My fed up happy face
Posted , 8 users are following.
I get up every morning and feel like I put on a happy face mask. I go to work I function I am happy to all that see me. I come home and am again happy in front of the kids and husband. I make plans for a future I don't know I will have. Under the happy mask I'm crying everyday for the person I was. My back hurts mainly under my shoulder blade. I get up every night at least twice for a wee, and don't get me started on my boobs if it's not one its the other. My side is sore a bit like having sunburn and I seem to be either bleeding or spotting all month.
I just want to curl up and cry but no one would understand why ☹

We understand.....I feel the same way. Just because I get dressed up and wear make up as I still love getting all dressed up doesn't mean we are alright. It's a mask.....I feel exactly the same. My stomach has been in pain especially on the right side and doing diarrhoea poo now. I go from constipation to this. I've got my colonscopy next week and anxiety is through the roof:(

thanks Sarah I was thinking of you and was going to message you as I didn't hear back from you....I don't want you to feel alone we are here for you.
I'm thinking of getting some natural progesterone after getting my bloods done by the gynecologist in 2 weeks. As my polyps keeping coming back due high levels of estrogen!
it's the weekend and let's give ourselves a break and you've got us...keep talking to us x

they wont give you natural progesterone on prescription and the creams you buy online can make you feel worse at first for a few months xx

Try the spray? I think they do an oil too. Also sit out in the sun when it decides to come out for 20mins . I noticed my headaches went with sunshine. The best source of Vit d x

There is a vit D3 that comes in drops mixed with olive oil only. It's the kind we use. I would tell you where I got it, but they will probably delete it. If your interested you can message me.

Hey Sarah...
Maybe, just maybe, it's high-time, to let your loved ones know what you're going through. It's only a matter of time, before your mask finds itself on the floor, and ALL hell breaks loose. You owe it to yourself... to educate them regarding this NATURAL period of your life. I think, keeping it hidden, will only make things worse. Don't let SHAME consume you! Your mental and physical health are at stake! Your family loves you; you are NOT perfect, and they are well-aware of this; this time in your life can be/will be very DEBILATATING; therefore, you need an at-home support system. Your home is your castle, if you can't be yourself there, then where can you be? You are a vital component to your family, as well as society; be well, my menopausal sistah!
