      My husband is an eternal optimist and always balances out my doomsday with his Pollyanna ;-)

    I'm with ya. Everyone has different symtoms and while you and I suffer mentally, others are bleeding profusely, cannot sleep, and having severe hot flashes. None of these symtoms are fun, and I pray that we all get over this and get our old selves back soon!

      Hi, sorry you are having a rough day. Today was better but yesterday was a struggle. I can't take this anymore either. Too bad there wasn't a support group where we could meet like AA. This forum is helpful but meeting d would be great where we could all get together to get through this

      That would be awesome Colleen.....a support group. Glad you did a little better today. Tomorrow will be a good day for you. I just got a journal to try and see if different things that I eat affects my mood the next day. Ugh trying to make some sense of these feelings. Btw what state do you live in?

      I'm 48 as well. I first noticed thr mental changes at the end of 2013. I sought treatment with two different psychiatrists since and I was the one who figured out what the problem was. My periods are pretty normal but the PMS is worsening. I don't have hot flushes, but always hot so i never knew nor did the psychiatrist guess it was Perimenopause. However, they never asked if I had those other symtoms. Sometimes we have to diagnose ourselves

      Yes we sure do! I dont have hot flashes either.....my Mom never did. Sometimes I get warm but I just thought it warm in my room at night lol! I know that we are all different and just because my Mom didnt have them doesnt mean that I wont but who knows. My Mom was completely done at 50. What do you do when you get really down?

      Did I mention that I've also lost the ambition to take care of myself? I used to keep up with my hair et now I don't care about anything. I take care of my pets more than myself. I wake up and feel aweful. No motivation at all. This is dibilitating for me

      The latest thing my darling cat likes when he's lying on the poofy in our lounge is for me to cup one side of his head in my hand & then stroke the other side with my whole hand going over his jaw,cheek & top of his eye/ear. you can feel the weight of his head fall into my cupped hand & he goes into a little trance with relaxation!! its so beautiful & really soothes me & makes me smile. xx

      I have 2 cats and a dog. I don't know what I would do without them. They offer such unconditional love.
