I have two respectful questions. Is the meno subbredit gone for good? It's not turning up in searches on reddit. Has the board and community moved here permanently?

What you said is so true! I have been trying to teach myself not to be hard on myself. The world will be hard on me at times; I need to be caring and guiding to myself. That tends to help. I really understand and relate to the feeling of frustration because someone is waiting on what we're supposed to remember. When I'm in that position, I end up saying I can't remember pretty quickly while my inner thoughts are about everything except the Thing I'm trying to remember lol.

I'm doing okay (fingers crossed and hoping I'm not jinxing myself lol) but this is the little calm before the cosmically horrific emotional storm that usually drops on me at various times. I have been freezing the last few days and that's so unlike me. Usually I'm randomly burning up and I need to sit in front of the fan for a bit to get back to warm. This new freezing feeling is not welcome. I want happy medium! The brain fog has been awful this past week though. I try not to be hard on myself over it and I'm learning to show myself grace. But when you really need to pluck something from your memory concerning a task you were going to do, and the only thing that comes up is fog and a "hello, this is brain fog here to sabotage your memory retrieval. Have a random thought about your age right now!" It's rough lol.

Reddit refuge here as well and very glad for this space too. It took me a couple days to work through getting set up here now its going decently and I'm so excited to be here with everyone else!
