What Happens After Menopause? More Bullshit

Where’s the manual on aging?

I’m gonna share a little secret with you — I thought life consisted of these stages:

• you’re born
• then you’re a teenager
• then you’re an adult for a lot of years
• then menopause hits
• and then once that is over, you just live out your days until you die

Honest to God. I thought it happened just like that. I was a little pissed to find out there’s more to it than that. I mean, like after menopause. There’s more menopause.

What the hell?

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t prepared for any of this BS.

And here’s something funny — I didn’t even know “this” was post menopause until someone in a Reddit thread told me to get my hormones checked!

No clue.

No one told me. My friends didn’t warn me, sisters, mom, family, nudda. I started feeling weird, not myself, I was changing mentally, and it was scaring me.

A total stranger on the internet told me I was going through postmenopause. What a wonderful time to be alive.
