Magic Menopause

Menopause so far;

• HRT doing really well, forgotten to take a male pill (Progesterone) a couple of times, but as I have to take it on before bed on an empty stomach, my eating habits have hugely improved with a 9pm curfew. Snacks are sad and are left uneaten, until breakfast. Girl Gel is put on after the morning shower, or 3pm shower on a self care day - which is something I am becoming expert at.

• I feel so much peace, love and wholesomeness. The strength I feel is fondly familiar. I feel very spiritual.

• I am hot.

• (I will continue to use glug instead of the f word). I used to think I didn’t really give many glugs about things that you shouldn’t really give a glug about but no. I gave way more glugs than I thought and it made me feel stressed and exhausted way more than I realised. Not now. My energy is too precious. I have the most intense feeling protecting it, and enjoying it - beautifully powerful in the most elegant, magical way. So no, I will not want to waste even a teeny bit of my lovely energy. I generally have no glugs to give. I don’t give a glug. I feel at peace and the World is overwhelmingly magical.

• I have put on weight, which I would rather I had not, but that is probably as emotional I will feel towards it. Apart from inconveniently not having many clothes that fit me, or feeling a bit bluh in the mirror, my feet are comfy and I am wearing clothes that make me feel comfy so I don’t really give a glug.

• Must do exercise. I am no longer ‘in recovery’ and but I am very comfortable chilling on my sofa binge watching tv.

• I am seeing so much beauty in people I had not seen it in before. This is lovely.
