I can't take it anymore!! Perimenopause horrible..HELP!
Posted , 336 users are following.
I am 48 years old, stay at home mom with two children. They are in school, I try to keep myself very busy. I have had OCD and anxiety, I have been fighting it for years. But, now the Perimenopause is really terrible..depressed, mood swings, tension headaches, dry and itchy skin.
I have spoken to my sisters who are all past Menopause, they tell me their stories but I just cannot believe that hormones can cause all this havock. I do not feel myself at all, my PMS is worse and the week of my period I actually feel like I have a disease and I am dying. Feel like I am going crazy!! Please tell me if this is normal to feel this way at this time, because I am obsessing and cannot get my mind off of it. Need Help!!!!

sorry to hear that but I am in the same boat. i am still trying to find out a solution. on my good days am neutral, with the exception of tiredness in the morning. other days i am over the moon, and bad days I have everything from body pains to extreme fatigue that i cant even hold my phone. and mentally i feel the same exhaustion with sadness and feeling of helplessness.
for two months now I am paying more attention to my food getting more sun and exercise. I have not had another sever episode. is it the lifestyle changes? maybe but they couldn't hurt.

I am so glad to find this forum , reading all and seeing that I am not alone really helps . i have weird symptoms, lightheadness , internal vibration, fogy , anxious, time to time shakes , muscle spasm, difficulty sleeping, stomach noises , hunger pangs, fatigue , body pains in different areas and the list can continue ... I am 48 and this symptoms I have since a few months so I am worriying how far to go .. I try to cope by drinking regular fresh juice morning, kefir before sleeping , started to use Magnesium , vitamin C&D , doing yoga 3 times a week and I try to sleep with application Elder , relaxing mode is really helping . do you have any recommendation to cope further ?
