Yep. I often decide once in bed how much I will the next day: tidying the house, going for a walk, shopping - but when morning arrives, I can't be bothered :-\ …….. making a list helped me!

Hello vanessa spain.
I'm in the same position as you and know how you feel. I am anxious and quivery all day and then about 9pm I start to feel calmer and even a bit optimistic! The next morning however the horrible feelings come back.
I use Utrogestan vaginally and have recently increased my patch to 50 mcg so I'll see if things improve and I'll be sure to update the forum. Also I think this subject came up recently on another thread so you might want to do a search and see what comes up.
I also feel that life is passing me by and I find that very frustrating so you are not alone in that either.
I wish I could be of more help to you but in the meantime take care and keep posting.

Hi Vanessa sorry to hear about your anxiety I do sympathise I'm really bad right now doesn't help there is a bloke going round the estate where I live trying door handles at night and even walked in somebody's house the other night until the dog scared him off - I saw a man near munhousr last night and had to calm the police v nervous and stressed x
-
How are you this evening Vanessa Spain? Do you find you are better if you eat during the day?
-
Anxiety does affect you so much what are you taking Vanessa remind me? Your a swansea lady arnt you? Sending hugs xx

hi karenja thanks for reply i know how you feel there are a lot of break ins here in spain in our area but nothing seems to help im on 20mg mitrazraprine at night 40mg citalapram which ive been on for years due to family problems and perifem hrt which doesnt seem to do anything i should go back to doctor but just cant face it with this anxiety all i see is friends leading happy lifes and some are going to benidorm for xmas this time last year i was doing ok but i feel people think im just putting it on vanessa spain
-
Mine is like Kathleen's - am jittery all day but by the evening it tends to dissipate. But then it starts all over again in the morning. I take Premique HRT and 20mg Citalapram for the anxiety. It does seem to help. I try and avoid alcohol and read some book chapters to help me doze off. It just seems to take quite a while to kick in though. This forum is amazing, I thought I was the only one isolated but everybody is really helpful
Hope you feel better soon, try not to put pressure on yourself to feel on top of the world xxxx
-
what we see is not what may be happening with others ;) ………. how are you this morning?
-
hi CLKD thanks for reply no it doesnt make any differance if i eat in the day ive been feeling really bad today this is the last day of period its been awful last night i was bleeding very bad today anxiety been awful jus dont feel like moving i honestly wonder what next vanessa spain x
-
Might be worth having a word with your Practice Nurse or a Pharmacist if your bleeds are heavy/long there is a med which can ease symptoms. Try to keep nibbling to keep the anxiety surges away. Sit and do deep breathing which might help: in through the nose, out through the mouth ……
You have my sympathy, I'm holding my breath in case anxiety strikes in the next few days :'( - I will take to my bed this year :-\
-
Hi sorry to hear you not feeling so good lately, I was doing ok until this morning, after an hour of being up anxiety hit me again, just finished a period so I'm putting it down to that. Thought I was going to get through Xmas this year doing ok but now I'm on edge that it's reared its ugly head! Just hate feeling like this.

-
Hate it, hate it, hate it ……… mine is predictable in it's un-predictability :-\ - so long as I can get to mid-afternoon on Boxing Day ;)
-
awww Vanessa sending hugs, hope it gets better soon xx
-
I wish I could cut out C.mas completely and move swiftly into mid-January :-X
-
With you in that CLKD hate new year as well.
Just not feeling it the past few days,
Sparkle my tummy well playing up last night and today, wondering if it's the 2 oemprozole I've been on since Friday ? Might go back to one.

It is unbelievable how much our mood can change each day. Hang in there, it will get better. One day we will have more good days than bad :)
-
Lots of hugs to everyone. We are all really amazing the way we soldier on even though it can be so horrible. Honestly think that reading the posts here is the only thing that keeps me sane sometimes...just realising that there are lots of others who feel the same is such a comfort.
Thank you for your solidarity! Wish you all the peace you so much deserve.

Aw Donna, your post brought tears to my eyes, yes we truly are amazing....I feel the same, in my darkest times this forum has got me through so a huge thanks everyone for sharing and caring .....Wishing us all love, peace and light xxx

My heart goes out to all those who have anxiety.
I wonder why some of us have it and others dont.
I was never one to be happy with answers like "some women just do", there has to be a reason, there is a reason for everything, but, whatever your reason is, I am sending positive vibes that you all come through this xmas period as smoothly as possible.

Hello ladies.
I bumped into a friend the other day and when I explained why I was feeling so on edge she mentioned that she barely noticed her menopause. Now why is that ? It adds to my irritation no end to think that some women can have their ovaries atrophy without problems and some of us are stuck on this blooming hormonal rollercoaster.
Thank you Dandelion for your good vibes and many thanks to the ladies on this forum for providing the help and comfort that supports those of us in need.
Best wishes to everyone last one of you.

I am by no means the worst with my meno symptoms, but know what you mean Kathleen. I have a friend who has barely noticed "the change." She gets restless legs occasionally & a bit anxious, but that's about it. Me jealous? ;)
-
To be honest and this might be a little controversial...I think some women lie.
I have talked to acquaintances and watched them having flushes in front of me ad they have told me they are fine with no symptoms.
It is seen by some as a sign of weakness.
Daft or what.

I would at it is braver coming forward and saying we feel this and that

Not all women see it like that though.
It's supposed to be a natural progress and for some women it is.
I think there is a reason we have ended up at MM. It's because we are not having an easy journey.
