Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Any woman-identified person under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is welcome.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.

Yesterday my husband and I had dental appointments. We moved last year but wanted to keep our dentist since we both like him so much, but we're much farther away now and it took us about an hour to get there.
When we walked in the receptionist told us we came a day early. 🤦🏻♀️
You guys, when we got back to our car, I just broke down crying. I never used to make mistakes like this - I'm normally so organized and on top of things - but my brain fog has gotten so bad with peri. It's so embarrassing. My hubby comforted me, said it was OK and told me not to be so hard on myself, but I felt really awful about wasting his day off. And I just feel like an idiot all the time.
Shit like this keeps happening. The other day I was microwaving something, only to realize that I forgot to put the food in the stupid microwave. I stood in front of the microwave and watched it run and even though I could see inside, it just didn't register that I hadn't put anything in there. I keep misplacing things or stopping in mid-sentence because my train of thought disappeared. I keep forgetting to finish tasks.
I have a GYN appointment in a few weeks to talk about HRT because I can't go on like this.
I think I just needed to vent, thanks for reading.
That's rough mate. Youve both driven so far, taken so much of the day up and have to do it tomorrow. You're not being you right now, you're always organised and on top and this isn't you. Chronically disorganised people have strategies in place to stop these kind of things, but you've never needed to do that.
Peri is rough, and it's not talked about enough. If women get old enough we go through it but we don't talk about it. It really is hard.
