Ever feel like...

13 years ago

Anyone else out there sometimes feel like no one understands

what you're going through? Ever feel unloved, unappreciated, guilty and misunderstood? That's how I feel tonight. Menopause sure doesn't do much for self-confidence, does it?

Nobody prepared me for it being this bad...

Thanks for listening!

Yes, I have...but only when I was working.....at the PHONE COMPANY. You didn't have to be crazy to work there, but it sure helped if you were. Sue...so glad to be retired and away from the craziness of the workday

OH yeah! We have one neighbor that is driving me nuts. We have not seen him in a month or two and I am so glad! LOL! We stated we were getting a well, he stated we needed to do a rain water catch system, he even walked through the house and stated things HE thought needed to be changed. Drove me nuts! He told DH he stops by everyday to check on the house. DH told him that was very kind but really not necessary. LOL! At first I thought he was just trying to be nice but it got to be to overwhelming and he started to knock our builder. He had his friend who is a custom builder stop by and take a look in case we wanted another builders thoughts on things! WHAT!? I finally had to tell him we were very happy with our builder and that further advice was not needed. We had made our decisions on wells, septics etc. I think that is why we have not seen him in awhile. But yes, I have had a number of people ask me why there as not been any work done in the last few days, etc. Our builder told us he uses certain crews that he trusts and has used for years. So far they have all been worth the wait....except for the electrician!!! I have serious issues with that guy! LOL! Anyway, now when people give me advice I do not ask for I just smile and say thank you very much but we have it covered! Good luck with your build!

LOL I haven't done that one. But I practically always will turn on a light switch when the power is off. Once I was at my mothers and her uncle and aunt were coming. We had a power outage, he had health problems, and I wanted the house to be nice and warm for them. So....I lined the back of the fireplace with aluminum foil to reflect the heat. It took me quite a while to do the job, got done and then took us a while to find the fan (to blow the heat out into the room) and then went to plug the fan in when it hit.....DUH....there IS no power. We about laughed ourselves silly. I probably spent 30 minutes on that project. LOL

"Self-taught. I got tired of waiting for DH to do projects and just started trying it on my own. I remember the first project we did 18 years ago- painted a spare bedroom. This year I painted the entire outside of my 3-story house (mostly by myself). Just do it. You will amaze yourself with what you can accomplish." Made me smile.

I feel useless, ugly - I get dressed away from the mirror until completely dressed, and even then - I look - and wonder where did the "old me" go. I get so depressed. It's almost like your life really is over.

Yes, I think we all feel that way. No one prepared us for this. It is due to hormones being depleated and I for one am going to a Naturopath and perhaps a Acupuncturist. Also Ladies you must exercise and tell yourself this too shall pass. Try to stay as positive as possible. If necessary get on Anti-Depressants. They're are some good ones just get on a low dose. Try Zoloft.
