Menopausal Woes Community Group

Is there no one out there in all these groups that are needing to talk about the loss of sleep, the terrible 'flashes', the woes of memory loss, the constant mood swings? Anyone???

Irrational Nutter

Good Morning everyone,  I've just joined today. Been doing research this morning on dealing with mood swings. Irrational thoughts and lack of self confidence, hence l have arrived here for real opinions. I feel like I'm turning into a lunatic. Does anyone use strategies to keep these sort of symptoms under control. My marriage is taking a hiding so I need to get a handle on them.

Hello,
That's exactly how I feel, like I'm truly losing it. I had such an anxiety attack this morning after an incident with my boss that I thought my daughter and friend were going to have to take me to the hospital. I've alienated friends and all I seem to want to do is be by myself.

You are not alone. Talk to your primary care doc, better yet your gyn and even a Psychiatrist. Many women, including myself have had to go on different medications for anxiety, insomnia, depression, mood disorders etc. while dealing with this life change. There is no shame in this! If taking medication temporarily will help your quality of life while you get through this and even things out it is worth it, Irrational Nutter (I'm sorry but I LOVE the name because it is so REAL). I had to take an anti-depressant and a mood stabilizer Plus an antipsychotic which I ididn't have before, so you are not an alone nutter! It's great you are here, it's a great place to vent. You may be losing your mind, but it is not your fault, it sounds like we all feel the same. If you are against medication lots of women have told me walking, exercise yoga and meditation work, which only makes me angry because I prefer ice cream and anti depressants. Whatever works for you do it! and good luck ((((( ))))) from one irrational nutter to another.
