    Hi Cleo,

    I too have no motivation and struggle most mornings to get out of bed. Life seems to have no point while enduring perimenopause. I truly have to take 1 day at a time. My life has changed drastically in 8 months.

    I can totally relate. I just got up and it's past noon. All I do is groceries and doctors appointments. My life has dwindled down to just necessities. It's a horrible way to be. So hard to keep sane.

    Yes! I feel so bad, because hubby tries to engage, but so very hard for me to have much of a conversation. Can't really watch TV much anymore either, don't have much attention span, I guess. This is horrible! I just mainly stay on couch, with tv on for noise, and look up things on iPad or my mobile. Not interested in much either, which was so not me 4 months ago! This stinks!!

    I am 48 and on the peri journey too....I hear you 100%! I don't want to go out...i don't care what I look like...I just wear anything thats cool and comfortable. I hate wearing my bra because I feel restricted and my ribs ache...even if I wear a soft one. I find it a hassle to shower somedays...and only shave my legs when my 20 year old son teases me about how bad they are lol.

    I remember my mum had a shocking menopause....palpitations...emergency room visits....hot flushes etc. But when I ask her how long it went for she can't remember. She said her saving grace was a little blue pill the doctor gave her......she doesnt know what it was it was so long ago. I need my own little blue pill lol. My husband comments on my mood swings too....i get really angry really quickly over little things....i go through all emotions daily....angry sad depressed irritated fatigued....i am on a roller coaster. I think I only have a few days a month I feel 'normal' now.I read that some women feel depressed as their womenhood is coming to an end...I think 'Hallelujah!!! Take it!' I can't wait for mine to go smile

      I know lol...i hate wearing a bra...it makes my ribs ache and i want to rip it off. At the moment here in Queensland Australia its 30 plus degrees....so i wear those strapless dresses that are elasticized around the boob area. It gives me some support without being restrictive. Quite frankly i don't care if I have to wear muumuus as long as I am cool and comfy. smile

      Me too lol...its like a secret club we are in....i walk around sometimes wondering how many women are silently suffering. Someone on here said we need a secret hand signal to let other women know. I am over this period/woman crap. 30 plus years of periods.....3 pregnancies with a total of 1 years morning sickness...and now this!! I don't have time for menopause...just get it over with! smile

      Well said! I've got another horrible day-2 hours sleep again last night. Tight to breath today again and all my face is buzzing. Got to take my son and his friend somewhere in about an hour. Want to be normal again
