Well after an awful week of being an emotional wreck, had 2 days off work as just couldn't handle people.
I've had the crapest weekend..
No motivation for anything,eating crap and just been so low. Then today.. took us out to walk the dog.. had a lovely walk only to get back to my car to find the drivers door open... As far as I can see nothing at all has been touched or taken or moved.. as I was checking the car over our new to us rescue dog managed to slip his harness and make a dash for it.. if it hadnt been for the kindness of a couple sat on a bench that Sam wanted to say Hi to..(they grabbed hold of him for us) I dread to imagine what would have happened.
So in amongst me worrying about how the car was open (had I left it open as got the dog out and changed into walking boots?) also worrying about what might have happened if we hadn't got him back.. and about future walks with him..
I feel horrendous and super panicky, highly emotional and downright weepy/scared.
I've spent the last hour and a half crying, a friend messaged me asking how the dogs doing and I've not been able stop crying since. I honestly don't know how I can face work tomorrow..
The silly thing is I know deep down I'm just emotional and it's all more than likely from hormonal changes.. but I am starting to wonder if I do now need to see the doc as it's causing me to miss work.. and maybe even become more forgetful. 😭😞
Sorry for long post, 😟

Yes I can totally emphasise...a few months ago I was sobbing over anything and nothing several times a day. Everything got massively out of proportion. Since I started hrt I have been much more under control although still more emotionalthan I used to be . But I do realise now that hormones are the reason for my hyper sensivity!

Firstly hello 👋 and secondly,never apologise for length of thread,that's what we're here for.
I'm so sorry you're feeling so low,we've all been there believe me.perhaps you should talk to your dr,hopefully you've a sympathetic one?
If you DID leave your car door open,hey,it happens,again,most on here have done something silly,it's fluctuating hormones,as I'm sure you're well aware,we become forgetful,it's all par for the course unfortunately. I actually forgot how to turn my phone off once, I just sat and looked at it,then of course burst into tears as I thought I was going mad.
Glad your dog ok,don't dwell on what may have happened,again as you know these things happen,nobody's fault.
Are you on any meds?are you post meno?
Anyway,let us know how you get on ,take care

Thankyou for your replies.
I'm 44 and in my opinion I'm in perimenopause and have been for the last 3 ish years. Have had a multitude of symptoms. which I've been to the docs with, all saying I'm too young and as was on the pill apparently I couldn't possibly be experiencing peri symptoms. Our docs are pretty rubbish, I've been on various birth control to try and control symptoms, I've been for counselling. I've also had a trial of HRT which didn't have any effect. As it stands I'm currently not on any meds after taking myself off the last pill due to horrendous bloating, weight gain and migraines.
I've had so many various peri symptoms over the years but this with my emotions. and forgetfulness is scaring me.

Hi!  No one is too young to go into menopause and GPs should be fully aware of that fact.

2ndly, your dog didn't escape but like me, you will probably relive it in your mind for days.  20+ years ago mine ran towards a main road after a rabbit, this road had 36,000 vehicles a day.   . Fortunately there was a thick hedge and eventually she gave up and ran back.  I feel sick even now  even though it didn't happen. 

You probably left the car door open.  Have you checked for dormice  .  I drove away from here leaving the porch door wide open, fortunately I had locked the inner door  . 

We have a doing stupid things as well as a dog breeds thread  .  Of course, it might have been that 'strange woman' who had distracted you, causing you to leave car door open - she's got her own thread

Doing stupid things - ha ha, that reminds me of last week when I was getting my car ready to drive the 2 - 3 hour journey to Poole to go to the menopause clinic, and was feeling extremely stressed. Did the oil fine, went to check my tyre pressure and managed to let most of the air out of one tyre instead of topping up! I felt so panicky and stupid, normally I can do this job fine, but luckily my local garage were really great and sorted it out for me on the spot.

My heart goes out to you. I was certainly in Peri at 44. That was when my anxiety started to get worse. Emotions up and down like a yoyo. It will pass. Really it will. I sometimes put a smiley on the calendar a week ahead so I know my ' mad' week will pass. And it does,  it really does.  Try and be gentle with yourself, maybe a bath and book? An easy funny film? Try and cut the caffeine, stock up on healthy(ish) snacks. I know for me anxiety breeds anxiety.  Keep busy. If you struggle do some deep breaths (Is it 4--7-8 someone posted it on here). The relaxing free Apps like Pacifica/Calm/ Headspace are all good. Hugs to you.

CLKD, ha ha personally I don't think it's worth having one of those irritating male-type people around all the time just to do your car and fix your plumbing - I learnt to do it myself a long time ago. So now I don't have to do his washing, put up with his moaning and snoring
(that was the worst) or have sex when I don't want to. RESULT
