Thought I would post as a bit of a hope to all struggling especially newly so. This time last year after being unwell for many months with meno symptoms & wanting to end my life as things where not getting better & my GP's fobbed me off I feel happy, much happier than I have for some time. After hitting rock bottom I was prescribed an AD then 6 mths later I was given HRT as I found a GP who agreed that at 51 yrs I was in peri. Things have slowly got better not sure what has helped the most it has been very gradual & of course I have accepted certain things now. I just wanted the old me back & now she is. I was dreading Christmas this time last year & couldn't even leave the house. It's not been easy & I was determined not to change the meds I was given & persevere with them. It is such a difficult stressful time of year coming up & if you add feeling unwell onto that us ladies take the lions share. This is a great place to come & find things out & no longer feel crazy or alone. I know I will have more to come meno wise but no longer feel overwhelmed by it. It's hard to persist with getting help when you feel so poorly but believe what you suspect no matter what age we all know ourselves better than anyone else & these darn hormones are a real roller coaster but hoping we can all get back to new improved versions of our old selves xxxx
