Hi not exactly how long ive been going through this rollercoaster of perimenopause but haven’t had a period for 5 months which has been great but as time is going on all my anxieties are getting worse I worry everyday that somethings going to happen to me I cry loads I’m moody I hate being with people for long periods of time my balance different times of the day are bad I just don’t feel like I used to I’m 55 anyone else feel like this 🙁xx
I sure do feel like you are feeling. My anxiety is thru the roof. I always jump to the worst case scenario. Hot flashes, night sweats, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, heart palpitations, chest pains. The list goes on! I am thankful for this group. It is nice to know that others are going thru the same things. I am 55 as well. Hang in Jan! You are not alone 😊
Hi Sue,
Yes me too ! Ongoing anxiety, such a nightmare isn’t it ? I think it’s my worst symptom to be honest.
Do you take anything for it ? I’m always overthinking and coming up with the worst care senario . . . Any appointment I have, such as getting my hair done is a real struggle for me 😩 x hugs to you
Hi yes I am going through the same thing have been to my gp she says I am defenetly going through the change i am also depressed too and has put me on tablets to hopefully help me you are not alone i have just joined this group and i am so pleased to have replys back from others feeling the same it has helped me i hope it will help you too jan good luck.
Hi sue I really thought I was going mad I always think the worst thing possible too with everything that happens .. all the best too x
Hello Debbie,
I am taking Passion flower and an herbal menopause supplement. I have taken Zoloft for anxiety before and it really helped. I am trying the natural way this time. I will give it a couple of months to work. If if doesn’t I may have to try something else. I hate anxiety!
Thankyou ... I’ve been thinking about going to the gp and get put on antidepressants he offered months ago but I wanted to try on my own but to be honest I can’t stand who I have become since going through perimenopause, I’m taking a holiday next month with my partner and my brother and his partner but already worrying where the hospital is incase I’m ill .... I seem to be taken over by this peri rollercoaster ... I wish you all the best on your journey through this phase in our life xx
