Feeling of being alone/lonely

This is the worst symptom of peri for me.  I can be in my office at work with ten other people and feel alone and scared, visit my family and feel like I'm the only person in the house, etc.  When other symptoms are bad or I've got another doctor visit coming up or am worried about a new symptom, it feels like there is nobody else on this planet.  My mom went through a few years during her peri when she could not be by herself and now I'm like that, too.  It is just horrible and isolating.  It makes me think that everyone else's life is easier because they don't have these problems.  But I know they have problems of their own... just can't see past the peri sometimes.

    Oh my gosh I feel like I wrote this post. Thank you for sharing your feelings of anxiety I'm loneliness. I am newly married and experiencing these the same feelings and I am afraid that my anxiety and loneliness will negatively impact my marriage as it is impacting the rest of my life. Looking for menopause support groups around me has turned up nothing. I'm planning on talking to a specialist and hopefully looking into some replacement hormones. This is the pits.

    How are you feeling?
