I'm so fed up .
In the grand scheme of things i'm a pretty lucky woman.. I have two gorgeous girlies.

I hurt so much, endo making me grumpy, implant has stopped working after 10 weeks.
Hysterectomy on the horizon....but i get no sick pay... not sure how i'm gonna do it.

...and i'm soooo broody

I need a hug, then a kick up the arse.

here, hug from me. ((((()))))

you're allowed to be grumpy....a new chapter in your life is beginning and maybe before you're ready for it.

hope you're on the up soon. x

Thankyou chimchar.
People in RL often think you are coping with it, when really you are falling to pieces inside.

Another hug from me!

Perhaps someone can look after your DDs for a day or a few hours, so you can have some time to yourself? Stay in bed, watch TV, go shopping, go for a walk - whatever - and tell the world to f-off!

I guess you're going through a grieving phase. As Chimchar said, you're entering a new chapter in your life and you just need a bit of time to accept it before you can move on.

Try to plan a few activities (a holiday, short break, day out, etc) so that you have something to look forward to.

Incidentally, perhaps try mood essence to help you cope with the day-to-day.

Hope you feel better soon.

Hug first....you deserve it.

No point in saying this will pass...but it will. This is the beginning of a new stage of your life but you have to allow a period of grieving for the old life.
I used a book called Magical Menopause. t had a series of small treats and tricks to use each day. Be kind to yourself.
