Do any of you ladies ever experience what I can only describe as being a 'weird' feeling? Where i feel not quite right. When it hits I become all quiet and can't even speak, eat or move. I tend to retreat and let it pass if I can. It's such an odd feeling!
I can't believe hormones are responsible for these odd feelings..
Dora, I get this almost on a daily basis. Menopause is the Pitts. It’s hard to describe, I know, but the feeling is exactly what you tried to describe. It’s so scary.

Yes, I get it, I feel like I'm have an out of body experience, then I feel all spaced out,
Same here!
Yes it’s like an out of body experience .... I always managed not working and never quite feeling empty but now .... it’s an ‘empty’ feeling like you’re not present . I hate this hormone stuff it’s the worst and so unfair that WE have to go through this whilst men just buy a sports car and get a you g hot girlfriend ! We are for sure shortchanged once again!
I get this feeling almost everyday am glad am not alone
Thank you Nettie x
Yes, it is a bit like that Gilly x
yes i have in past! i am about through peri no period 9 mo now.. but as ive had shifted hormones i did this and would explain it as dejavu. kinda like a sinking feeling and felt same each time like this has happened before. bizarre
You’re welcome Dora. My email if you want to text.
I can’t even remember what it’s like to feel normal anymore it’s been happening for so long. I just try to remain positive through it all. I try to keep busy so as to not think about it but it’s hard to do as I have Fibromyalgia and am in a lot of pain and am fatigued a lot so need to rest as much as I can making it hard to always get things done. Double whammer for me!

Welcome to the "Hotel California".. compliments of the Eagles.
sorry.... just a little satire.
But yes i totally get it, its like im this entity now, trying to make sense of it all. Just go with it, and with the support of this awesome forum of ladies that rule, you will find solace.
Hi Dora - Yes, the way I described it to my husband is I feel someone sucked my brains out & my body feels like I have been run over by a Mack truck on most days. It used to be that I experienced this “magical moments” only certain times of the month, but now it just feels like the norm & coupled with tingling extremities and burning body parts, and phantom aches & pains....oh & let’s not forget the anxiety and shortness of breath & constant smell of cigarette smoke....it’s no wonder some women used to go to the sanitarium during menopause - Holy Moly! Childbirth was a cakewalk compared to this!
Yes!! Exactly Debra.. .
Isn't it awful!
Thank you 😊 x

Dora,
I will do so but have to figure out how to first! Advice?
Nettie
Yes Debra!! I told my hubby tonight, I feel like I got hit by a truck! My butt cheeks even hurt and Lord knows I haven't worked out for them to hurt!!
I'm so annoyed and done 😡
debra i feel same . i have to admit i don’t feel as crazy reading others posts. i even had to laugh at a few. better than crying! i cant imagine yrs ago what wen felt not having what we do today and the knowledge. would have beena scarey scarey time. its bad enough in 2018. i have ringing in ear in left only when i lay down. strange smells and dry mouth. i found myself driving home on a completely wrong road probably 5 mi just thinking about stuff before i realized nothing looked right and turned around.
i just dont know what to do with my monkey mind some days. but i will not let the discomfort and hard times be wasted. i have learned alot and i know its hormones and not really me. that’s what is upsetting to us all is we know its not our normal thinking. it’s frightening for sur.
Hi All - I will continue to soldier on in this Menopause Journey...it just would be fabulous to know when the heck I can see the light at the end of the tunnel though - Today I had a PMS headache, like the kind I would get right before my period...(different than a migraine) - funny thing is, I haven’t had a period in 6 years! 😱
