Menopause Discussion > Postmenopause
No motivation
daisie:
Morning ladies ,does any of you feel you have no motivation to do anything I'm postmenopause and this feeling is getting worse I can't be bothered for anything r anyone don't want to go out I'd rather stay in even house work is becoming a chore,I was once an out going woman loved shopping loved socialising all that has now gone can any of you relate to this x
CLKD:
Morning. Housework has always been a chore, I much prefer being in the garden, pottering etc..
When did U last have a full blood count done to include thyroid function and VitD levels? R U depressed? Did U have hobbies that you have now given up?
Also over see your diet in case you are 'lacking' anything. If U can get out to exercise, that may be the starting point. Not easy when the weather is all over >:(

Did u recover well from Covid? Fortunately DH and I weren't left with any residual cough etc.. It took a few weeks for energy levels to return. Virus attacks can depress the whole body as a defence mechanism, to make humans take more rest!
Have U considered a dedicated anti-anxiety medication ? In the 1990s I was prescribed valium to use as necessary: taken the evening B4 events that I was unable to get out of. Later on Propranolol every night helped a lot. Took the edge off.
