Still August 2011
Menopause does not mean
drama. But, I hear so much from people about how menopause means drama. I don’t
believe that mood swings are a direct result of menopause, but rather reactions
to things life throws at us as a natural course. I can’t see any justification
in blaming reactions to drama as a phase in the chemical changes in a woman’s
body. I view such accusations as an excuse to dismiss an individual’s reactions
to stressful events.
The end of my period is
here. It’s lasted a couple of days longer than any time in the past. I actually
had a big hot flash the day it ended. There was some drama that crept into my
day just before it hit. But my response was so mild that I surprised myself. I
hope this sense of calm remains after menopause is done with me. It’s sweet to
be able to react to things with the focus of keeping grounded and generating
productive results. Nobody is in the background chattering like the sound of
static, telling me I’m hormonal. Sweeeet.
The last two days of my
period seemed like a car with bad brakes. Hot flashes prevailed those last two
days, as though it was the heating up of the brakes, screeching and whining to
a halt. Unfortunately, no amount of servicing this vehicle is worth the
expense. I will let it die out on its own… but damn, make it fast!
