Friends, What Would I Do Without Them?
I am so lucky. Since menopause, I have found that I have difficulty in making decisions -- even or especially minor decisions!. I have no idea if there is a medical explanation, but in my mind the two are definitely related: menopause and difficulty in making decisions.
So, what does this have to do with being lucky? I have good friends who can help me when I get indecisive. I remember once, over a decade ago, something as simple as which bill should I pay first (yes, I’m an accomplished therapist and author, but when the big I (for indecision) hits, it’s as if my brain gets stuck. So, I’ve come to rely on friends to help me. I am only a bit embarrassed to tell you that Andrea said to pay the electric before the gas (or something as silly as that). And, that was enough to unlock my brain and I could get back to being functioning again.
And, today, I have a few good friends I can call upon to help me think through more serious topics of indecision. Just today, thank you so much, Beth,. She listened to my latest indecision, and offered a suggestion that got me going again.
Then, just now, I sat here at the computer stymied, not able to decide what to blog about. Then it came to me: blog about my inability to make the decision what to blog about!
Have you ever had this problem? How do you deal with it?
