Suzi Q:
Helen what your feeling i promise you 99% of us have felt.
All i can suggest is little goals its what i did. I also went meno at 37 ohhh
My lifes ovet hubbie wont want me son wont need me etc etc B......
It took a few years but i realised im the same person i always was just no periods.
Oh i was quite nasty quite angry quite hateful at times. No hrt cos of family history.
Im now 60 odd no periods since 1996. Im on Vagifem due to sever Atrophy.
My only regret is if i could go back id demand hrt not for any other reason but Atrophy.
As for weight its probably pills. How your feeling will pass. As for palpitations
Beta blocas stopped ine cead in its track's. I dont take them regularly just when i get the scarey feeling and the symptoms couple of weeks taking them im fine then i decrease them and then stop. Make little goals weekend away. Pictures and finner out.
Visit freinds. Have freinds over. Its important you make yourself do things hugs SuziQ x

It does get better - and the great news is this is largely in your hands provided you don't have too many other health issues :). Yes do introduce yourself elsewhere so that more members can welcome you!

Thank you for your positive post. I can relate to how you felt in your 30's. My GP in my 30's sent off a blood sample to find out how low my hormone count was, not a good reply, my dob was queried by 30 years+. Outwardly I was in my 30's, inwardly in my 60's. That must make my insides over 90 by now ;D It's lovely to hear that you now have a wonderful man in your life, a job you seem to be enjoying and life is looking bright. I wish you well for your future together.

I posted on here a few times, around 4 or 5 years ago. I was described as post menopausal at the age of 38. It was truly shocking at the time. I was single, lonely and childless, and basically went to pieces. I felt like a failure, lost all sense of femininity and slumped into a deep depression. I barely slept and every day was a sweaty, upsetting slog. Then I found out I already had osteoporosis. Life was over as far as I could see.
The support and understanding shown by the ladies on this forum was wonderful. It helped me get through bad days. That said, I had a hard time in feeling I was way to young to be having those discussions.
I just wanted to reflect on how I felt then, compared to where I am now. After a lot of juggling with medication, my mood stabilised, flushes reduced, I started getting better sleep and had the confidence to gain promotion at work. The best part is I started dating and met the most wonderful man, who I now live with. We have cats rather than babies, but I'm at peace with that now. I've gotten fit and life is better than ever.
I just wanted to share a positive story, as I know that some of you won't be able to see light at the end of the tunnel just now. Hang in there, be good to yourselves and take support from those who love you.
Wishing you all the best of health
Lynne xx
