    Hi

    I'm not on hrt. But yes I thought I was losing my mind to. I had such brain fog. Such bad memory. And felt like I couldn't cope with my everyday stuff. Sometimes I even felt like I was high from drugs or something. And then the anxiety. And the no energy.

    All I can tell you is . I cut out sugar and choc stuff and it made such s difference anxiety wise.

    I only started taking floravital floradex. Bad my energy has improved brilliantly almost straight away . I got so much fine this last week, than I have got done for the whole summer. And eating skit of fruit and veg which I would never have eaten before., so all in all I am feeling on top of the world for the first time in a few years. Hope this helps

      Hi Cathy, I would cry all of the time too! I would cry for my girls and when they go through this....they are 27, 17 and 14 lol my youngest would say we have a long way Mom so dont worry. It is just miserable so I cried for everyone that might feel this way. I do have better days though and I wait patiently (well I try) for those days. The best advice is move your mind when you feel this way....laundry, a light walk, Coloring or anything to feel better. We will get through this! Praying for each of us every day. Take care!

      I was crying all the time, I can't do HRT so I turned to essential oils and the stuff I am using has helped 95% with the crying and mood swings, its this headache and being dizzy that I can barely function now

    Hi Kim, you don't have to apologize for another post. I posted so many times on this website daily when all of this first started with me. I have felt exactly how you have as far as not knowing how much more you can take. But trust me you will get past this point! It comes and goes. I had a good couple of months and now I am back feeling shaky with anxiety and a weird head. I just figure my hormones are acting up again. We will get through this! Im praying for you and all of us every day. Good days are coming! Hang in there and post as much as you need to. We are here for you! ((Hugs))

      I believe our body tries to keep balancing itself out, no matter what is "off", to maintain homeostasis. I think that is why we have good times and bad times. And probably accounts for some of the symptoms we experience. It's just our body trying to "fix" itself...and sometimes overshoots (like a hormone that is lacking and then we have symptoms. of too much). Sometimes I have symptoms of low estrogen. And then a couple of weeks later I will have estrogen dominant symptoms, which I read could also be low prog. Anyway, I don't know if that makes sense to anyone else. Sorry I know this prob didn't relate to crazy in the head. Lol! Being off topic is usual for me now days and no one around here wants to listen to me 😂

      I think that you are right about that! I know I can tell when different hormones are dominant as well. This is a rough ride for sure. Praying we all get through it soon! Take care!

    Yes. Not on hrt but soon to start birth control- doc said is better in my case. I do have such crazy moments of anxiety about every little thing. I read about ways to fistract myself, meditation and so on, but sometimes anxiety takes so much of my thoughts I cannot manage to sustain another thought. I hate anxiety. It jumps from anxiety to depression and back and forth. Pff

    Breath, breath you are somewhere in there and hope u feel better soon.

    I'm so sorry you're feeling this way Kim. I have been feeling the exact same way for the past 3 months and I'm only 31 so it's scary for me to think I may be hitting peri at an early age. I have an appointment Monday so hopefully I get some answers. I too keep thinking I have some sort of mental illness as I Google things. By the way...googling stuff is a very bad idea. I have had some decent days but more bad unfortunately. I'll definitely keep you and everyone else in here in my prayers. If it makes you feel any better, I cried this morning at work and then again in the shower after work. Just try to remain positive. Good luck.

      get your hormones checked out.  its not normal to be peri in your 30's

    • Posted

      I'm not sure it's not normal to experience peri at 31 because it's considered normal for it to last for 10-12 years. In 12 years you'll be 43 and many women go into menopause in their mid 40s. Getting your hormone levels checked for possible peri is a good idea though. Then you'll know what you're dealing with.
