Title: Another Newbie saying hi
Post by: NaturalMystic on November 17, 2018, 06:49:52 PM

Hi ladies (and gents, hoping there are some trying to learn),

I'm Nicky, 50 years young, stressful job in management and single mum to a 17 year old, good, lad.  We live in Essex UK with our kind staffy, Mr (bob) Marley  8)

Looking forward to sharing and supporting you guys and hoping for the same back😋

Been peri for 10 years now, mostly struggle with sleep (less so now 4 weeks in to estrogen gel) and panic disorder.  Everyone who knows me knows me to be confident, outgoing, feisty and the life and soul.  Most wouldn't even know I was having an anxiety attack when having one.  Wish I could be the old me again, I've never been a worrier.

Bored of this crap now 😁

Question for the post pausers: Does it get better ?

It does get better.   :welcomemm:  It's The Change, does what it says on the tin  ::)

Some ladies find that keeping a mood/food/symptom diary of use.  Maybe think which symptom you would like to ease first.

High levels of anxiety are common at this time of Life.   :'(

We have a dogs thread too ;-)

'In the tea' means what  ???

Ask your Pharmacy or Practice Nurse, maybe they could begin a group in your area?
