Re: Vent thread

I'm currently dealing with menopause. And it is so freaking frustrating. The hot flashes. The weird hormones. The irritability. The sleeplessness. But honestly the part that is irritating me the most is the fact that I'm peeing all the time. Sometimes every five minutes. I'm so tired from not sleeping last night, but I couldn't take a nap today because I was getting up every five minutes to pee.

I've started hormone therapy, but honestly it doesn't seem to be doing much so far. Only been on it a couple weeks, I know it has to build up. But I'm just so frustrated.

Menopause has been hell. The worst 5 years of my life, hands down. I can't access hormone therapy so I'm just hoping there's an end in sight.

Sorry you are dealing with it too. I honestly didn't think it would be this bad since I had a hysterectomy a number of years ago and only have ovaries left. I wasn't expecting it to be this bad.

The urinary issues are real. It helps to work on pelvic floor exercises, even just occasionally.

On the plus side, my lifelong battle with acne has almost disappeared here near the end.

I think I'm in perimenopause.

OMG I get the peeing thing sometimes! I don't know why, and it's SO annoying. But there are times where I'm the same as you and it feels as though literally I can't go more than 15 minutes without peeing. And I'm like, I didn't even drink this much! Where did this all come from???

AYRT

I honestly don't know, hormones seem to be the only explanation. Because sometimes, like today, it is just about every 5 minutes for 2-4 hours or so and then I'm back to my normal if still excessive amount. And it always seems to come at exactly the time when I really need to sleep too.

Just chiming in to agree that it sucks! My main symptom is RAGE.

Oh man, this is mine too. I've always been so good at hiding my emotions, even to super unhealthy levels. And now I'm struggling. I nearly snapped at a judge a couple weeks ago, I really had to work hard to stop myself. He deserved it, but it wouldn't have helped.

I've always had fairly low levels of emotions in general, so this is throwing me for a loop.

I hear you. I realized (when the irregular periods and hot flashes started) that I must've been in peri for a couple years now, because the rage is something else. My (male) partner and father infuriate me now. It's not that their behaviour has drastically changed for the worse. It's the same old same old slightly sexist gender role BS from men who make messes they don't clean up, act like the housekeeping fairy does all the tidying up right after the dinner fairy leaves, stuff like that. The same men who think their own opinions are THE most important thing in the universe but nobody else is worth listening to but it's not their fault that they just don't happen to hear anything I said and I'm giving them a hard time for nothing blah blah blah.

Tiresome at best, but now? I have an incredibly short fuse and NO patience for this shit. Both of them have been on the receiving end of some absolutely blistering home truths about how they act and what that says about them, and they're completely befuddled and defensive because hey, it was fine for decades so why am I rocking the boat now? Can't the doctor give me some magic hormone pills and fix me?

They will both be lucky if they don't end up in the woodchipper, so help me god.

I'm not sure if I'm lucky in this regard. I've had rage all my life thanks to CPTSD so at this point I can't even tell the difference.

Re: Vent thread

I hear you. It doesn't always happen to me, but the other night I was peeing every half hour from 11pm to 4:30am. Absolutely brutal on my sleep cycle, and I'm already tired all the time.

Also having mini hot flashes. They're not crazy bad, but maybe a dozen times a day I experience 10-15 minutes of light sweating and feeling like I'm standing under a heat lamp. Plus headaches.
