Ladies sometimes i want to run from myself. Yesterday i was speaking to a woman and found it difficult to find the proper words. I felt so embarrassed to the point where i literally wanted to run away from her, into the crowd and just lose myself. This is something that i did not experience before. I experienced going blank but speaking mumbo jumbo NO. I woke up this morning with anxiety thinking about yesterday. How do i get over this ? Has this shameful and terrible situation ever happened to you ? What do i take is there something for my brain ? God help me and us dealing with this crap.

    Hi Hopeforever, this was me yesterday, thank goodness I was speaking with my ex husband and was able to express my frustration with my loss for words. I really just try to remember that it is hormones and yes some people may think we are losing our s**t but we are doing the best we can. This menopause has taught me compassion over anything else.

      Thank you Corinne for your reply. It sure is frustrating what we as women have to endure during this time in our lives. Everyday something new to deal with or a past symptom reacurring. People out there don't understand the level of loss of life we women are going through and its heart wrenching to say the least. The good days that i do have i am so grateful for. Its like i feel reborn again. I am still in perimenopause and cannot wait for the day all this madness ends. God bless

    Hi hope forever,

    Forgetting words and forgetting what I wanted to say mid sentence were one of the symptoms I had when my vitamin B12 level was low. It was super frustrating and used to annoy me! This improved once I was started on supplements. Whilst this can definitely be linked to peri/menopause it may be worth getting your vitamin B12 and folate levels checked. All the best,
