HOW TO SURVIVE – INTRODUCTION (AVOIDING SIMPTOMS)
If you are susceptible there is nothing you can do about avoiding the symptoms of the male-menopause. Those that are going to affect you, will. But you can recognize them for what they are, that is, simply, symptoms, and bad though the reaction may be at least you know you are in good company with countless others and not on the verge of collapse or madness and that physically you do not have a terminal illness. If your sexlife does not improve overnight at least you know normal service will soon be resumed.
Jungian analysts subscribe to the old adage that life is one long day with the age of forty as its midday, a high-noon peak before the long afternoon and dusk with its setting sun. (Both Jung and Freud suffered mid-life crises.) And during the M-M years the past looks far richer than the future. But although the past may have been great why shouldn’t the future be as good — if different? Survival lies in the ability to spot what is going wrong and make the correct decisions recognizing the changes you need in yourself and your lifestyle and adapting to them so that the future works to your advantage.
