Easily stressed

Posted , 7 users are following.

Things I could handle before now easily stress me out.... I feel so inadequate and low with it all. I'm nearly 50 so guess it's all part of it

    Sounds familiar. I just turned 50. Seems every day is a bad hair/face/neck/body day according to my mirror and I find myself much more anxious about things I never used to be! That’s despite taking bio identical Estrogen although I know I was much worse before!

    Hiya Alison .. yep that’s just how the menopause makes us feel, I’m 53 and started to go through this crap about 4years ago, I use to go out with friends every weekend and enjoy life, these days the person in the mirror just don’t look like me any more, and I don’t go out now, for one with hot sweats my makeup just slides off b4 I can even get out front door, so now days I don’t bother putting it on, this menopause crap as some thing to answer to 😡.. I can’t take HRT so Iv just got to get through this on my own, and hopefully there will be a end to all these symptoms one day, and life will resume again.. big hug chic 🤗x

    Hi Alison I’m turning 55 soon and have been feeling that way for a good few years , my anxiety has gone through the roof I’m less intolerant of situations, I cry daily , one min I’m lowest of lows then like a flick of a switch I’m hyper and happy but know it won’t last long .... I feel sorry for our other half’s that never know what mood we will be in ... personally one min I’m so loving to him the next I can’t stand him near me 😟...I have aches and pains each day headaches palpertations , feel sick basically same sort of feelings like when I had children ..... but that’s not a possibility as I’m in my stay away from partner mood and have been for a while poor man 😉.... this peri is a awlful thing some days it feels like my body has been taken over by some aliens it’s just not me ... well my loverly ladies I’m off shopping hope not to have too much trolly rage , xx

    Everything you wonderful ladies have said is 100% ME!!!! I thank you so much for sharing. I'm 51 going on 52 this month and the anxiety is insane!! I would trade it in for aches and pains any day. I'm so up and down with my emotions that I feel like I'm driving everyone away with my Sybil personality. Good luck everybody and lots of hugs!!
