wish

12 years ago

After reading everyones posts I wish we could all get together for a weekend of talk and relaxing. Seems like we all need it. At least we would all be able to relate to each other in one way or another. I am 42 and believed to be going through perimenopause. My whole life I have suffered from PMDD and I have been on a maintenance drug to help. If I didn't have that I'm not sure if I'd be here. Lately the meds don't seem to have enough oomph to counter the emotional rollercoaster. I also am only "myself" for maybe 2 weeks. Sure is tiring. I'm sure it is for my hubby also. He says he understands but I still need to remind him why I am acting certain ways when I do. My thoughts are all over the place. All 3 of my children are grown and live out of the house. So I wasn't quite sure if I am having empty nest syndrome or a mid-life crisis or just monthly hormonal craziness. Could it be a combo? Yipes ! Yes I have my own bedroom now and lately I have been daydreaming of taking a personal vacation somewhere far away with thoughts of not returning. Thoughts of "this is it in life" keep my head spinning wondering if I am indeed done. Glad to know there are a heck of a lot of other women out there with the same situation and not afraid to post the truth. Whew. Feel a little better just writing this down. Thanks for reading. ~Tina

sounds great but it would probably turn out to be a long week end of more health talk. You would have to sign a pact, no health discussions. LOL Sometimes I have to get away from forums like this and I feel better when I do. Not necessarily this one but the step family, marriage and care givers forum was really hard on me when I was in their situation. I did stop posting and reading there for a long time.

I use all natural yam based progesterone cream, pregnenolone and Lady's mantle tea to balance my hormone daily. I take organic dried Lady's mantle and brew my own tea, chill it, drinking two 6ounce cups a day, very tasty.

Also, Oatstraw tea is a good one to calm your mind.
Start using pregnenolone from a low dose, 10 to 15mg a day. A maxium of 15mg daily is enough to take me out of blues.

Now I look younger and feel much happier.

Thanks for the kind words. :o) Jan, The bear is one of my favorites and was an end-of-the-year gift from a student 15 years ago. He is concrete and soooo heavy. I drag him into the garage every winter...oh my back! LOL

What do you wish or not wish that you did with your pool build?

I would not do plaster again. It was so mottled, plus it cracked, that I tore it out after 2 yrs. I have brand new 1 day old pebble sheen and so far, I LOVE it. I would not use a busy mosaic tile. I replaced mine with simple pool blue midcentury square tiles. I would not rush the design as stated above. I had a highly qualified landscape architect help me with the remodel and it looks fabulous (I think). I lengthened my pool to a 60 ft. long lap pool. I am glad that I paid the extra $ for this.

he was driving after a week..I thought this was foolish but he said “I’m fine”..after 30 therapy sessions he told the Dr “I don’t need any more therapy”..the Dr agreed..he seemed normal to me in 3? 4? weeks..I had 49 therapy sessions and have half of his range of motion..I thought “I can exercise on my own and continue to heal and if need be will go back to therapy”..my Dr said he was fine with that.. if your sister had rotator cuff surgery I’ve heard that’s more painful than a replacement.. you’re active you’ll do well.. I’m not as slim as you..definitely not as thin as I used to be!..and since my fall..recovering in a recliner while my husband served me food and drinks didn’t help 😂..

I have a not-very-big house, and I have at least 4 chairs that are questionable for sitting but look pretty. I have been doing a bit of a purge this week (cooler temps = nesting?) and decided to put one chair, which was just taking up space and looking cute but definitely not "sittable," out on the curb. Then I backtracked and put it in the garage, because it will look cute at our beach house? But still, no one can sit on it because I think it would break so what is wrong with me? I may put it back on the curb. I too need a house that's big enough to store all the pretty chairs that no one can sit on. I also have a very cute old bench that I picked up for free, intending to recover the seat...it's been sitting in my home office for months, not recovered, not even admired because I had stuff piled on it. Earlier today I literally walked around my house with it and realized it doesn't fit anywhere. But it's cute. Maybe I can hang it from the ceiling.
