Which bit of your personality stays after menopause?

[Fuckthisshittt]

So I’ve been in peri for about 6 years, HRT 1 year.
Generally I’m less hate filled than before and other symptoms mostly gone.

Now have a 20 day cycle, with the odd skipped month. Due on period now ish.

Which me is the real me?
is it the one now who hates my husband and kids and wants to just leave?
or is it the one that bumps along ok ish for the rest of the month?

Which bit of me is the bit that I get to keep after my periods finally fuck off for the last time?

It's the ok-ish one.

You will find that you have a very low tolerance of bullshit though!

Post menopausal for 4 years and I'm getting less and less patient....hmmm

Post menopausal me is the real me. All the fear has gone.

There must be genuine reasons you feel that you hate your husband. Just because you happen to be in peri doesn’t mean your feelings are not valid. Years and years of resentment might have lead to this and now your soft, nurturing oestrogen levels are diminishing you can no longer put up with it. And why should you?

It will still be the same you but you'll be more cynical, less inclined to people-please, more inclined to speak your mind than bite your lip and with zero tolerance of bullshitters and time wasters. That's my experience at least!
