Well ... I do love a Very Special Package!! Thank you in advance!!! <3
My pompadour needs pomping AND adouring! I have an appointment with a new stylist next week to appropriately deal with the roots and the parts that lifted WAY too warm with the last new stylist. I think I'm going for more pomped mohawk this time around.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

So, bi-polar depression is a Thing. And it ain't good. Empty nesting has hit me way harder than I anticipated. So many feels. Like, all the feels. And them more feels. And then new feels and old feels and what the fuck feels. I am overwhelmed and sad. Work has been okay. Mostly a lot of faking it until making it. My sleep and eating are completely disordered, executive function is either on overwhelmed or it's on complete shutdown which leads to a nasty shame and self-hatred cycle. I'm starting to negative self-talk out loud in front of my kids.
I need a good, long, ugly cry. But I'm afraid to have one because what if it doesn't stop? I need a new therapist and possibly new or additional drugs. But those are now tricky to figure out with the new blood pressure meds and if they are recommended for people with a history of strokes. And I'm sure peri-menopause isn't helping.

Oh, darling. I know those feels. The last couple of years have been too much, and the person you were keeping your shit together for is off to have their own adventures. It's hard.
Who there could you go to and say "I need to lose it for a while, can you pet my hair/bring me chocolate/watch cat videos with me?"
Perimenopause is a bitch and a half: you might need to do some medication juggling, but if your PCP is decent, absolutely go to them and tell them what's happening.
All the love to you, babe. I promise it will get easier.
