mandy91562 Marley1 • 13 minutes agoHi I'm new to the group. I've been reading some posts/ replies on here what a lovely group of people you are!

im 46 and recently diagnosed as peri menopausal. My doc tried to put me on Prempak c . I did take them for 2 months but felt terribly bloated so ive stopped taking them . That was a month ago and I feel awful again. My main symptom is feeling sad. Not just a little bit sad but sad to the point where I want to be alone .. I can't listen to the news or any slow songs on the radio as I know it will set me off. I hate myself and have driven some friends away with my constant excuses of not wanting to go out. I think some have finally got bored of me. 

As I type this im alone again in my bedroom- fending off 3 children who are getting used to their mum going to bed at 7.30pm. I love my children and husband and I'm worried I will drive them away too. 

Does anyone have any suggestions? X 0 votes  Report  Share Reply

    I really feel for you but think you should persevere with the tablets, surely better to feel a bit bloated than to feel sad all the time. Try & combat the bloating with diet & exercise.  Or you could go back to doctor & get him to change tablets to something that will suit you better.   Hope all works out ok for you x

    hi mandy .. i read your post and felt so sorry for you as i too am going through the exact same thing .. i wouldnt wish these feelings of despair on anyone .. the other night i was totally inconsoleable .. cried and cried all night long .. as if my heart was breaking .. i wish i could offer you some suggestions of what to do ... as i too just want to hide from the world and would quite happily spend all my time in my bedroom .. so can sympathise with you on the worries of how all of this is affecting your family .. hope you feel a bit more comforted that your not alone and that what you are going through is perfectly normal ..

Went out with my closest friends on Friday feel as if l was a moan a bore, and like you.pushing them away...shoould not have touched alcohol.feeling the way l am, have had bad palpitations, tearful, short tempered feeling very alone as if nobodies there for. me, although l know there is, l think. So l have got up this morning feeling this cant continue, still have palpitations, and feeling of gloom. Have went to keep fit, hated it although l know will make. me feel better. Its a start, l have been.here many times over 14 years, it can get better. What.lm trying to say is you are certainly not alone, it does help to talk .x
