    DITTO LADIES! Maria, Mars, Maud, Caroline, I feel exactly the same, this menopause has taken over my life! Never knowing what to do next is awful, you can't plan anything because you know your just going to feel dizzy nausea, forgetful fluish , anxiety, panicky, and just plain ol sick! Can't do nothing, except crawl into your hole and hope today or tomorrow is the day you feel better, and when you have a good day (few and far between) then your constantly thinking ok when's it going to hit me again! I'm right there with you all 😅

      Yes ! I think we need to laugh! I’m in the media and film and I hate being in front of the camera now but the ppl around me make me laugh and for a time the anxiety goes away . I think we should start a laughter joke thread ppl can add to. Just a laugh can make you feel good ! Even if it’s for a minute lol

    I just finished a huge conversation about this at home.

    I am 55 and in menopause.

    I am not comfortable being home (which is my favorite place) and certainly do not want to be out.

    When I am out I do what I have to do as quickly as possible to get home.

    I am extremely anxious.  I do not see really anyone, except for who I have to see.

    I also had postpartum depression and this is exactly how I felt.  

    I was told all those years ago, that I may have a hard time going through menopause.

      Hi Maria have you tried listening to audible books or some you tube channels really helps with the sleep. I also feel I just want to be home get stressed thinking of going to the pub as I feel I would not be able to last more than an hour. Huge life change I used to be out all the time. Started the hot sweats this month for first time anyone know anything good to take - natural remedies?

      I always loved watching my favorite shows and going to sleep.

      Now I am really not interested in watching anything.

      So true that lack of sleep makes everything worse.

      Hi there Nancy and everyone else.

      I share the same sentiments. I go to work, come home, just look after my boys, and pray to get through the next day. Get in the store and out as soon as possible, people and crowds make it much worse very quickIy. 

      I have a mixture though

      of anxiety and depression thats pretty awful. Last March it all started to spiral downward. Its been 1 year now. Im not myself anymore.

      I know who i WAS and who i WANT to be again, but the switch to joy and contentment has been off for awhile.

      Im 53, and just day by day..its really dreadful. My heart goes out to you all.
