Does anyone feel lonely and isolated in menopause? You used to enjoy parties,

people, weddings, etc.? And now all you want to do is hide.

I feel like I totally lost my social life sad

    Hi, I haven't been extremely social but yes I just want to be on my own and do the things I want to do. I don't seem to mind not meeting anyone for days. I also feel tired and lack of energy for such activities. sad

    jamie, my first reaction was to hide indoors

    i knew i was becoming agrophobic

    now i say yes to any offers of outings from family members - compulsively, blindly

    i know why- im fighting the initial reactions
