I love sleeping, I used to put my head on the pillow and was gone within minutes. I snoozed my way through the night, no matter if outside was a thunderstorm, an earthquake (happened to me, I SLEPT!!!) or my alarm going off lol
I miss that!

I love sleeping too. It’s the only time you can truly do whatever you want and dream about whatever you want with no distractions.
But I’ve always been a light sleeper, and I don’t sleep as much as I should. I just have a hard time to relax because I worry about everything and everyone constantly.

Do you ladies dream a lot now that your sober here for the last few weeks I’ve been having really vivid dreams some good some not so good

Yes, my dreams became more clear and I was able to remember them better.
They became very vivid since taking Escitaloprame.
I always dream a lot, no matter of I’m asleep or not 
The difference for me is that I can’t handle nightmares and Flashbacks way better now than when I first started.
But I’ve been here on and of for a while. (Around five years)
14 days after the last bleeding, guess what my body decided to do?
Another bleeding yay 
Including slight pain, but almost not noticeable.
I think it’s an ovulation bleeding 
Perimenopause sucks!

It’s such nonsense. My last period lasted five days proper and then an extra five days just because. I think I’m still in the queue for the Gynaecology department however as they sent me a message asking if I still needed help since my referral almost a year ago. Yep, my reproductive system didn’t disappear just yet…

And bleeding again. Wednesday and yesterday combined with a migraine.
And still no Gynecologist in sight who prescribes me what I need. Not even a sick note because “that’s what all women have to go through since centuries”

I feel you Sabrina… After my weird ten days bleeding last month I’m now 6 days late with this month’s period… Did they consolidate??

What do you mean with did they consolidate?
The last bleeding I had could’ve been a very long ovulation bleeding, the one I have now is my regular one…I think

Sorry I meant because last period was ten days, maybe I won’t get this month’s period? Maybe they were together.

I don’t know. My cycles are between 29 and 46 days long. Symptoms changed over the years. Nowadays I am with diarrhea and cramps on the first day/night. I am lost to connect mental struggles with the cycle. My sugars are surely most affected by the fucking hormones which is the most difficult thing for me to handle. It sends me every fucking time in some self hate cycle. I gave up on looking for a gynecologist here. Not being in private insurance it’s useless to even call them.

Gah. My cycle is between 19 and 38 days for about nearing two years now.
Last month I had a week long period with an extra five days added on the end with just occasionally bleeding but intense emotions and pain. This month I had a fake week long period before my actual period and now my period is just plain weird. Stop start, heavy, then disappears, then heavy. It’s so annoying.
Honestly fed up of this crap.

I HATE being perimenopausal! It’s 7°C outside, it’s cold! But my body decided “Lets BURN that girl”
I could go outside in shirt and shorts and wouldn’t even feel the cold. I’m a walking power plant.

This explains my crazy craves the last couple of days and my ‘meh-ness’. Just got my period. 18 days cycle this time around after a 36 day cycle previously. No warning 
no tenderness, normal kind of, just restlessness. Fuck this. Being sober is hard enough as it is without the extra extra we get on top. Must be nice to be a sober man, not having to deal with hormones on top. 
Women are fucking heroes.

Exactly Right now the hot flashes are the worst for me. It’s cold here, 2C and yesterday we got our first snow.
I can’t wear any winter jacket bc I’m sweating.

What gets me, and I know I keep going on about this, is the aptitude I have for mentally gaslighting myself EVERY SINGLE MONTH that I’m crazy, insane, irrational, losing my mind…
How is that?
