Desperately need help
« on: December 28, 2017, 03:20:42 PM »

Hi guys x I am 5 says off being 50 and have been going through peri for a couple of years. Doc put me on patches about 3 months ago, which I am not feeling any effects of as yet.
I suffered from depression before meno and it has got even worse, major anxiety and panic attacks are frequent. I feel like I am just an onlooker to whats happening to me.  Emotionally I am a wreck, having caused major marital problems 4 yrs ago,  I am still trying to make amends and be the best I can be but my emotional state trashes everything. I have nobody to confide in apart from hubby and he is still dealing with the trauma i caused.
Somedays I want to curl up and hide from the world, not gonna happen. I have to talk it out and make the effort to be normal.
I have forgotten what normal is, I want me back not this train wreck I have become. It feels like nobody understands how this affects everything.
Am sorry to ramble, not a good day today. Maybe tomorrow will be better xx

Firstly - try to enjoy your birthday!

2ndly - rarely is anything so bad that it can't be sorted [apart from bereavement or abuse] - what agencies have you/both contacted in order to talk out, truthfully, the issues?

 :welcomemm:  browse round. Make notes!

What treatment did you have for depression?  This as well as anxiety can be made worse by hormonal upheaval at menopause.  Do you have a Practice Nurse to talk with?   Maybe make notes to take along. 

Can you tell us what your GP prescribed?  Or do a 'search' here for the product to see how other ladies have benefitted?
