Menopause, whats so bad?

You get mood swings, uncontrollable mood swings. And hot flashes. OMG, the hot flashes are horrible. If you've never had one, you won't understand until you do. It's like having a panic attack and all of a sudden you get so hot, you feel like your skin is on fire and you just want to rip off all of your clothes and turn the air conditioner on full blast. The good thing is they usually don't last but for a minute or so. Are you in menopause? I've been in menopause, kind of, for about 5 years now. Unfortunately I have early menopause and started at 32. No fun!
