I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Heh, I started getting those when I was barely legal to drink.

Speaking of aging...

I cannot sleep through the night without some really crappy too-hot-to-continue moment. Is it possible that I am having hotflashes but only at night? Doesn't happen during the day. (yet).

In other news, yesterday was the last coumadin day!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yay to the last of coumadin, Kat! I don't have a clue about the hot flashes, though.

a "fidget piece," which for the last 30 years has been a spoon-shaped piece of wood about 1" x 2" originally intended to be a keychain fob. It helps me deal with anxiety and nervous energy.

Yes, this, exactly.

Happy to hear no stroke, tommy. And a funny doctor is rare and must be kept. Unless he screws up otherwise. (I love that poem, -t!)

I'm glad the guy found you, ita. It sounds like a very good working arrangement for both of you. Plus, a little fun and fan stuff.

Suzi--that's really good effort on CJ's behalf, I'm glad the Adderall is helping. It's so hard to feel you never make any progress, no matter how hard you try.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Kat, I don't know, but I have it too.

Because books.

Sadly, that's a yes, Kat.

Hmmm... interesting. It sort of blows, but is perhaps better than hotflashes.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Y'all I have been so angry for like the last month. Like every little thing can set me off. I am so frustrated with everything and everyone and only goes away for a few hours or a day or two at most. I'm thinking hormones, but I can't get to dr for at least 2 weeks. I am off ads and used my last bc pills last week.

Thoughts?

Is there some way you can blow off steam that you enjoy? Maybe some kind of exercise? Something to sort of physically work the bad stuff out?

Hmmm... interesting. It sort of blows, but is perhaps better than hotflashes.

I'm still not sure I've ever had an actual hot flash, and I remember a friend from upstate New York who would sit with a spray water bottle and mist herself during writing group when it got bad. I've never had anything like that.

But the night sweating comes and goes, and if I get overheated during the day it seems hard to turn it off.
