Doing My Best to Cope

Posted , 5 users are following.

Does anyone feel like all of the symptoms are just too much to cope with? I have been dealing with severe physical and mental symptoms for over four years. I have really had enough at this point, but I still keep pushing forward.

    keep moving forward Bev please remember that this is all hormone related. that is the hardest part for me. i am not crazy, this is something i cannot control try as i might tho and lord knows i have been trying for soo long. please keep reaching out, but also take comfort in knowing that this will not last forever . visiting this site helps me by knowing i am not alone, but it also catches me in a cycle of depression thinking there is no end. some of these posts are 6 yrs old i want to assume those ladies have gotten through to the otherside and this is all but a memory. i have to believe that.

      i think this forum can be a curse as well as a blessing because it can trigger you reading old old posts x

      What a brilliant response! Thanks so much, Corinne. I couldn't agree more with you. One moment, it's the end of the world, and I feel as though I can't go on for one more moment; the next, I am blissfully happy. Perimenopause does make you feel insane, but I know that I'm not. I 100% believe in my total recovery from all of this. I just need to make it to the other side. Until then, it's day to day. When it's bad, I shorten my time frame to what I think I can handle.

      Thank you Bev, I am in that right now, feeling like I cant take anymore of this and even though I am way better than I was, I am not back to myself yet. I just keep waiting and waiting . Its like I am not living my full life because i will "do it when I feel better" . Tomorrow or later today Ill bounce back and think this is a load of hooey.
