I've been told I'm starting Perimenopause. The hot flashes are unbelievable. I've always been a warm person, wearing less than the normal person even in a blizzard, but this is ridiculous.

I am also an emotional wreck. I have always been a crier. But now, I cried last night when I saw Gabby Douglas win, the rowing team and every time they play the National Anthem. Really? My husband thinks I'm nuts, since his mother has gone her entire life without burdening anyone with anything-literally. "My mother never had that, did that, said that, cooked that" I told him he should go live with his mother, I'd help him pack and drive him. He shut up.
My daughter doesn't seem to notice at all , and my sons are concerned. (Boys are so cool) they told me to go relax and take a bath. I love them. They know what I need.
I am snapping at people for no reason, and I can hear myself, and cannot stop. The doctor has recommended hormone therapy, but I'll tell ya, I've heard of so many more problems with that!!

Hopefully, you and your partner can find a way to live with each other while this is happening. It's rough with just one person, two must be torturous. All my best!
