I had to skim over the Mad Men bit, since it would be a spoiler to me, but... you're not alone. I am the antithesis of wanting death, but I do feel the tyranny of the body, 3mos postpartum (which, to me, is ENOUGH ALREADY). I feel very physically crotchety, and it's difficult to stay positive that one day my body will again be my own. (I was so fat for so long there [another hormonal imbalance], you'd think I'd be used to it. But I was lucky to bounce back quickly after C. Ah - to be 31 again!) I take comfort by keeping in mind a friend who is 5 years older, who just reclaimed her body. It took her several years, but she's one of those people who can say "I am fitter at 40 than at 30". I tell myself, "this discomfort is just a phase". It'll be just like eschewing the baby toys, right? Stay tuned. -gk
