THE MIDLIFE FRIENDSHIP RANT

WELCOME TO MIDLIFE MEMOS
THE SWAMP GODDESS GUIDE TO MENOPAUSAL MAYHEM
AND AGING ANGST
BLOG #20 by Wendy Kyman, Ph.D.


Is it me? Am I the only one who is often confused, frequently amazed and increasingly
annoyed at most things my friends say and do?

Is it me? Have I been doing something that turns the women I thought were friends
into shrieking, nagging, whining, self centered shrews?

Is it me? Were my friends like this all along and it's just now I am noticing what
I previously ignored?

Is it me? If I  met these women today, would I choose them as friends; would they
choose me?

Is it me? Are there others uttering the silent roar - "Help! I am surrounded
by bitches" - oops, I mean friends?

Are you shocked to read these questions?
Actually, they summarize comments from the countless women who have shared their stories
of eroding friendships for my upcoming book Help! I Am Surrounded By Bitches: The Swamp Goddess Guide To Friendship Frenzy Amid Menopausal Mayhem And Aging Angst.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Keep in mind, everything is a bit over the top during menopausal mayhem and
aging angst.

Menopausal Mayhem and Aging Angst

WHO HAS MENOPAUSAL MAYHEM AND AGING ANGST?
                                          WE DO!!!

Most of our lives we contend with one significant milestone at a time.
Now, two milestones -  menopause and midlife - at once.
I label this the double milestone®
Doesn't it seem like a really bad cosmic joke?

Midlife Memos is an online guide that chronicles our journey through
the murky waters of menopausal mayhem and aging angst.
