Hi everyone. Still feeling flat as a pancake and everything feels like a huge effort. I’m on HRT. It’s private treatment and I keep wondering if I should ask my GP to switch but all the stories of supply issues made me hesitant. Feeling down and depressed as I do I didn’t want to risk completely coming off the rails by trialing different HRT. My main problems in the menopause seems to be emotional ones. I have dry eyes, dry skin, dry nails but no sweats, hot flushes, aches and pains etc, and so I assume the HRT I’m on is working but just not helping much with my low mood. I feel I don’t have anything in life that brings me joy anymore. I’ve lost interest in everything including food, socialising, exercising and feel detached, sad and numb. I’ve been depressed before but it doesn’t feel quite the same as this. I’m not sure if I now need anti depressants but I’m a bit scared they’ll make me feel more numb. I’ve booked an appointment with the GP but I’m not sure what help I need to be asking for. Has anyone else experienced this situation please? Thanks.
