Dare to be different and learn to be lonely

Thanks for commenting, I apologize in advance if the response below is TMI;) *hugs*

I wouldn't be surprised nor sad if it was menopause, it would just be nice to know for sure;) My period-experience is very different from my mom's and since she had a histerectomy she kind of skipped menopause. I think her mother had the same amount of monthly suffering as I do, but we never discussed it and I have no reference in the rest of my family.
I don't expect any issues of me feeling any 'less of a woman' as they say (whatever they mean by that, I always cringe when I hear that expression) As far as the symptoms go: a lot of those already come with my period (hot flashes even) so I think I too will feel mostly liberated if that's over.
