Hi all
I have wanted to write this for a few days but you know when it seems like a mountain to even try to begin to put into words something you can't articulate.
I just need advice as I don't have anyone really to ask for this advice.
Almost 2 years ago I went to doc as felt anxious. I was 48. Tests suggested peri but still having regular periods etc. I was given everel 50 patches which seemed to help. Over the past 2 years I've noticed many changes happening to me physically and emotionally, I have also read others that have been experienced by some on here. The worst of these is my anxiety and mood. My anxiety used to be morning mostly and I'd improve and calm.as the day progressed. However since there is a shortage of everal patches the doc has put me.onto femiston 1/10 which I've been taking for 2 months now.
I feel so awful. My low mood has not shifted at all, I have huge anxiety and ruminating about everything bad or sad. I cry a lot and feel guilty all.the time about being such a crappy mum at the moment. I feel so fake, I pretend to laugh with my youngest son but I feel so bad as I'm not feeling any joy in anything.
I really don't know anything about hrt but I'm.wondeng if it's the change of hrt. I felt great on the patches. But I'm also thinking maybe this is how it is. My son asked me today why am I so grumpy all the time and this made me pluck up the courage to ask advice on here.
Any advice ref hrt welcome x
I'm on AD and have been for many years.
