Menopause

Menopause, the most uncomfortable period, I feel today. And my family never knows this. Do I need to explain to them how difficult is it? And why do I feel this way? Why am I experiencing a lot of discomforts because of this?
Hot flashes, head aches, a bloody menstruation, boredom, nervousness are such of so many disturbances I felt and I tried to overcome the feeling and I hope that I can surpass this without other side effects. Menopause at the age of 47, somehow familiar to me and I know that it’s a part of a woman’s life.
Why do I need to feel this way? Why do some of my friends, pass this feeling without experiencing the way I feel? Is it my resistance or the people that I go with that affected me so much of my menopausal? I admit, I’d been hospitalized twice of this and as always I was almost near death. Thank God I’m still alive! And I thank God that, I’ve seen some other woman who had experienced menopause when I was still a little girl. I even know a mother of my classmate during my elementary days that she really lost her mind because of her menopause. May be it happened to her because she don’t know the signs and there’s no one to talk to. I have to be strong. I need to control my feeling to overcome this stage. I hope someday, that everything I feel today will just be a very interesting story for my two daughters. But I pray that they will pass through this lighter than mine. I pray that this feeling will not last long. I want to visit my obstetrician, because I know she will help me a lot. But on the other side, I still need to learn how to cope myself to conquer this stage.
