hello ladies
came home from work early today feeling dreadful!
usually i just get on with it and fight on but today it all got too much

going back to clinic in couple of weeks hopefully to get some answers from my biopsies etc?
prolapse seems to be getting worse - even though i have restarted vagifem for it and va

i now feel guilty that i came home and let people down, also feeling anxious (thinking everyone is talking about me and judging)

thank you for reading and if anyone has any advice it will be greatly received!!

Don't feel bad. Better that than pushing yourself too far. Be kind to yourself.

still feeling down but trying to be positive

Hello Anderina and sorry to hear that you are feeling bad.
I wanted to say that menopause seems to affect us emotionally just as much as it does physically, that has certainly been my experience. I could happily live  life as a hermit at the moment as even the thought of people being around me makes me anxious as I always feel I'm being judged and thought of as inadequate. Menopause means you are dealing with so many changes that your confidence is bound to take a knock.
Be kind to yourself and be assured that you are not alone.
K.

Nobody told us what it would be like. My mum told me basics, no more. IE periods will stop, may get flushes, that was it.  Think we will be first generation of women who want to know what is happening & what may be to come. Knowledge better than ignorance in my book. Doesn't necessarily make it better, but it's great knowing you're not alone.
