But does anyone on here feel out of control of their life? Are you having a hard time making decisions? Afraid of making the wrong decision? I other words, have you lost your fearlessness and you don't trust yourself anymore?
Yes. I am like a big baby. It happened during perimeno.
YESSSS!!!!,
I used to be fearless and didn't worry about nothing now that is all I do....
Yes yes yes to all you said !
Thank you ladies! I know I can count on you.😊
Oh my heavens...this is SO me! Sometimes I feel like I've lost my mind! It takes me forever to make a decision on anything...even something as "simple" as deciding which gift bag I want to buy to put a birthday gift in! Seriously...I just did that...and it took me 10 minutes to make a decision! Not to mention the " big" decisions, like what to order at a restaurant! Lol. I am lucky my husband is so patient and understanding. 😃😃
I absolutely lost control last year. I decided that I would not make any big decisions at all, until I am done menopause. Totally went through a year of not trusting myself. I am doing better now that I have caught on to the fact that I have two weeks of being totally off my rocker and two weeks of at least being able to think and get things done every month.
I guess i have kind of accepted that this is who i am now...so i don't get frustrated anymore, just kind of go with it as much as i can.
Hubby has caught on as well and he has become very helpful during the times i am nothing more than a wet noodle.
Hi Juanita! Yess. Worry and then worry some more. I think I read once being indecisive was a symptom of depression. Which totally fits with peri and menopause.
Now imagine feeling this way and building a house!! Welcome to my world. And now I am so paranoid that all of the subcontractors don't like me bc it takes me forever to make a decision and then I change my mind. 😂😂
#dontbuildahouseduringperi
Ohhhhh! I would never be building a house now! LOL! I did it just before peri started and that was hard enough. I don't think I'd still be married. My big symptoms hit in the middle of a kitchen remodel last year...and I seriously came very very close to being divorced at that. I'm feeling ya, girl!
lovely post and answers....
its awful at place of work......
Yes..when I was going through peri I couldn't even chose a simple paint colour for our living room and I usually love doing stuff like that. I'd sit and look at the walls for months and months and do nothing. I couldn't answer simple questions either and I'd stare blankly at people when they talked to me. Like I didn't trust myself enough to respond intelligently. I could go on and on..it was all very strange.
yes for sure , I feel I cant cope with little things like I used too as well ,, I feel like there is too much in my hear xx
in my head ,, sorry not hear
Juanita, you put into words exactly how I feel. I've sitting up in bed for 15 minutes trying to decide whether to have tea or coffee this morning! 🤔😃 Looking to buy a house at the moment and I just can't seem to make a sensible decision or feel that whatever I do will turn out ok. No faith in my own abilities any more. Does it come back? Any tips?
Mine is starting to come back slowly. Prayer and meditation helped me I mean I have been talking God's ear off! And just realizing that in the past even if it wasn't the right decision, I survived it and it turned out fine. 😁
It's not overnight but, it slowly returns.
I had that too. The littlest thing would send me into a tailspin, like the world was ending or something. Again prayer and meditation. I also started to think about my life and how really blessed l am. While it's not perfect, I realized there are people much worse off than me. For instance, this forum has truly been a blessing to me.🙏☝️❤
I know right? I put my house up for sale when it didn't sell, l felt like it was my fault. But then I realized my gut was telling me it wasnt the right time. I started listening to my gut(God) again. I put the house up again(the right time) it sold in 30 days! Prayer and meditation😊
Oh my work. I would get sick to my stomach. Working during peri and menopause is difficult.
😂😂😂 I just sold my house. Thank God I'm getting better. I wrote down what I wanted to change in the new house and I'm sticking to it(so far😁.
