How well did you relate to others during the menopause and in daily life in general?

[whatisforteamum]

I know some of my issues are age related in that my team of colleagues changed over 18 months ago so I am currently several decades older and the only female.
That aside I am the only one in my dept that is married and has had kids.I do keep up with the internet,music and current trends although I am not mutton dressed as lamb either.My job makes it difficult to make any friends my own age.Even then I doubt many people have lived on a low income like myself or worked long hours which has possibly made me hard faced straight talking person.
I am very caring too though.I wondered if anyone else finds it hard to relate to others or even if the menopause in general !makes women reassess their lives?
I am so humbled when anyone says something kind of positive to me and I find sites like this and TV some where I can relate to others at my life stage.several
I can't help thinking it must be lovely to be understood or relate to other people.

Well I’m 52 and have been menopausal for a few years now. Yes it does affect my moods and has perhaps made me less tolerant of nonsense. I also work with much younger women and I get a bit frustrated that they struggle to relate to my stage of life, I can however relate to theirs because I’ve been there in the past.
We all get along fine but I think they often don’t “get” me.
It’s a funny old stage, I sometimes feel like I’m in no mans land 🤔

Yes no man's land is right😂.Very odd at times like living in a parallel universe.
