hi Christine, i can relate to going over the past. i have also had a sister who had severe panic attacks and didn't want to leave her house at one point.... anyway it possibly is to do with hormones and stress levels hiking. do you think doing something relaxing like listening to relaxing music, long soak in bath, prayer.... or is there something positive you can get engrossed in like a positive book or tv programme (not depressing stuff). re: stuff youve said - not sure if you're are a christian. But pray to God asking HIm to help you. or praying with someone else might help.

I can certainly understand about what you mean about getting angry from something from the past. During one period of my peri I was experiencing this and it was torturing me daily. But it was toward my husband , and I was wondering why am I bringing up stuff in the past daily. Someone suggested to me to read the book Wisdom of Menopause. I purchased the book and the author explained so much of what I was experiencing . This is a time of our lives that we're transitioning to another person but in order to transition over we must heal from things from the past. Perimenopause tends to resurface old feelings, things that we suppressed, unsolved problems... This book was a eye opener for me. She said many of her patients symptoms went away including herself when they faced things and resolved them. I really believe this to be true in my own experience...I have been praying for wholeness . If you haven't read this book, get it .. it will help explain alot what's going on.

Hi Christine . I too notice that around my period especially a week before i am angry thinking about my past and what others did to me. Its like i become a monster wanting to tear their heads off and that's not being funny. A week after my period is over i feel normal like a sane person. I don not know what happens in our bodies that do this. . I have to put a lot of work into myself during these time. Prayer, hot baths, no news or bad movies, surround myself with good. Hang in there you are not alone. praying for you and all the women experiencing this hell. God help us

Oh, Christine, I feel for you, and I completely understand what you are going through, as this has happened to me, too. Try to remember that the "paranoid, sad, angry, bloated" person is NOT you! It is your hormones playing tricks with your mind.
For some unknown reason, the mind betrays us, at this time, and works against us, so we dredge things up from the past and bring them into the present. Sometimes, I have such vivid and painful dreams of loss over things that I haven't thought about for a very long time.
Always remind yourself that you are a beautiful, strong woman, who is managing to get through a terrible time in her life. Also, remind yourself that this is a phase, and, one day, you will be looking at all of this through the rear view mirror.
Big Hugs,
Bev xo
