#gettingold

I’m going to be 26 years old in two months and I’ve known since last September I will never be able to have children ever. I’m going to grow up without have children but I will have a dog so I guess that’s great #Depression #Menopausal

A Merry Little Christmas

#BipolarDisorder #Christmas #gettingold #AgingParent

It seems to be that Christmas 🎄 is special more than ever this year. My Dad is getting older as he has not been very well this year... and his process of getting on Medicaid has not been good. He ran out of medicare a while ago because of how long he has been in the Rehabilitation Center getting both physical care and medical care.

This has not been easy for him... Nor has it been easy for us kids (my brother and I.) I have been overly stressed out and do not want to be involved anymore in the application process for Dad getting medicaid.

But, my brother cannot see past his anger over not being involved from the beginning of the year when I was doing things by myself, including legal documents. I did not know that my brother and father were not sharing information with one another. I just thought my brother was too busy to help and as a result I feel like I'm half responsible.

I don't know what to do anymore to try to keep the peace between my brother and his view of our father. I know it isn't my personal reasonablity, but I do feel like I have had some type of impact in this because my husband has been helping me a lot. Especially since my dad asked my brother to be on durable power of attorney to assist me, instead of my brother being on the document!

I have been physically sick, and emotionally sick. I know my parents are divorced and there is no one else available to help us. So I say please send any tidbits of advice on how to handle my emotional state and get some ideas to decompress from a literally sick feeling on a daily basis.

getting old and beauty


#women
I am reaching 40's and feel less attractive, I have always given importance to what my husband likes and dislikes about my get up. I am a house wife, I feel like my husband is more attractive being a man age is not a problem for him. Changing hair style or facial hair or some clothing is enough and he is attractive again. But I look old with sagging breasts, loose skin and body out of shape. I feel like my dresses don't suit me anymore, colors don't look good on me, my skin is not perfect but putting on concealer or foundation seems over make up. I want to look and feel beautiful. I want to be attractive for my husband. Why do I crave for his attention? Sometimes for physical love as well. Why only I need him? #gettingold #lessattractive #women #menopause
