When will all of this be over ? How long does this misery last?
Posted , 14 users are following.
We all complain about the same feelings
No appetite
Not being able to get out of bed
Weird sleep patterns
Anxiety
Crippling fatigue
Health paranoia
Depression
So on and so forth....
But nobody EVER talks about how long this lasts for .... it can’t go on forever can it ?
I’m not myself anymore and every day is like climbing a mountain ... daunting dark sad.
I see many women living normal lives ... doing things ... holding down jobs
When will we finally see ‘the light’?

Yeah I just saw an acquaintance at the grocery store and we were talking about jobs and told me I should be looking for a better job--which I DO!!! But I told her I can't get up in the morning or just plop back to bed for another hour or so.. She looked at me funny, like really? She's older than me too. How can I learn a new job, when it's hard to function already? And 3 nights in a row I was up from 2-4:30 am!! Why? I have no idea-- I begged my brain and body to go back to sleep but it wouldn't!! I wanna be 30 again!!

It’s so cruel. I do not sleep well either. Up 2-5 ish..sometimes night sweats. I take out the dogs, throw some laundry in. But at 6am, I can fall asleep no problem. Need to be up at 7 though! 30 was great! Never knew how good I had it 😁

Whatever you do girls DONT Google how long the symptoms last..... I just did, and I can't unsee it. I guess the answer is to find the right treatment. We may have to accept that this is the new us and start looking at getting the right hormone therapy. Seems like it could be a long journey for some.... I for one am not doing it treatment free! Big hugs ? xx

Hi Lori, I am seeing a new gyno on Tuesday... I am going to ask just to see what she says! Then, I will respond again. We should all just ask at our next Drs appointment and compare answers. Maybe we can all get a laugh. Let’s just hope it’s not infinity plus a day! Ahhhhh! 🤪

I'm in Australia and read that article couple of days ago. I think it's a fantastic start but can't see it happening here. Nobody mentions menopause in Australia and if you do people just laugh as if it's this ongoing joke. It's been no joking matter for me. It's been the hardest thing I've ever been through.

I also see woman leading normal lives and it bothers me. I've been through a lot of symptoms, but lately I'm just plain old cranky and negative and I just can't shake it, I do my very best to keep my mouth shut as I don't want to spread it, but sometimes it comes out, then I feel guilty for being a b***h.
As far as working, I go every day, work as hard as I can, so don't let all things fool you ?

Thank you for posting, I feel the same. I had to get on antidepressants 5 years ago at 50 years it helped! Fast forward Im 55 and BOOM anxiety crazy symptoms again. I had gone off the antidepressants 2 years ago. Im trying to go the natural route with vitamin supplements but its a roller coaster.
I used to love to take naps, but now i cant... I'm tired but the feelings when I wake up are just not worth it. So I exhaust myself, drink CALM magnesium at night to try to sleep.
Ive stopped telling my family how miserable I feel...Im sure they are glad. This is HELL and I really have no reason to feel this way- that even bothers me....I should be enjoying life now that there are no tragedies in it. On a positive note I am starting to skip periods maybe for my 56 (in Nov.) my body will gift me with the end of cycles and hormone stability.
May God bless us
