    Crap day.  Feel so angry and out of control :-(((((

      The worst, isn't it, to feel so out of control? I think I've always been someone who likes to be in control (of my own life) and so the loss of it is crippling alone, never mind the rest of the symptoms.

      My peri was long, at least 10 years. I'm 56 now and a little over a year in menopause. It's getting better, but I've sought help and am now attending an extensive Mindfulness training program. I take no meds whatsoever.

      I can recommend Mindfulness to all women who are floored by (peri)menopause, because you learn techniques to CONTROL the out of control feelings. biggrin By being gentle with yourself, for instance, because the harder you bash into those frustrating feelings, the harder they push back.

      It's worth looking into.

      To calm down you could also take Bach Rescue Remedy. The drops helped me when I wanted to throw a mug of coffee through the TV screen more than once.

      Good Luck!
