    I get that too but I'm trying hard to ignore

    Some of my symptoms have hold up for now....but you don't know when they will return like the hot flashes

    We have no control over what our bodies are doing to us

    You will be OK.

    I know how you feel. But there are soo many tools: grab an iced tea, watch a movie, call a friend, take a walk, a cool bath, color, meditate, workout, do some eft, join a reiki grp!

    Becky, I've never been this down, anxious in my entire life! We're not in full blown menopause yet, so Hormone Thearapy is not an option. I've been taking D3, and B Complex but no real relief. Don't worry your not alone. We will all have to get through this. XO

      Colleen, hrt IS an option if you are in peri! peri is when you're hormones start to drop. My specialist meno gp told me this, & even peri can produce truly awful symptoms, so whoever told you this (if it was a doc-see a different one) is fobbing you off hun. xx

      My psychiatrist told me this. I started to see one when I hit peri because I've become so depressed and anxious

      A psychiatrist told you could not have hrt if you were in peri? Colleen I would ask your gp surgery if they have a specialist meno doctor or nurse you can make an appt with. I & many other ladies on here in peri ARE ON hrt hun. & it soooo helps many of us. It could help you too. xx

    Becky, you are not crazy, I know exactly how you feel. I have been battling all week as well. This is such a crazy, scary time. You can't help but have these thoughts. Just know this is menopause and I pray how soon we all come out on the other side. You are in my prayers!
