So tired

hey foxy, I can completely relate. For example are used to go like Duracell batteries Christmas decorating and I put three things up and I feel like I’ve hit the wall. It’s been this way now for quite some time. Everything seems like an effort I don’t have the interest I feel like bland plain chicken broth with no salt even. I also have fibromyalgia and I’ve had it for years and I really don’t doctor a lot with it because my doctors frustrated me too much. But I have to say between that and mental I feel very disheartened. I also read this article from this woman who has fibromyalgia and she’s only 37 and she was saying things that I never realized and it made me feel much better but it also solidified how difficult life is with Phibro but with metal on top it is really whooped my rear. i’ve already told my husband that or I have been telling him for years that we need to downsize into a one level ranch with an attached garage and he just doesn’t get it. I don’t know why he has diabetes and I boys catered to his illness but then again I’m a woman, and we all know the difference between men and women !! I have a friend oh my goodness she has so much energy and she’s 60 and I said what is your deal, you had a complete hysterectomy where do you get all this energy and she said HRT it’s a wonder. I’d like to know what HRT it is because I tried BHRT and it was a hot mess. and I really have to watch when I overdo it because of my fibromyalgia, it really really can get bad. I usually don’t say anything but I’ve been having a bit of a time recently. it’s almost as if we have to eat perfectly, not eat gluten, alcohol, sugar exercise religiously and that’s all great but when you already don’t feel good you’re not exactly feeling that, right?! anyway, I digress, sorry you’re feeling this way as well, and I wish I had a magic potion but I don’t. sending good vibes your way 😃

I also should’ve said, I’m three years post menopause 😉

I'm tired too.. I think with me I'm not getting good sleep where your fully rested.. I wake up early to get these kids off to school so sleep in interrupted. I'm also not excited about anything-- if I am, it doesn't last long. I do at times go back to sleep BUT then I wake-up feeling annoyed that I"m behind in my day.. UGH I just can't win these days..IDK maybe it's being married with kids-- by life is passing me by and I don't have any energy anyways..

Morning Again Foxy, I vervally dictate what I write on here and so much is always spelled wrong! It shouldn’t say 'mental', it should have said Meno;) There’s some other wrong words to, but I think you can figure it out 😃

post menopause for two years here, and I have the same symptoms. I don't have any motivation to do anything, just want to stay in the house all day, curled up in front of the tv, or looking at my phone. It's depressing, and I don't know if it's because I'm already depressed or because of menopause. I'm going to read all of the replies and hope someone here has some answers on what to do about it.
