You are doing fine. You are letting your mind tell you tell you that you are getting tired. I still have moments where I wonder if I will wake up the next day, but I am 73. I used to be a runner, I used to lift weights, I used to be in pretty good shape but over the years I have had two knee replacements, neck fusion of the C 4-C 7, multiple procedures on my back including a TLFT on the L3 -S1. I have a wonderful wife that has helped my physical as well as my mental rehab. You will be alright. I will send some prayers out to you. It also makes me feel better. You go gurl!
Making peace with the changes, thanking this body for all she's brought me through, and apologizing to her for all the negative judgments I've lobbed at her. Looking in the mirror each morning and telling her, "I love you and I will take care of you today, and always." Ah, acceptance brings peace. ❤️
I get it. A lot of factors in hair loss, and it's not vain to think about it. There are so many causes, including just getting older, but check with your doctor, too, and have some labs done, including vitamin D and thyroid hormones. There's always Minoxidil. I'm not sure if those nutraceuticals work, but Nutrafol might help, at least from what my derm says. I've been losing my eyebrows, which looks really weird. Thank goodness for eyebrow pencil. It's tough getting old, but being old makes you tougher!
I seem to write on my iPhone a lot. When I manage. Lately. Not . So. Perhaps today . Anniversary of my mother’s death. I implored her to not go into heavens on my birthday. Was yesterday She listened ! Today au revoir

Sorry you are going theogh that
My husband and I are in our later 50s and every day some new ache or pain
New knees are in my bear future as well. It is a gift growing older get think it will stay the same. There is also grief.

Thanks, Carole. I'm planning on getting blood work done. Hair follicles shrink with menopause, less estrogen unfortunately.
Yes, estrogen decline is definitely a factor. I hope you find something that helps.
Thanks, Carole
Love this, Jane!! 🤍
Thanks!
This might very well be your finest. A woman in transition…. On the other side..
Thanks so much.

So sorry. Anniversaries of loss are never easy and so close to your birthday as well.
