    Hi AnnaI'm 50 and I feel anxious and sad most of the time. Since I have started missing my period the hot flashes and night sweats have increased. My weight has all gone to the middle and I feel like a marshmallow. I try to walk everyday. The night sweats leave me feeling tired during the day.

      Michelle you’re doing fine with the weight dear , it’s normal, they say. I on the other hand can’t eat and I cannot afford to lose weight... I feel nauseous and eat like a mouse. This is a little scary I must admit I don’t even feel safe driving. 

      Later my dear friend thank you so very much!

    Yes I'm 49 and feel sad that I am a marshmallow!  It's all around the middle and this happened the last couple months so I have no idea what's going on.  I do try and swim every day.  Been thinking about going on a strict egg diet to get it off.  It's so depressing!!  I also woke up at 3 am this morning and could not get back to sleep for some reason.  And I've been extremely anxious and just want to hide mostly..

      I don’t think anyone can understand us , well maybe our mothers, but I am constantly nervous and upset . A RN actually made me , being very vulnerable right now, take not one but two pregnancy tests yesterday....guess what , I’m not pregnant!!! I feel nauseous and dizzy , I’m not eating well at all , l cannot afford to lose weight, I weigh around 100 pounds on a good day. I’m afraid and alone but thanks to you and other women like us , I get some reassurance. 

      Still no menstration it’s been three months, feeling yuk all over.

      I tell people now it’s adrenal fatigue instead of hormones as NOBODY understands ! I’m having a terrible time and feel like I need to go to a clinic for a month ! 

      It literally ruins your life !

    Get your blood hormones  checked now ! It just gets worse . Ask your dr for something to make you sleep I’m on medical marijuana and olanzapine a good sleeping pill that doesn’t make you groggy . It’s the adrenals that mess everything up I went months with very little sleep and it was awful. Now I’m the opposite in bed by 9pm and takes literally 5 hours for me to get going in the morning ...it’s all a nightmare !!
