Why does nobody tell women what an absolute bitch perimenopause can be? I feel like nobody told me anything about it, save for hot flashes. I also feel that doctors don't know enough about it as well. I basically had to diagnose myself.

Like, seriously, women should be educated about their own bodies.

So if you're on the other side of 45 and suddenly everything is twice as difficult, you get more migraines, your blood pressure goes funny, you can't sleep and you feel like your entire psyche is unstable, you might be experiencing perimenopause. My gyn was like,oh, like think of it like reverse puberty, your entire body rearranges itself. I was like, Great, nobody ever told me it can be this bad. My GP didn't even ask me about my period or hormone levels or anything. He just told me I was probably depressed and sent me to a psychiatrist, who also didn't ask about my period or my hormones. If I hadn't experienced something akin to postpartum depression and therefore know what my body does when its hormones are out of whack, I would have had no idea.

Seriously, nobody tells you how much hormones fuck you up as a woman. Nobody prepares you for this.

I've been trying to talk openly about what's fucking me up right now, and I've discovered that it's a lot more common than I thought it was. I feel like every phase of life finds another way to fuck women over. Puberty: have fun with your period as it adjusts itself. Childbirth: prepare for a hormonal rollercoaster. PMS: oh, it can get BAD. Like, BAD. After birth: hormones out of whack for months, maybe longer. Perimenopause: can fuck up everything. Like literally everything. Osteoporosis is also hormonal. Post menopause: supposedly things get better, but they don't have to.

And I feel like we're left pretty alone dealing with all of it. And we know so little about it that we're left wondering why suddenly nothing works anymore. So we flail about and feel terrible about our sudden inability to cope with life, when it's in fact our bodies screwing with us. Again.

So. Let's talk about it, let's be open to each other and learn from each other. Thank you especially to anyone who shared experiences with me. It helps to feel like you're not alone.

First symptoms can easily hit before 40. Just so you know. Also, there are issues that maybe 1 in 50 doctors even know about, so keep an eye out for literally anything that changes "for no reason".

there desperately needs to be a separate option to report ads for hijacking your touch screen or automatically launching your browser/app store the moment you scroll past it. "malicious" is not a strong enough word. i need the "go fuck yourself and die in a pit of boiling acid x10000" option

see my problem is if i “listen to my body” it literally only wants to lie down and take naps, all the time

[slyandthefamilybook]

why did they start breeding busses to have flat faces. they can't breathe

[slyandthefamilybook]

if you think this

looks better than this

you're part of the problem. I'm so tired of all the excuses like "oh they look cuter!" "why do you care?" THEY CAN'T BREATHE. People intentionally breeding these vehicles to give them health problems because they "like how it looks" makes me so mad

Actually, flat faced buses can breathe fine! This is a case of convergent evolution, but the two types of buses are not genetically related.

Pointed nose buses are decended from trucks, and have their engines located in the front. This requires the larger nose in order to provide the space for the engine as well as adequate ventilation.

Meanwhile, flat nosed buses are actually descended from city buses (which in turn descend from trolleys), and were domesticated due to their greater maneuverability and capacity.

Contrary to popular belief, flat nosed busses typically do not experience breathing problems. Their engines are located in the back of the bus, with a large breathing vent located in the rear.

These buses also have a different structure to accommodate this change, typically including doubled back tires, a different weight distribution, and a change in location of the emergency egress door from the back to the left side.

If only pugs could breathe through their butt too :((

I'm gonna say something incredibly 30-year-old and I'm going to ask you to not judge me while I'm trying to be genuine and real. Okay? Here's my truth.

A piece of lettuce can really elevate a sandwich. The fresh crunch? Unrivaled. Peak. Poetic cinema.

[oflightningandstars]

"actively hungry" + "none of the foods sound good at all" is one of the worst combinations. who let this happen

[positivelyqueer]

You've gotta have good biodiversity in your reasons for not killing yourself. Rotate them out like crops when the yield gets low and the soil poor. We're mixing our metaphors. Whatever helps it stick.

You like warm blankets. You like the sound of birdsong. You have a pet that needs taking care of. You have someone to outlive. You have a loved one. You think death would be boring. It's coming for you anyway. Death is patient. When was the last time you had cake? Your favourite musician is going on tour. Or maybe just a halfway decent band at your local bar. You've never seen an elephant. Isn't it amazing that the sky is blue? Aging is a gift not afforded to most. Don't let the bastard grind you down. You can't mend any suffering in the world with your death. You want to see if you can grow herbs on your windowsill. Killing yourself seems like so much effort. What does tiramisu taste like? You're trying to be curious. You're angry and spiteful. What you want more than to die is to rest. This sandwich is so good you don't want to die. Not so long as there are plums to eat and somebody, anybody who gives enough of a damn to haul them to you. A stranger on the internet is holding their hand out and asking.

You haven't finished that book. It's almost strawberry season. There's a chrysalis on the porch that should open soon. There are pastries you've never tried. It's going to be sunny tomorrow. You're going to look very distinguished with gray hair. You have to outlive him. There aren't any easy ways to die. Your package is supposed to arrive on Friday. There are people who will love you that you haven't met yet.

[thepeacefulgarden]

The new season of your favorite TV show starts in 3 days. You want to spite your abusive ex. You want to prove your asshole dad wrong when he said you'd never amount to anything. A new bakery just opened down the street and they have new cupcakes practically every day. Your dog/cat/cactus needs you. There are so many fruits you haven't tried yet. There's a big project at work or school that needs you. You want to try that FIRE thing the Internet's always going on about. You want to climb Mt. Everest and/or K2 someday. You're going to look (and more importantly, feel) amazing once you transition. You want to have a baby someday. Your sister calls you every week just to say hi and ask how you're doing. You have a nail appointment this Friday. You got a beach pass for the summer, and it'd be a shame to waste it. You've just started a long-distance relationship. You want to see what all the fuss is about regarding Paralives. Your gym buddy is expecting you. Your best friend's wedding is in 3 months. You're going to be an uncle/aunt. You saw a hummingbird at your feeder, and there's more to come over the summer. You have a coupon. You're finally taking that trip to Machu Picchu. You're going back to school this fall. You want to see Bigfoot. You've started feeding a colony of stray cats in your neighborhood. You want to become a grandparent, or at least a grandparent figure, someday. You started a new crochet project. There's a new challenge on TikTok you've been thinking of trying. The midterm elections are coming up. You finally bought a house. Your awful roommate is moving out in six weeks. You've made it to 1 year clean and sober, and that wasn't easy at all. You need to cancel that free trial before you start getting billed. You haven't tried Thai food yet. You don't want to die a virgin. You've got to ask your Meemaw for that secret recipe, while you still can. You've got a DoorDash order coming in 20 minutes. You have 3 books overdue at the library. You rented a beach cottage for a week. You never got to go to Disney World when you were a kid. Your church is having a chili cook-off, and you make a mean chili con carne. Halloween is coming up. You're hoping to catch that giant fish you heard about from your grandpa's friend. Your year-and-a-day study period is almost up, and you'll be eligible to become a priest/priestess. Yard sale season is starting up. You thought you saw a UFO. Your favorite fruit is in season. You got yourself a pen pal. You didn't get to go to your high school prom, but there's an adult prom to benefit the local children's hospital. Your apple tree will start producing soon. You want to run for some local office. Your local Hot Tubs and Beyond is having a liquidation sale, and who knows when or if you'll have another chance to buy a hot tub? You've got a bottle of expensive champagne you've been saving for...well, you know.

You should be able to say “don’t touch me” to anyone ever in any context and not have it be considered in the realm of surprising or insulting imho if we ever needed to normalize something it’s this
