Coral,
You know, I wonder about the relationship between depression/panic/menopause. I don't think menopause is causing depression (because I've been that way since my teens) but I DO wonder if it is worsening it.Yes, L is a great guy. I don't know that he is all that comfortable with my flashing, but it does not seem to bother him terribly. Maybe I should show up with a towel!! lololol! That would be so cool, because the team leader of my temp job is like mid-30's and probably has no idea of what is happening!!
So, there I am reading essays. I'm moved by statements like "Have you ever experienced death? Did that experience change your life?" (this is not about a near-death experience.) Or, "John Doe's life took a 360 degree turn." Or, "In prison you cannot entertain much."
The room alternates between cold and freezing, so I have a sweater with me. Then, a hot flash. So, I'm peeling on and off my sweater constantly, and hit L every time with a sleeve (we're in little chairs) and I say 'Excuse me' and he says 'No way.'
oh, well, I digress. I'm glad things are on the upside for you, and that you're getting through.
xoxo

> Boy, can I relate! The depression w/anxiety pushed me into early menopause (early 40's). I was the proverbial tennis ball between panic attacks and hot flashes.

> A friend's mother was going through menopause and experienced a hot flash while they were shopping. The mother pulled a TOWEL from her very large purse and began wiping herself off. Her daughter said, "Mom, you carry a towel with you?" Her mother smiled and said, "Just keep living, honey." What a great phrase!

> You mentioned measuring your Klonopin dosages very carefully and I know why. However, one thing I've discovered (--- due to the depression, due to age---who knows?) is that I am far more sensitive to meds now. A little goes a lot farther than before. Maybe it's the same w/you?
