Shopping and Peri/Menopause...

Posted , 9 users are following.

It's it just me or do any of you ladies find yourselves needing something from the store, and the minute you get into your car and start to drive, you become anxious/nervous and just feel the need to turn back around and go home, and try again later??? What the heck. All Menopause???

    I have heard this before---or even panic attacks at the store..   But I feel most comfortable at home and rarely feel like shopping because it feels like a chore.

      I feel you, I'm in the same position. I love to go shopping but lately I've been freaked out about going anywhere since my last episode at CVS pharmacy. EMS was called because I thought I was going to pass out, thank God I didn't but I was pretty embarrassed. Since then I've been a nervous wreck. I'm hopeful that this ordeal will pass fast. Stay strong ladies and pray.

    There are many occasions like this. Plus too many occasions that I don't even bother to get out of the house since I cannot face the other cars, traffic, pedestrians, cyclists, too stressful. I cannot face the world!
