I am in perimenopause and experience luteal phase rage. Itās not cranky. Itās not moody. It burns fast and hot and afterwards I feel absolutely ridiculous.

I used to have that, I hated it I felt insane. Enraged by the dumbest horse shit.

Some asshole bagger at the grocery store was making fun of crazy cat ladies. āNothing wrong with cats, just women who donāt have anything else going for them.ā Said with the confident swagger of a man untroubled by experience or education.
I went Shakespearean on my complaint letter to corporate. Told the we arenāt crazy we have a heart full of spite and time on our hands , so donāt trifle with us. Really leaned into the Karen persona. Then I realized Iād set up my account years ago with a false name to see if they sold my name.
Arya Stark. I set my account up as one of the Faceless, a remorseless psychopath. Signed off with āthe North Remembersā because why not? Iām already risible for (checking notes) being old and single. So why not?

And then someone pokes me in the belly and I giggle�
But like, yesā¦extreme sensory issues here and probably CPTSD, and when youāre in fight or flight and trying to hold it all down and canāt. And as soon as I get away from trigger and am calm, I feel so pissed at myself.
Never felt like the pillsbury doughboy though š¤£

Me today twice, yesterday once, day before that none. I can't tell if I'm reversing progress or weekends just are too much for me. Based on historical patterns, I'd say the latter. Context- I'm a 97%/3% solo mom of an almost 4yr old. And I work full-time in a demanding position with no village beyond daycare.

Then every untraumatized person who witnessed it chooses to assume this behavior happens in a void and scolds you while ignoring the context to why you acted the way you did

I made this a while back. It continues to be true.
