Another day, when will it end

I hear ya im right where ur at( Been in perimenopause eight years im now 48. Like you im screaming inside when will it end!!!! Some days it seems to much to bear.

I just read an online article in the daily mail about a woman who quit work nearly got divorced and thought she was bipolar. Turns out it was menopause! !!

She also talked about the palpitations and shortness of breath which I get a lot and thought I was dying.

Hope ur day gets better

Hang on in there xx

Hi, Bobbins:  I was born with anxiety problems and as I got older it seemed to get a little better.  I had to have an emergency hysterectomy in 2001, and my doctor immediately placed a Vivelle Dot on my arm.  I felt great for many years, until my insurance co. told me they would no longer help pay for them.  They are very expensive here in America, somewhere around 200.00 a month.  She put me on Esterdoil, and things have gotten worse ever since.  Yesterday, I got off of every estrogen, and I feel like you today...swollen and sore breast area, anxiety, fuzzy brain...I really don't know what to do....You ask if it will ever end..I'm 67 yrs. old, and I'm still struggling with hormones...Please get on the right meds while you are young enough to enjoy life.....Good luck!!

Morning Bobbins, me too ! Been awake since around half two this morning with anxiety ( surgical menopause no HRT) and it drives me mad, good days and bad days, I have to go to work soon and feel like a flipping spaced out zombie, sick of it, take care yourself x

Hi! .... Sorry you feel so awful .... I too use to wake up feeling deeply anxious all I can say is it will pass I promise you. These feelings and many many more will take their course and settle, we are all different but I have had every symptom known to womankind a truly terrible time but it does pass so stay strong and tell yourself it will pass. Big hugs to you xx

Hi Bobbins059

We are all behind you with these horrible feelings that most of us endure during Peri.. I have been in Peri for quite some time and i will be 60 in October!  I cannot sleep, my stomach is constantly playing me up!  My memory is dreadful amongst other things.. my concentration is bad..

I am terrified that I am going to die!  It's also very costly as I cannot go out without protection on because of the un predictable bleeding or lack of bladder control..   I never know what's going to happen next!!!

Keep fighting it can only get better.. Can't it???

I'm 3yrs post menopause and still this causes me great distress the anxiety and panics which absorb my whole body while I'm in bed. I am taking a small amount of diazepam at night and it really has been helping me.

Awwwww

I felt like that on Monday n Tuesday it's horrendous isn't it

I put Tuesdays anxiety duwn to going into hospital fir procedure on my knee had a GA n felt ok after it's like it's rebooted my settings lol hobbling around but still got anxiety but not as bad n the muzzy head has subsided I'm hoping the op has sorted my aches n pains out no doubt I'll soon know

I feel exactly the same bobbins, I've woke up & anxiety is already flowing through me along with all the negative thinking & fear that I'm going to be left like this. Also how really bad headache this morning.

We'll need to tell ourselves this is temporary & will be over soon. It's good to be able to vent our frustrations on here though knowing other ladies understand.

Hope you've managed to get a sleep & the symptoms you described sound like the hormones are causing chemicals such as adrenaline to rush through you... Don't worry about it.. I've had all the symptoms you describe.

Take care x
