Menopause is driving me nuts!

It's so nice to know that I'm not going crazy or dying.  I was just diagnosed a month ago as being in menopause and it's driving me nuts.  I have had bouts with anxiety but it had subsided a few years ago, and i had stopped taking the antidepressant I was on until a month ago; after that, I was checked out and told I was in menopause; in which in turn my doctor told me that with me having an underlying issue with anxiety, menopause can make it a little harder on me, so of course I'm back on my antidepressant (the anxiety has eased up a little bit) but I would surely love for it to stop completely.  I have the dizziness, the depression, the increased/decreased in libido.  Sometimes I feel like I'm about to run out my own skin.  Will the symptoms ever stop?!

      It's not Jokey, believe me, I feel like that sometimes too, but I tell myself that this will be done soon and then I can go back to being the outgoing person I used to be.  This morning I'm going through some anxiety, but I think it's because I consumed a little bit too much sugary food yesterday; now I'm paying for it.  We'll get through this.  Blessings to you.

      I have heard it said that your libido comes back when

      you are through it but I don't see how that is possible

      as you have lost the hormones. Any clue how that

      happens, I am feeling a bit desperate about that at the

      moment as I feel sorry for Mr D (hubby)??
