I have a post menopausal female issue. Doctor appointment on 9/7. I am now seeing it has impacted my quality of life severely. I feel husband thinks it is an excuse or just me being a problem or just disrespectful. My self talk horrible  negative. Thus condition in itself can cause depression. anxiety. I just need a lot of self care.

congratulations on the insight. we don't get to change our spouses, but sorting and managing our own issues is both possible and relieving.

steadying support while you find your balance.
the only thing harder than finding a balance is keeping a balance.

There is a lot of help nowadays for female post menopausal issues. Estrogen cream or pills depending on the problem. Other things, too. Sometimes our wisdom grows if we only will listen to our bodies. Sometimes we figure out the man needs to refine his technique and go slower, more focused on the woman. Good for you for making this doctors appointment and be willing to seek medical help.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
