    Hi Maria, yes I have this happen too. I used to love to see an exciting movie or read a thriller novel. I have to be very careful with that right now though, otherwise I get the 'doomies'.

    I had a really good summer symptom-wise, and thought I was finally winding down the perimenopause, and the change of seasons seems to have brought some of my symptoms back. Not as bad as my worst times though, for which I am grateful.

    Be kind to yourself, honey. Praying this will pass quickly for you.

      I've taken to watching fluffy Hallmark Christmas movies, happy endings and no horrible scenes that make your mind go to dark places. ((((Hugs)))) to you!

    Hi Maria

    Yes I get it randomly. I avoid the news and only watch positive programmes. Im 51 and am having some very random symptoms. I can be ok for a couple of months then get bad months. No tolerance to stress. I think sugar aggravates it. Hope you feel better.

    You ladies are a gift from God. Yes maria76995, I have to be careful what I watch and read or I get gloomy. But I have to just push through sometimes because I work as a Victim Advocate at the local Police Dept. and I have to be there for the victims . Robberies, domestic violence, homicides, etc. I deal with this on a daily basis. This time of year is so hard on me, I'm also starting to get burned out.

    Lately, I've been watching fluffy Hallmark Christmas movies. Happy endings, no blood and guys. I cannot believe I'm not alone with this symptom.
