Hormonal Time Clock Jitters
Here’s an observation for you.
One of the bummers about menopause, and there are many, is that I have lost my hormonal time clock. It used to be that I could count on at least ONE time a month when I could blame my hormones for everything that was wrong. I proclaimed myself a Bitch on Wheels, as a way to seek forgiveness from my co-workers and family. I used to be able to point to my bloated belly and still eat, blaming that on PMS. Breakouts? Period. Sweating? Period. Dropping things everywhere? Period. Forgetfulness? Period. You get the idea. Well, now what? What the hell am I supposed to do now? Blame it on myself?? I think not! I sometimes still feel that bloated PMS thing, I still feel bitchy, and I am still dropping, stuff everywhere…but I can’t use that same excuse anymore.
That really sucks.
Now I guess I will just blame it all on my husband. Sorry Honey!!

Hormones are like old age ......the exuces to say what you want , fart in public ( and get aways with it ) and look at people like THEY are crazy ....... I embrace my hormonal output ( 0 ;

I have an even worse problem. I never really had PMS. But then I got menopause and 40 years of PMS build-up exploded on me all at once. Its horrible! I gave up on making excuses. They all just move away from me when I come home... Its like: "Step away from the crazy lady..."
