What a read. You had me on the edge of my seat here Nastasya! I'm so sorry you had to go through that though. I also didn't have rage. I just cried all the time. Not great either but for different reasons. All I can say now, in my 6th decade, is that there is life on the other side. And I applaud you for blogging about something so significant for all women that until recently, was hardly talked about. Thank you x
Thanks so much, Deborah. I really appreciate your positivity. I'm hoping it was just a one-off incident. I didn't recognise myself. Meditating seems to help. I was nervous about sharing the piece but, like you say, we're now talking about it more. Thank you. Xx
I feel very fortunate that this was not one of my symptoms when I went through the menopause or, if it was, I repressed it, and perhaps it is all still yet to come!!

Wow--you really do always seem so calm! I guess the amygdala DOES have a lot to answer for (and the patriarchy does too...)
Definitely! Meditating really helps me. Thankfully, there hasn’t been any more anger incidents. X

Hopefully not. It’s awful. I feel like the Incredible Hulk!
