    Yes, I feel the same way and am also 49. It's so hard not to feel like yourself and to not know how you are going to feel from one moment to the next. My period definitely seems to be on its "last legs", so I am hoping that I enter menopause soon. I just tell myself that in time these symptoms will go away, but it's hard trying to be patient. I totally feel for you!

      Hello alison

      i feel exactly how you’ve discribed yourself.  I just want me back. I’m 55 and been going through his horrendous time for six years. 

      I just want my ordinary life back and not to wake every morning (if I’ve slept) not wondering how I’m going to be today😞. I should be enjoying me 50’s my sons left home, I have no grandchildren yet so there’s just me and my husband but I do still work full time which I struggle through daily. 

      Am am I the only one dreading Easter as I’m cooking for the family this evening but have no enthusiasm abut it and would rather just go to bed early (I’m such a misery) but I hide it well and just carry on without anyone knowing. I hope we ALL feel better soon. Comforting hugs to all x

      Hi!  You just put a smile on my face by saying you’re dreading Easter.

      I have been feeling the same way about all events lately. I dont look forward to anything or enjoy them either.

      I hate feeling this way it’s not normal for me.  I always enjoyed and looked forward to being with family and friends. Especially preparing meals for everyone.  Now I just cannot wait for it be over.

      I’ve been experiencing a lot of the issues that ladies have posted and it definitely feels better I’m not alone!

      Some days are better than others. And when I’m feeling upset/anxious or whatever the symptom the day brings, I come here and read and know

      I’m not alone.  This is my first post! You all have helped me and hope I can do the same for someone else out there who needs support.

      Just wanted to say thanks so much! Cannot say how much ‘this has helped!!

      Hello rosemarie & all the other lovely ladies

      hope Easter’s going ok. I got through the cooking yesterday and had some unexpected visitors with their new baby and I seem to have got through that ok but did end up over cooking the meat which I thought was the end of the world but no one else knew how I felt ( become an expert at hiding my feelings). I’m having a good day today , just been reading some magazines and relaxing and of course eating chocolate, well it’s Easter.

      Like you all some days are better than others and when I’m having a good day I cherish it. Without this forum I’d of gone bonkers long ago so keep posting I cant manage without you. Happy Easter to all 🎂🍫x

    Agreed about Easter!!  All I think about is how I have to cook for everyone, act super happy, clean dishes, and still act energetic and excited.  UGh.  I actually called off Easter at my Mom's this year (love her and my Dad, but it's my sister, cousins, and nephews and nieces that drive me crazy and do nothing to help).  My family and I are laying low, celebrating at home, with everyone cooking something they love.  My teens went to the store and got everything yesterday, and we will just have a nice weekend together.  I've started bhrt, and feeling much better, just not up for all of that yet.

    I totally understand how you feel. I want to be me again! I haven't felt like myself in over a year. I always have some weird physical symptoms and have been to so many doctors and everything has been good, which I am very grateful to the Lord for! My health anxiety is out of control. I think everything I feel is something horrible and I obsessively Google and convince myself it's terrible. I have a wonderful life and I want to feel happy but I just can't seem to get out of this funk. I guess I need to go on the anti depressants I was prescribed last year but never took. I fake being ok for most people as I feel like no one except the wonderful ladies on here understand. How can they, I don't even understand and no one I knows seems to have had it this bad. Sorry for the rant!

    Hi Allie

    I understand all too well. Sometimes coming to this forum is a source o reassurance that im not alone, but i feel for everyone out there.

    I used to do those things you mentioned too smile

    Its sad, and to lose joy in these merits further self inquiry. Ive been this way for a year now (1 year in meno- 53 yrs old)

    I havent improved but i am trying everything, so if i come across something that helps me i will tell you.

    Hoping you dont have to have the hysterectomy.

    xoxo
