This is so true! But apparently the divorce rate is much higher for girls in that age range than at other times. It's a good thing that guys seem to be more patient than us girls

With regards to HRT, it seems to prolong the time frame in which you experience those symptoms. It's more of a bandaid & not really a cure.

Unfortunately with that condition, time is literally the only cure. Freaking hell going through it but one day she will snap out of it when the time comes & we'll all have a laugh about. Doesn't stop me from having homicidal thoughts during this time frame though

(Obviously not going to follow through with it; not a psychopath)

I must confess that I'm not as scornful of band aids, but then I have spent my life dealing with an incurable condition; it must be much more difficult for you because 'normal' people do think in terms of cures, whereas I tend to think about improving my quality of life and, of course, staying alive. I celebrate my birthdays with considerable enthusiasm; I always play 'Stayin' Alive' at full volume, but I would like to assure you that this is my only resemblance to Moriarty! 

It's obviously very hard for you, and great that you can let off steam here; I do think that a good rant has much to be said for it. Just keep watching Sherlock, and refrain from emulating Dr John Watson when welcoming his dearest friend back from the dead

Thanks guys,

Appologies for hijacking this forum & going into medical debates completely unrelated to Sherlock. Mods: feel free to move this thread to The Diogenes Club if it's more appropriate there. Really glad that this forum has a large number of female fans & I sound less of an idiot that way. Doesn't excuse my hijacking so very sorry for that.

On the upside I now feel ten times better & I didn't even have to pay to see a psychologist. You guys are the best.

Willow: I'm sorry for making comments that are insensitive. I do realise there are worse things to be had health wise - I just wasn't thinking straight

Please don't worry;  I really do understand that you are going through a very tough patch and I'm glad that you're feeling better now. 
  It's all good!

Well, John is a medical doctor, not a psychatrist or psychologist. They are there to give the patient the mental tools they need to work through their issues. 

Edit: Noticed just now that this was an old thread and that it was revived with a different question. Sorry!
