I have zero sex drive and just feel almost invisible and unattractive, I used to be confident and outgoing but now I feel insecure. I sometimes feel like just running away and living alone even though I can't afford to. One minute I can feel emotional the next almost emotionless and empty. I love my job but feel useless most of the time.

Hi there you have just explained me and how i feel! So sorry you are also feeling this way. I've been going thru this for 3 years now. Sex is so painful with my bf now, I'm thinking of hrt but really undecided. Do you take anything? Goodness what us women have to go through! Xx

Hi I take marazapine for the anxiety and black co-host for the other symptoms. I didn't have any discomfort with sex I just have no sex drive or interest in intimacy

I also wake up at that time. I go back to bed but can never sleep in late. I'm just getting better, had a bad half year. I highly recommend first seeing your Dr. Mine gave me a very low dose of Xanax xr .5 once a day. It helps. I went to a psychologist for a few sessions if CBT and mindfulness, which helped also. Now u am doing a few sessions with a neurological acupuncturist who also does bach flowers. After one session, the entire day was like the old me. Then it receded a bit but I hope after a few sessions I will be 100%. I'm much better than I was. You have to do something. Exercise and water also...

Hi, Can I just say hair loss, stomach issues - please use macca with care, also soya..(not sure about issues with soya and thyroid)..could be that you need to cut back on things...I know because I was taking a few things and honestly they did not help....other's have recommended dietary changes, i.e. less sugar, etc, I think this may help you...may well be that the soya is not helping your thyroid..hence you're feeling worse...
?Could you try cutting out these things just to see...
I do feel for you, my hair loss has bee significant. Another story... be wary of maca, soya and certain type of vitamins...take care

Tracy, there isn't a woman out here who doesn't feel the way you do. These hormonal changes effect everything. I can relate to every post here. It's amazing how life changes, and so do we. I'd be just fine, if someone could tell me how to be my old perky self again. I miss having a sex drive, but the dryness and pain take their tole!!! And I'm sick of the "experts" who write that it's about being patient and taking it slow. (I don't care how slow it is, if it hurts you don't want it.) I used to feel pretty all the time, now I never do. I find myself almost wanting to hide from people.
And that emotional junk is sometimes the worst. It seems nothing interests me. I remember years ago thinking that when the kids were gone I'd have so much time to get all my projects in. Now I simply don't care anymore.
I just wanted to jump in and tell you that you are not alone. Menopause absolutely stinks.
