is it just me....

hi girls,is it just me,im in primenopause and  every month without fail.my life is like this,the end of every month i feel utter crap,depressed,no energy,no intrest in anything or any1,to the point i stay indoors and eat for at least 8 days,then i get a period for 5 days,BUT then feel high as a kite for days,then round about normal until the end of the month again....is this normal primenopause stuff,or is it just me................

Well, I am not saying this is normal, but it sure describes my month!

I do use progesterone the week before my period, and supplementing my iron has really helped, but I bleed a lot. You probably don't need iron, although who knows? You might have a test. The week before my period, supplementing my iron made a big difference.

Hi, I can empathise with you completely on this one. I am just about to go into my completely mad and irrational phase , although there is really no pattern as to when it will occur. It isn't just you I can assure you. I find the forums really helpful for the very reason that it reassures me that these symptoms are experienced by loads of us girls in peri. Unbelievably though every time I have the anxiety and motivation symptoms I worry that it may be because I am going to die of some horrible disease or go completely insane. It is so frustrating to be ok one minute and then completely incapacitated physically and mentally the next. Trying to explain this to others is also really hard because it is not obvious to them as there is nothing to see and I am sure that others think I am putting it on or making excuses neither of which is so. I wish that all of us girls struggling out there could all get together in one place( I know it would need plenty of space,possibly a whole continent ), and give out one almighty scream so tthat we may actually be listened to, and taken seriously. Hope you are feeling ok soon my love x 

Hi how are you doing? Not just you, we're all the same here with our varied wobbly hormones! LoL good days then bad days, I can relate, I have a run of days where I feel almost normal then I'm struck with feelings of being really down, weird & woozy n totally off, I get into extreme crying states & I get hot funny sensations. Has been almost 12 mths since I've had a period but sometimes I think my symptoms might follow a 'monthly' pattern....oh for this to end! 😡 I'm going mad with frustration LoL

Do take care, keep well.
