up. (I'd use different words, but don't want to be banned.) And I don't want to be this way anymore. I don't want to hate myself. I want to finally, be...ME, and be o.k. with that person. I really have not much advice to offer others on this site, but I can tell you honestly, that you aren't alone.

Hi Paris48....I am sorry your going through this same emotional 'merry go round', a lot of us here are...it's always a difficult balance for those of us with issues. I wanted to ask if you were pre- or full on menopausal right now and if you were doing any hormone replacement therapy....there is a natural hormone replacement...it worked for me..... and also tell you that your in good company here....a lot of us middle aged....all ages as well...

And as far as swearing...I got slapped on the hand by the 'curse police', and just decided fine, even though I thought it was childish and we are all adults and it shouldn't be an issue...I'll abide the site rule, so it goes....you wouldn't get banned though...just a nod from the 'curse police'.

I just started some hormone therapy, so hopefully that will help. I really appreciate all your posts and responses. I think you help a lot of people on this site.

your very kind....and your right....we heal each other as equally I feel as with all the other things we do to try and get better. It's baby steps for me, a work in progress...and when I hear it helps someone else...thats another positive reinforcement to help my 'Inner kid' know shes doin okay.
