My Story Alvin's 8th: I'm the Bad Guy
#150: October 09, 2024, 06:48:08 PM
On https://www.reddit.com/r/Menopause/ you see so many women after 0 to 2 hours of sleep for months or years desperately talking about blowing their lives up, how they feel like completely different people, having no patience for what they used to soar above. I as a middle-age woman also have had struggles, but am thankfully not in that sort of shape. (Finances and luck play a big part, I am sure.)

Just want to add some data points to the hormonal changes question. For men this may be even harder to identify and measure, because men are taught to stuff down pain and not examine their feelings.

A "friend" will not "stand by you" no matter what you do. That is NOT a friend. That is an enabler. That is an accomplice.
A REAL friend will sit you down and tell you to your face to stop being a firetrucking idiot before you ruin your life and the lives of those around you.
