Does anyone just cry for really no reason or because of the smallest things!!??
I'm having a spell 
it's been working up for a day or so.
Hi Ginger, yes all the time! Its getting better though. Im able to cry a little less. But I still have my moments. Its tough but believe it or not it will get better. Take it day by day and cry 8f you need to. I will pray for you! Take care!
I know exactly how u feel. Been feeling like this for 3 days. Things pile up and everything seems out of control. I had bad food poisoning, my daughter didn't get her A level option and is stressing me.
Came back from Spain and my daughter p*ssed my partner off all is overwhelming at the moment.
Crying comes naturally.
Hi Ginger being post menopausal for 9 years I am still getting periods of time when I just cry if something doesn't go as expected I can cry at the drop of a hat and this has just started again these last couple of months or it can be for absolutely no reason whatsoever. It's very normal we all go through times of this at one time or another you're not alone.It's best just to go with the flow and cry if you need to it helps relieve a ton of stress and anxiety also.
Exactly how I feel.
Was supposed to have a relaxing week in Spain, my daughter made it hard and his son is 11 and acts like a 5 year old.
Had food poisoning while there and all went down hill.
Feeling low.
Ginger, this started with me in 2009 when all of this craziness started. It will let up and I will think it is behind me, but it always comes back. I have been dealing with it again over the last few months. Just cry, for no explainable reason. I pray it will eventually go away and I will only cry when I have a reason to cry! 😢
Totally agree and it affects my tummy and I get bad indigestion which triggers off my anxiety.
Natacha I get upset tummy too and the same thing my anxiety goes through the roof ...right now I am getting muscle spasms in my back and have inflammation in my ribcage so that also puts the anxiety up quite a few notches too also I wake up anxious and have nausea issues like morning sickness that lasted for a week but eventually died down thank God... I am hoping all this is my last big bang before I am totally finished with all of this but I know it could still be a few more years yet sadly
Hi ginger, oh yes! I am crying, sobbing, wailing, ranting, it's like a switch goes on and I cannot turn it off. Sadness turns into heartbreak, fury, rage, my moods are off the scale right now and I just feel out of control sometimes. Then afterwards (which can be a day or night) I'm exhausted with a migraine and tortured with guilt and embarrassment at my family witnessing it and then I feel worthless and I don't know how to pick myself up. It makes me feel so alone but that's the point isn't it? We're not alone, we're all going through our own versions of this journey. So thoughts with you - you are not alone.
Oh my yes!! Exactly what I've been feeling last few days with rib cage and indigestion etc.
I'm pretty sure I started all this craziness shortly after my second daughter was born , we had kids late in thirties... Now 42 so I'm sure I have several more years of it unfortunately 😔
Hi sweetie, we are all doing the crying thing at the mo its part and parcel of meno my mum used to say its the way we are made it helps us clear all the cobwebs of the past child bearing days of hard work or just all the hard work us ladies do over the years for when we are over this and can relax and enjoy the freedom it sounds about right to me , we also find it hard to cope . I was ok for a while untill thursday last week my husband was told he has bad kidneys ,then friday he was taken into hospital and started steroids untill tuesday then he will start cemo my world was turned upside down in a few days and maybe for the rest of my life, i can t stop crying now on top of all this what a mess but do you know i have had 17 years of hell on perimenopause and boy if i can do that all that time and it was bad then i can do thiseveryone on here has a bad time but in the it will come good, i had just started meno and started to feel beter what a bum ,you cry as much as you need to my mum says its good for us we hope take care x
Hi Ginger, not sure how far along you are in perimenopause but perhaps you should consider some sort of HRT or try menopace, which will help balance out some of your hormones. Then perhaps you can stop crying. I also notice that when I take a multivitamin I'm not crying as much and also take vitamin D3. Hope it stops soon.
Know exactly what u mean.
I try to be as positive as I can, nonetheless somethings it becomes too much. I have to be so careful with what I eat and drink. When I get upset tummy my anxiety hits the roof and I begin to see things than in 3D.
I have been menopausal for 3 years now and with HRT it was ok. Had to stop it night sweats are strong. Stress causes most of the symptoms to get worse. How do U avoid stress?
Impossible. Seems like God likes to test my boundaries, to see how much more I can take. I get months of calm and then a tornado comes and takes away my peace.
Sounds like me! I too get the worse with migraines as well .... So frustrating but comforting to know others are going through the same!
Oh how sorry I am !! Your problems are much worse right now. sorry you're going through so much!! 17 years!!??? Arghhh..., I've inly just begun but you are an inspiration
Hope everything turns out ok with your husband ... I work in dialysis so I've seen a lot of kidney problems and a lot of tears
You are right that crying is a way to cleanse
Thank you for reminding me and of support!!
Me too with tummy brain connection ! Double whammy it seems
Thank you ladies for all your comforting thoughts and support!! So good to have a place to feel somewhat in the norm ....
me too Natacha several months can go by and I think hey I'm over it now I've been great for ages then bam it starts again and I'm 9 years post meno ....hoping to see some light at the end of this very long dark tunnel
I've had crying spells too. Thank you fluctuating hormones! The best thing I have done to help myself is to eat a clean diet. Diet is huge. That and some over the counter progesterone cream. This all keeps me pretty balanced. I avoid sugar like the plague because that really brings me down.
Thank you!! I do notice a difference when my diet is off! Every so often I fall off track and notice it hits big time! I've been using progest cream for a little over a year now and can say it does help 😌
I'm a dietitian and you'd think I'd know better but every time I deter from eating well my symptoms are far worse and I act like it's just out of the blue lol
