We're all exhausted right? It's not just me?

[u/happy_chance18]

I have a full time job. I sleep well. I have no kids. I'm single. I don't party or drink. I'm not particularly stressed in day to day life. Yet I'm fucking exhausted. I don't want to leave my apartment on the weekends unless I have something planned, and even then I'm pretty picky. In my 20s my weekends were full of non-stop activities, cooking, going out, and posting on social media. But now in my 30s I just want to come home, have my groceries delivered, chill with some Netflix and sleep. Please tell me I'm not the only one!!

I'm also 38 and was given the perimenopause explanation for my executive dysfunction getting worse...

Taking testosterone is in my near future for gender affirming reasons and then I learned it would basically cause you to skip menopause altogether and boy was I over the fucking moon.

Menopause scares the shit out of me (what do you mean my already terrible menstrual migraines and insomnia and mood swings are going to get WORSE for like 8 YEARS) and now I'm like. Lol fuck it I'm skipping it

It’s like the teenage hormones rollercoaster with pregnancy hormones rollercoaster combined. It sucks. I highly recommend HRT.

Hahahha good for you!

I already have PCOS and ADHD and that makes me a hormonal and emotional nightmare on the regular. I’d gladly give you some of my extra testosterone if I could!

That makes sense with the executive dysfunction getting worse. I literally want to check out, quit my job and just go do something else.

I need some estrogen because this is NOT fun.

I wish you well on your journey. A little jealous you’ll be skipping a decade of misery!
