I feel so unsettled, physically. I don't even know how to put it into words. I feel like my limbs weigh 100 pounds the idea of getting anything done is exhausting. I can sleep for 10 hours. I'm gaining weight even though I am not eating a lot. I have cramps so bad they wake me up at night. I'm cold all of the time. I have ZERO desire to even be near a man, let alone sleep with one. I didn't get my period for 4 months and now I've gotten it twice in 3 weeks. My hair looks scraggly. I have no desire to socialize, but, I'm not depressed. My skin is dry and it always itches. I don't have the same level of focus. My legs are squirmy, even though I feel like a slug. I need benzos for about 5 days a month to not be psychotic.
I used to get hot flashes for years, but, they stopped and were replaced with all of the above. Nobody ever tells you about all the little things that make you feel like you're in someone else's body.
