Hello everyone,

I’m struggling today, feeling low and waves of a sort of deja vu, then I feel sick and anxious.

I have a menopause appt on Friday with Mr Savvas.

It’s all really tricky to manage despite a strong support system and lots of tools.

I just wanted to say you ladies have helped me so much in the past so I wanted to reach out again.

It feels a bit like my brain isn’t working properly. And yet last week I felt a little better.

It’s all so tough and I long to feel like me again.

I am on quite high oestrogen and low progesterone (progesterone intolerant) and two antidepressants. I have a psychiatrist appointment on Tuesday.

Still it feels, as I am 51, that maybe something hormonal is shifting and doing some sort of merry (not to me!) dance inside me.

If anyone has any words of reassurance I would be really grateful. I keep saying ‘this too shall pass’ and I know it will but I long for the feeling of being safely on the shore again.

❤️❤️❤️

Just want to say hi
I have noticed that no one as yet has replied to you so thought I would jump in so you don’t feel so alone.
I have had an awful time with very low mood palpitations terrible brain fog ect ect I can’t even begin to explain what an horrendous time I have had and still having and I know how awful it can feel . I think my hormones are wild aswell ..
You are definitely not alone with how you are feeling and thought I would send you a virtual hug and wish you well

You've got this 💪 some days are tougher than others...

This actually sucks that we have to go through this.

Are you feeling any better?

I totally know how you feel. I have had a horrendous time that I didn’t think was even possible - awful palpitations, low mood, joint aches, gastric issues. All I can say if remaining hopeful seems impossible but take it one day at a time and hold in there - I just tell myself, this has to get better! Wishing you all the best

Thank you so much for the replies, it helps to know I am not alone (although I would not wish it on anyone!).

My antidepressant was upped 2 weeks ago and I am feeling a bit better.

I have booked some counselling as it helped a lot with perimenopause and this feels like a new chapter, being in or close to menopause.

I have a scan booked for June to check my womb lining and hope to go back to work in a few weeks.

It really is one day at a time, as was mentioned, and being very tender with whatever feelings, moods and sensations are present each day.

I sometimes feel that it’s like being out at sea, untethered with a longing to return to the shore and safety and the fatigue of trying to get there.

Thanks for being there and responding, I am so grateful ❤️❤️❤️
