I am glad the grow bag suggestion works for you, and I am sorry to hear how you have been suffering. My menopause coincided with being widowed so although I spent hours howling I don't really know how much of it was hormonal and how much was just sheer misery. Like Maureen I did a lot of my crying in the car, on the way home from work.<br /><br />Misery of any kind is awful, and it took me a long while to dig myself out of my personal hole. Hopefully yours is shallower and you are obviously finding new things to occupy you which can only be good.

I will miss not having the space to grow cucumbers, courgettes and, especially, butternut squash but compromises have to be made where space is an issue.<br /><br />Fhina - You don't sound patronising, sweetie. This hormonal upset has taken me by surprise because - of course - I thought I wouldn't have it as bad as everyone says. Ha ha. I've never had much in the way of PMS so I thought this end of it all would be easy. I certainly wasn't expecting the depression and emotional instability. I can definitely recognise it for what it is when it's happening but it's very hard to get out of the negative thought spiral. Very hard. I can easily see why people self-medicate. If (more likely, when) it gets bad again, I shall try to remember how well Skyrim worked as distraction therapy this month. This is all very tiring though and makes me feel, well, not me.Mrs Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289121990808465890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528663482752743529.post-21031824309575850822012-04-14T21:04:22.474+01:002012-04-14T21:04:22.474+01:00Glad you feel more like you, Mrs Jones...

Your last post was troubling to read, but getting it all out into the open is the key, I feel...<br /><br />We (British) do much holding it all back and putting on a stiff upper lip (still).<br /><br />When my Dad died six years ago, I cried everywhere, from supermarkets to the office, from the car where I could scream out loud and not be heard, to the shower, where the water(much like your towel) muffled the animal-like cries.<br /><br />Take good care of you, and I'm very proud that you're finding things to do that will help with distracting the mind from our negative thoughts cycle. Well done you!
