Can't Handle Perimenopause Symptoms Anymore!!!
Posted , 57 users are following.
I think I have been in perimenopause for about 8 years now. I will be 49 in April. The last 10 months of my life have been horrible. The symptoms never seem to let up. They are only getting worse. My quality of life is absolutely terrible. The Jitters, Anxiety, Heart Palpitations, Panic Attacks, Blurred Vision, Dizziness, Off Balance Feeling, Pressure in My Head, Etc are ruining my life. I don't know what to do anymore. I have lost 20 pounds, eat organic and clean, no sugar, salt, caffeine or chocolate. I take a ton of supplements, progesterone cream, some soy, amino acids, calcium magnesium vitamin d fish oil, do acupuncture etc. Can't shake these terrible symptoms. I feel hopeless like this is who I will be for the rest of my life. I cry every morning when I wake up because I feel this way every morning. I don't even recognize myself in the mirror anymore. Went to Target with my Mom the other day and got stuck at the end of an isle holding on to a shelf for dear life crying. I felt so off balance, had a panic attack and couldn't move for a minute. This can't be my life forever. It's horrible. I want to go on hikes like I use to, go to the beach and boogie board again.. I cry just typing this because now I can't seem to do anything without having a panic attack. Sorry for this vent I'm just so discouraged by these symptoms that just don't stop

your not alone everything you just said I can relate I've not had a break or good days for three years straight I'm almost 9 years in of this crap. I beg and pray everyday and no relief. I'm scared I'll be this way too for the rest of my life and I can't except that I just don't see no end in sight. I'm even more scared to lose my period as some women I've read it gets worse in menopause after period is gone I'm terrified of that.

I feel your pain. I too wake up everyday sobbing. Before that I wake up around 4am and I start obsessing about how my day is already going to be. Will I have any appetite, will my heart give me a break from pounding out of my chest! It's absolutely horrible and all I want to do is hide in my house. I have lost all interest in things that use to make me happy. Sucks to be a woman!!!

I feel your pain. I'm ready for peri to be over! My bad symptoms come and go, so I catch a break sometimes at least, but they are bad right now. My NP actually advised against supplements unless I tested my hormones since the symptoms of high and low estrogen are pretty similar, though she did tell me to start taking probiotics. At this point, it would be nice to just have menopause start and hopefully the symptoms would all go away, or at least decrease.

I am literally bed ridden with symptoms I also have suffered with pmdd pre menstrual dysphoric disorder I'm agoraphobic and have battled chronic anxiety since my early 20s
it is all too much I'm on antidepressants and 11 days into taking cerazette progestin pill to stop me ovulating to hopefully feel a little better
I really dont know how much more of this I can take X
