Hey TV, don't be so hard on yourself. It's such a horrible time, I know. It's so hard to know what to say to you. I can only tell you what I've done. I too felt like my life was over and was angry. I decided I needed to calm myself, so every now and again I treat myself to a back massage or a facial. Not one of those expensive spa ones, but the ones you find in a local centre for about £20. I have a group of friends and we go for a night out once every few weeks, nothing extravagant, but the joy of spending time, having a good laugh with friends really lifts the spirits. I have had to find other things to do and to focus on enjoying those things instead of yearning for the old me. I even see a therapist once a month just to talk about anything! I wish there was a cure to all these feelings you have, but don't let it beat you. I don't know if this has helped at all, but I wish you all the best. x

Hi Louise
This is what I have been doing recently. Actually today I had a oriental face massage for £25. Well it was absolutely brilliant. I didn't feel like going but so glad I went.

That's the way! We need to be an awful lot kinder to ourselves, don't we? I think we all deserve it!

Ooohh, tell me about it! I've heard several folks say that yoga can help with the symptoms. Well I used to go to yoga classes and really enjoyed them. But since all this misery started my joints are so painful I can't do yoga anymore. If I can manage to get down on the ground, I can't get up again!
When I can (afford to) I get a back massage and that is FANTASTIC! It is so relaxing and gets rid of all the knots and tension. I can really recommend it.

Try a nice bubble bath? Relaxing music? Deep breathing? Time to relax the mind.
Or scream in the bath and let it all out. x
Peri is so frustrating and controlling - take the control back for an hour - you deserve that.
Take care

Hiya TVon. On Tuesday morning I was so full of fury, tears., frustration, that i Googled ladies boxing. Today I had a taster session and got to try out hitting pads :-) I start a ladies boxfit group next Saturday. I explained how the menopause was affecting me and that i was scared of bursting into tears. She said I won't be the first or last!!! So I'm biting the bullet and giving it a go. It was surprisingly good hitting the hell out of something :-)

It's horrible isn't it! I have constant nausea so the things I love - cooking, going to the markets, going out with friends, going on holidays, socialising have been taken away. I struggle to get through work each day and come home exhausted. Forums like this help to know you are not alone which helps me heaps.

Hi Tropical yes, I know taken mine too because I let it but as you know it can be frightening these symptoms, hormones are not quiet they scare you so I do understand
I see people get on with it how do they do it, my cousin going through the same thing but she goes out and drive and get on with it, so what is wrong with me
I guess it's my negative mind doing it to me every time I want to go out I'm at the window wondering this and that what I would be like when I do go out
Its sucks and it's sad
But I was told it will stop I'm looking forward to that day
We have to show it who is boss hugs
