Love you both so much!!
Just want you to know that I am on year 9 of hot flashes (and cold flashes). I didn't really consider them cold flashes. I just thought of it as my body reacting to the hot flash by trying to cool me down and the result is me being really cold with chills after the hot flash passes. The first 4-5 years I would get about 60-100 a day. It did taper off and now it's only 2-10 a day. It sucks but you deal with it the best you can!! I got one of those sore muscle wraps that are filled with beans or beads that you can microwave or put in the freezer. I keep it in the freezer all of the time. When I get a hot flash I drink ice water and put that around my neck. Then I just deal with the cold flash afterwards. Sorry you are dealing with this. You just don't understand until it happens to you!!
It wasn’t until I was in my late 30’s and divorced that I felt like I had a home. It was a rental and it felt like the first place I could call home. I wanted to keep it so bad when I moved in with my boyfriend a few years later, I still miss it. As a kid I never stayed in one town for more than a few years, and I am introverted and was very shy (I was also always misgendered the first day of school because of everyone’s inability to read my name correctly) so it was always such a struggle. I had very little emotional support from my parents, or any adult for that matter. When I went to college, I realized that all my friends had homes to go to and I never had anything close to that. I couldn’t even answer the question “where are you from?” Home can be where your family is, but if your family is nothing more than a label attached to a group of people that live under the same roof, it’s hard to not form attachments to a physical place.
