Not having a good day!
Posted , 4 users are following.
I've been doing pretty well, but it's period week and it has hit me again. Nervous, anxiety, panic, and unwanted thoughts. Makes me feel terrible and very blue. This makes me want to hide. I'm so afraid that I'm going nuts that I don't want to be near anyone. Prayers please. I have a life that needs living and no desire to live it. So scared. So tired of this mess. So mad that men don't have to deal with this.

"I have a life that needs living and no desire to live it". Exactly how I feel too of I am 44. How old are you? Like Becky says,? You will have good days. It's just hard. I know I wish I could go to sleep and wake up and feel better! But I feel like I will sleep my life away.

I am 44. The worse thing about all this is the unwanted intrusive thoughts. They scare me and make me feel like I'm going nuts. Takes the life right out of me. Makes me want to hide.

Hi Ann. I really feel for you. A couple of thoughts: First, have you been to a doctor?
Aside from the "joys" of menopause, we do seem to collect sadness as life events accumulate. And of course depression even without any apparent cause is also common, with or without menopause.
From what you've said, my feeling is you may be suffering needlessly. It's quite possible medication and/or targeted, short-term therapy could help you conquer those awful intrusive thoughts and etc. Best wishes.

Hi Ann. I feel the same. I'm on citalopram for my fluctuating hormones which cause anxiety. The nurse seems to think I'm heading for the peri menopause. Keep smiling. It will pass. X
