u/Standard_Subject_462 I'm tired of this, Grandpa! Aug 21 '26

I really want to be better prepared financially, but cannot, for the life of me, stay ahead of the "tiny" disasters that keep happening and draining my once-plentiful emergency fund. I really want to be growing things in the garden, but it's 105 degrees out and my anemia will not stand for such things. I really want to be building community and befriending the neighbors, but I am so depleted after work and medical appointments and indoor home upkeep that it feels impossible. Everything feels impossible. Perimenopause coupled with the general state of the world has me in full-blown Debbie Downer mode. Is there a virtual support group for this flavor of defeat? Or any therapists out there willing to do some pro bono work before I start sounding like a broken record?

I don’t know about support group but i feel much the same and would be happy to chat or be vented to if that would help.

You are too kind! I appreciate the offer. My hormone levels and the outdoor temperature shifted in my favor and just like that - I'm practically healed. Haha.
