Just needing to know I am not alone today
Posted , 7 users are following.
I feel like a 44 y/o good for nothing most days....and it can be so depressing when I start thinking I'm too young to feel this way! Y'all are my support system. Thank God I have y'all to vent to. I just have no motivation. I think about redecorating a room and then I don't feel like it. I think of lots of stuff I could do, but no I think I will just sit here and watch tv....and watch my life go by. I go to cbt, but I don't feel like I really progress out of my rut. I just keep repeating the same behaviors. Sorry, I just needing to vent and have someone to talk to! Thanks for listening sweet ladies!

Hey Becky. I am supposed to be looking for a house right now. I should be excited, right? Not so much. So many women I'm sure suffer in silence. I sometimes wonder if my granny felt like this.

Hi Chr,
You are not alone my friend. I'm suffering with severe anxiety today, but I tell the girls at work how I feel. Some are my age and don't have these severe symtoms. One woman now in her 60's understands because she went through this. I'm panicky and worry about finances, trying to Maintain my home. I live alone and have a very large lot, and I need some repairs and although I work 6 days a week, I don't have the money. I'm also having a hard time accomplishing simple chores I was always able to complete. I used to clean my entire home, do all my laundry make dinner and many more things in one given day. Nowadays I will have a clean dishwasher for multiple days, clean clothes sitting in the dryer. I feel like I lost many friends, and don't socialize anymore. I'm single now so I don't cook because I lack the energy and ambition. My entire world has fallen apart. I used to have so much motivation and zest for life, but this change of life has taken all that away from me. I was prescribed Prometrium, but was afraid to start it two months ago, and last week when I was supposed to begin, I felt ok, but now I'm regretting never starting it. I'm on a high dose of cymbalta which isn't doing anything. I'm PMS and it 100x worse then before. I'm really scared today

Hey Colleen. Thank you for sharing. I know this seems like we are drowning sometimes. But our God is bigger than this and we will make it through. 2thes 3:3. He is faithful. I'm glad you work. That gets you out of the house. We need something. Are you going to start the prometrium? Is that a pill? I'm glad you have the one lady at work that can relate.

Ok ladies I relate to some of your systems. But I did get some relief from drinking soy milk(chocolate for me), flax seed in yogurt , and mult vitamin , plus a b complex , plus a d vitamin. Are ladies taking anything??? I am going to Doctor in November hoping for cream to help with more relief. I don't like medicine(. Pills like Xanax , I have never taken anything like that before and I don't want to start). I had a baby at 42 and it threw me into perimenopause . I have anxiety , crying spells, heart racing, weight gain, angry easily .So this has helped me. Sometimes I could even feel like I could fall asleep during the day.And I use to be like the energizer bunny. Restless nights. And so on. Sometimes I get a moment when I get anxiety and I feel really funny for about five to ten mins and I start taking my stuff. I have even had dump dreams and unwanted thoughts. Not all at once. Some people said magnesium . I am gonna try this. I hope all of you feel better.

I just started drinking soy milk this week my ob dr told me to drank it. How long did it take before it started working and what did it help may i ask? I'm like you my primary dr wanted to put me in xanax i tried it for a couple days and it really made it worst. Im trying to go through this natural pills dont agree with me. I only take my blood pressure medicine and my allergy medicine. Thanks for sharing. We can get through this.

I started the flax seed at the same time and I noticed after 3 days a difference from using both. It's not cure but it definitely helps.

That's exactly what I am taking. I don't know if you need anymore or not. People have even said magnesium helps too. Are you using flax seed? Or soy milk? It has helped me some. Or you can look up food that is as magnesium in it. Good luck. I go to doctor in November and I will know more. I would go sooner but I am waiting for insurance to start next month through hubbys work. Also, I am going to see a dietitian that can help with putting me on the right foods for perimenopause and too lose weight at the same time. I have got to get myself back. Good luck!
