can anyone relate, I have weird feelings in my head. so hard to explain, its like a spaced out, sedated, foggy brain feeling......it is horrible. I literally feel like I am drugged at times. funny enough though I had a period a couple wks ago after not having one for 5mths and during my period i felt great, no weird feelings in my head at all. soon as my period was done i started going down hill. just looking to see if anyone has went through this with hormones if so what helped? this is ruining my life

    Glad you've mentioned this symptom i had it really bad nearly every day at begining of perimenopause 9 years ago but eased of after i went into menopause in 2015 but recently i feel its back, as you describe its like a spaced out feeling that makes your head feel weird and i even feel clumsy and off balance, its another symptom thats taken my confidence away and leaves me feeling anxious and alone in this as no one i know would understand so keep it to myself. BUT all you ladies who have it will understand and we need to keep sharing and posting on this forum so support each other.

    When i was going through the worse time of my whole life with this i would read posts and always find someone else felt the same so it helps and makes me feel less anxious.

    Hoping you have a better day tomorrow and just take each day as comes x

    I had this 2 yrs ago when all my problems started. No one understood what I was trying to tell them.I had a weird feeling of being not here, like I wasn't real. I think my anxiety had gotten so bad, this was my minds way of helping me, if that makes any since. I would always just say I'm spaced out today. It really bothered me too. But now 2 yrs later, it's gone, but I have other things that have taken its place. Sometimes I miss it because back then I didn't focus so much on my physical issues.
