Hi everyone, I've just joined this forum, never posted on any forum before. I've looked at some of the issues and responses and the support is amazing. I'm hoping to join in on some of that. I'm 49 and in the last 4 weeks have had 2 really heavy week long periods with big clots. I googled the clots and found that to be a classic symptom of hormone imbalance so didn't worry, it was just draining. However in the aftermath my mood has dropped so low, I realise from the hormone issue. I have this feeling of dread and can burst into tears at any time for no reason. Any excitement has disappeared, I am just existing. I feel extra guilt and compassion at the slightest thing which feed my low mood and tears. I'm grumpy too, my son is home from uni and I feel so annoyed at his untidyness and his lack of help around the house. But I can't say anything to him about how I feel, hes a 20 yr old man who is in his own world. I really feel if I was to be hit by a bus tomorrow all he'd miss is the money and bail outs. My daughter is 15 and is more compassionate than her brother but at the same time I feel taken for granted. My husband is supportive but not proactively so. I've had some time off work over Easter but having too much time to think and dwell is not good, I've been trying to keep busy to keep my mind occupied. As a family we've got 2 concerts in the next month and a big holiday in the summer which I couldn't be less enthralled about. I have no interest. Sorry I sound so pathetic, others have far worse issues but I feel so low. Has anyone any advice please?
