Ladies, Has This Happened to You?

Maybe back in the day it was PMS or the mood swings from pregnancy. By menopause it can be anything at all. After menopause it can be losing a best friend, fearing losing your marbles, even losing anything at all...my keys are where??? And I'll be late and lose my job and we'll be homeless and...

And you have a male partner...or a female partner with a bit of testosterone. There you are crying your eyes out and your partner is trying. Honest they are...to hold you and offer tissues but you can sense they are really very uncomfortable. Testosterone says " I can solve this".

Testosterone says I will fight and hurt whatever is making you cry. But it's not working obviously. Tonight with Callie I got emotional about Levon's death. He followed me into the hall and I got down and sobbed into his back. He was shaking, trembling...only explanation is " Mommy I will protect you from anything, but holy crap I do not know what to doooo" .

This is a little to intense for me. I do not know all the facts or the background. Hope everything works out.

It's okay Maggie, I was just comparing my poor pup Callie to the average human male. He is devoted to me. His face scares many folks across the street. But his Mommy is crying and he is lost at what he should do. No imminent danger and the perimeters are clear. But why is Mommy making my back wet? Tell me who to hurt and I will get them. Why are you still making my back wet?

Sorry you're having a bad day. (I have them too occasionally) Sometimes we just have too much going on and we become overwhelmed. Crying is just giving in to it. Hope tomorrow is a better day!

We get through the bad days as best we can while hoping for a brighter tomorrow. Take care Fur, it will get better.

Huge hugs fur. Sometimes intense is good. Gets it out. Hang in there. Levon waits at the rainbow bridge until you come. Then you will be together forever.

Thank you everybody...I just have to put down the to do list sometimes...

Leslie, it hurts bad when we lose a family member, crying is a good way to let it out I believe. When I lost my Lenny bird I was beside myself.
